Jordan Peele‘s career as director has been off to an amazing start. His first film the 2017 horror comedy Get Out was both a critical and financial success. It looks like his second film Us starring Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke has solidified Peele’s status as a successful horror director.
Us is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 22nd, but it premiered earlier this month at SXSW, where it was received an overwhelmingly positive response.
According to Deadline Us is expected to be major financial success and earn anywhere from $45 to $50 million dollars on its opening weekend alone. If this is true it will have beaten Get Out, which despite breaking box office records, only earned $33 million during its opening week.
The release of Us might mean devastating news for Captain Marvel. It has been predicted that the super hero movie will have a 40% drop in ticket sales after Us enters theaters. But fans of Captain Marvel shouldn’t worry too much, because the movie has already earned at least $800 million world wide and proven its validity as a key standalone Marvel film.
See Us in theaters this weekend and check out the trailer below.
