I do gotta ask...why do some of y'all get emotional if somebody doesn't like a movie? 
It almost reminds me of people getting actually angry at me becuz I thought Kevin Hart was incredibly lame and not funny at all. Like I have to find him funny or something

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.
Nope - 2022: Current Gross: $49.1 million (Releases internationally Aug 12th) - Production Budget: $68 mill
Us - 2019: Domestic / Worldwide Gross: $175.0 mill / $255.1 mill - Production Budget: $20 mill
Get Out - 2017: Domestic / Worldwide Gross: $176.1 mill / $255.7 mill - Production Budget: $4.5 mill
Yup but Universal might think twice about tripling the budget for his next movie tho

Peele is nothing but a nikka Night Shyamalan.
M. nikka Shyamalan. That's probably what Frank Reynolds was thinking.
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
Kind of a stan thing. People dont ever want to admit something is mid, especially coming from someone they think can do no wrong. So they have to say shyt like "u didnt get the movie" "go see movies with explosions then!"I do gotta ask...why do some of y'all get emotional if somebody doesn't like a movie?

Same thing in the booth.
Not liking a movie is one thing.
Not understanding a movie is another.
Celebrating as if a black director failed after 1 weekend because you didn’t like, understand or both is…
The movies black people have been “allowed” to make in Hollywood have been slave porn, magical/helpful to whites movies, hood trauma or failed relationship movies and when we get to do something different that shows us in another light, some of us are quick to dismiss it and celebrate its perceived failure.
That’s what I have a problem with. Black Panther wasn’t a great film but I saw it multiple times alone, with family, etc. to contribute to its success because we rarely get shown in that light. The third act of it was a CG dumpster fire, but I’d never go around saying it at the time because I didn’t want to be a part of trashing something that leads to more opportunities for us to be shown as heroes.
I’ll leave it at that.
When was the last time you saw a Hollywood movie about a creature or monster that centered around a black family business and explored the dynamic of the dutiful child vs the carefree child left to pick up the pieces after their father’s passing?
Not some hood stereotypes running and screaming from a monster with their eyes bucked out?

its his 3rd film and alot of nikkas gave him an early moniker i dont think its about hate but failed expectations (which are kinda unrealistic tbh cause as I said, its only his 3rd film)Not liking a movie is one thing.

Jordan Peele isnt bad at all tbh, but his themes and genres are starting to feel one trick pony. Maybe he should make a rom-com or sum and try something new
Ryan Coogler started off with drama and now does Black Panther (and hes quite successful with the transition tbh)

Wouldn't the increasing percentage and dropping box office also be indicative of only his fans coming to see his movies and less broad appeal which each successive one? He is more famous though and to his credit he actually leverages his clout to make the movies he wants.

wtf actually is the UFO btw?
I looked online and every nikka saying
I looked online and every nikka saying
its either a jelly fish or a manta ray with some half-assed explanation
It definitely gave me phantom jellyfish vibes but with the ability to shape shift like an octopus.

Any guess is valid, that's the beauty of it
It's not even necessarily an alien, it could be something that was living here and feeding for decades, just unnoticed
If Peele ever ventures into those genres you mentioned, then more power to him. I do hope he continues to give us these kind of films though. I feel like his scariest film is yet to come, and there were glimpses of gem horror moments here that I wish he can fully dive into in the future. All of his theatrical releases so far have fulfilled a high I never felt with whatever Kinberg and him had attempted on the failed Twilight Zone revival.its his 3rd film and alot of nikkas gave him an early moniker i dont think its about hate but failed expectations (which are kinda unrealistic tbh cause as I said, its only his 3rd film)

I give credit to Nope breathing life into a sub-genre that has lost its way in recent years. It would be nice to get more sci-fi horror/thrillers on the big screen.
