Movie making some serious cash. Made $21 million in its 3rd weekend and only had a 25% drop.
It's now made $111 million
Again, and only on $4.5 million budget
The profits must be insane in that small budget.

Yep, money can only go so far into protecting you. At some point, you got to speak your mind and think about the next generation, cause the kids are always watching.

Thought we were done with this one but alright. Like I said they could have used MANY or ANY reason for actually abducting imo. Civilization is ending and only the fast and strong black people will survive. Or melanin is some type of cure for some white disease. Or Africa is the motherland and they abduct blacks to fit in to something. There's about to be reserve slavery and they want to ensure they are on the right side this time around. Something! Anything!

And yall trying to defend this hole in the plot ass story. Like I said yall win 
The idea of black people being "in fashion" like fabric is the entire point of the fukking film. I'm flabbergasted that you're able to understand the point that black people were abducted because they're black but not that their blackness has inherent advantages to these affluent non-black people, who wager on the opportunity to gain the consciousness and operate as a black person to become "cooler", "stronger", or "sexier".?

The vessels I saw contained the souls of the elderly grandparents, that would fit all three of the bolded adjectives, but I saw that as just a second chance at vitality; of course they would pick young vessels. Why would they choose an older vessel body for an older soul? To me that premise had absolutely nothing to do with race at all, just wanting "eternal life" or whatever you may call it.
My problem is that this is going to be the barometer for black race films. And you're telling me that its because we're cooler? sexier...? Not because of our genius, our skin? Our beautiful features. Our determination? But being cool? I have a problem with that.
I have a problem that any white person can walk out of the theatre and can say to themselves "the abducted those blacks simply because they're cool" I have a major problem with that
Andre Hayworth and every nikka in that set of photos Chris found is a presumed vessel also

That is truth. Like I said maybe I'm reading too far into it. Get Out/Peele isn't going anywhere. I'm happy for his success but this film could have sparked a lot of conversation and gave white viewers some deep AA history. Not just memes about not dating white girls. Just a young man's opinion though
It's mindblowing that you doing understand that this is a satire, or maybe don't understand what satire is, and that this is simply exposing that certain people feel this way about black people, that they view them as superhuman.
No it wouldn't have and you know it
We can look to Spike Lee's largely-ignored filmography for any and all conversations on American race-relations

White folks aren't messing with Spike though. Jordan Peele is already in their comfort zone. You can read a few posts back I didn't even remember dude from MADtv but the white boys in my office new all of his stuff. Peele already has $80M of their attention (I'll say 80% of the $100M they made were white dollars - just an estimate). He's not the unpredictable type like Spike, he's safe
So you honestly think this movie, made by a comedian which they perceive as "safe", would shatter the privilege of these white liberals and magically have them begin thinking outside their bubble?
If Louis C.K. can't even wake these cacs up from their privilege, what makes you think a nikka can?
