Get Out! Jordan Peele’s ‘Us’ shatters records with $70.3M
Associated PressNEW YORK — Jordan Peele has done it again. Two years after the filmmaker’s “Get Out” became a box-office sensation, his frightening follow-up, “Us,” debuted with $70.3 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday. Other holdovers — the animated amusement “Wonder Park” and the cystic fibrosis teen romance “Five Feet Apart"— trailed in third and fourth with about $9 million each in their second week. But the weekend belonged overwhelming to “Us,” which more than doubled the $33.4 million domestic debut of 2017’s Oscar-winning “Get Out.” The former “Key & Peele” star’s first film as writer-director, “Get Out” ultimately grossed $255.4 million on a $4.5 million budget. “Us” cost $20 million to make, meaning it’s already a huge hit for Peele and Universal Pictures, which notched its third No.
