Official NOPE Thread

[Here Comes the Pain]

Very strange but Good film. Very suspenseful & unorthodox. I couldn't predict what would happen next.

I left the movie theater wondering what exactly did I just watch. In a pleasant way.

I didn't really detect any social commentary in this one. I'm sure someone will point it out in due time tho.

Keke palmer was great in this.

Definitely one of the summer blockbusters that actually delivered this summer.

So what was the deal with the camera man?

I figured he’s just the character that finally finds meaning by being part of the beast.

I don’t know what you call it but there’s a character like that in most creature horror movies.

Spoiler

In the movie, Holst, the videographer, makes reference to a hollywood saying "one for them, one for me". Meaning as a person that is into the art of filmmaking you do one for them...the studio...a movie that lacks any type of real art but pays the bills (think Marvel movies)...then "one for me"...meaning a movie has more indie vibes and is more artsy. It may not pay the bills, but it's the film you as a filmmaker really want to make.

Holst, wanted his "one for me"...remember he sat around all day looking at animal predator videos...he wanted the impossible shot...the animal predator video that nobody has...from the perspective of the prey.

He got one reel of video for OJ and Emerald="One for them"
The he swapped out the reels and got his impossible shot that he would die for="one for me"

and i believe he was terminally ill because he was popping some kind of pills.

Movie only made 49 million. Dropped off big from Friday thru the weekend. Looks like this will be his lowest grossing movie to date.

The budget to make the movie was $68M. They’ll make that back plus the marketing budget this weekend and will be in the black (profit) in its 3rd weekend and digital release after it leaves theaters.

No, Jordan Peele’s ‘Nope’ Isn’t a Box Office Disappointment

Like any good Jordan Peele movie, there's a lot to unpack from "Nope's" box office opening weekend.

variety.com

The movie is a success especially when you consider it’s not a superhero movie or a sequel to a popular franchise.

There’s also data to back up the notion that Peele’s brand is only growing in popularity. For “Get Out,” 22% of audiences cited the director as their reason behind going to theaters, per PostTrak. By the time “Us” opened on the big screen, that percentage grew to 40% and for “Nope,” a staggering 56% of people pointed to the director as their explanation for buying a ticket.

“Those are Tarantino, Wes Anderson and Spielberg numbers,” Dergarabedian says, referring to the few directors who wield that power. “[He’s] made such an enormous splash.”

[daemonova]

. They hated it

 

[BlackMajik]

So Jordan Peele is the new M. Night Shyamalan

I had a feeling he was a one hit wonder lol

A LOT of people on Twitter are calling him M Night and a one hit wonder. Grand Opening, Grand closing lol

Yep. That’s true.

Also true the movie didn’t flop and will make a profit, keeping Peele in demand as a director.

Those 2 gumps and their bbw love trash movies. I bet they liked that new Thor movie that I have no interest in.

Who checks with them for serious movie opinions?

 

[Remy LeBreh]

People keep saying this like it's a bad thing. Shyamalan has had a massively successful career. Also, Us made a shytload of money vs cost, just as Nope will.

Movie will mos def make a profit, just pointing out it'll be his lowest grossing movie by a mile.

And Thor dropped off the map real quick. Nope just doesnt have the word of mouth. The title is also just dumb and nobody knows what to think of it. The theater i went to was pretty much empty.

M knight had 3 very successful movies in a row. And his Alien movie made much more money than Nope will.

They are similar but M knight fell off after signs. Maybe Peele will come back strong after this miss.

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

Jordan Peele’s Nope topped the box office on Tuesday, earning $5.46 million on day five to push its domestic cume to $54.605 million. That’s a 14% increase from its $4.7 million Monday gross.

Box Office: ‘Nope’ Passes $55 Million As ‘Minions 2’ Tops $300 Million

'Nope' is thus far pulling legs closer to 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' than 'Us.'

This thread is becoming ironic in that people are looking for a train wreck and are more entertained by the potential disaster (there isn’t one) of the movie’s failure than the message the movie delivers.
