Get Out Scares Up Number One Opening

February 27, 2017 Gaius Bolling Reel Box Office Comments Off on Get Out Scares Up Number One Opening

Blumhouse has done it again! When I wrote the predictions last week, I said I wouldn’t be surprised if Get Out went above my $20-25 million predictions and here we are on Monday with the film exceeding expectations to open with a massive $30.5 million over the weekend.

The film is riding high with a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and the opening day CinemaScore was also impressive for horror with a solid “A-“. The film cost $5 million to make so this one turned a profit by the end of the night on Friday and even though horror does see some massive drops after the first weekend, I think word of mouth on this one is good enough to allow it to stay strong in the coming weeks.

Check out the full top ten results below:

February 24-26

  1. Get Out– $30.5 million
  2. The LEGO Batman Movie – $19 million
  3. John Wick: Chapter Two– $9 million
  4. The Great Wall– $8.7 million
  5. Fifty Shades Darker– $7.7 million
  6. Fist Fight– $6.3 million
  7. Hidden Figures– $5.8 million
  8. La La Land– $4.6 million
  9. Split– $4.1 million
  10. Lion– $3.8 million
