Get Out | February 24th | Under Comedy/Musical Category at Golden Globes

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Few genres lend themselves to metaphors and allegories like Horror, behind a crazy plot or a monster, there is always a critique for society, I am happy to see that films like Get Out continue to keep that light shining.

To echo Empire's thoughts from a few weeks ago, this is fantastic. Crowd absolutely loved it. Wouldn't surprise me if this is also top 3 funniest movie of the year, all while being legit scary.

[robertman2]

What kind of horror/humor is this? Is it like Scream? Evil Dead 2/Army of Darkness? Gremlins 1?

based on buzz around me I'm predicting like an 17 million OW

Why wouldn't it go higher?

mm maybe. I guess maybe highest 22 million 

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Is it really tracking that high? Would've thought it would be low 10s or so. Guessing the budget is 5m-ish, so it's gonna be a pretty big success no matter what.

yeah I don't think it's tracking that high that's why I said 17 million. Wouldn't be surprised with like 13-15.

Glad people advised this is a comedy too.  If I didn't know that going in it may have swayed the movie for me while watching 

[Ezen Baklattan]

Just saw a screening. This is gonna have KILLER WOM. It's so fucking good. A perfect blend of horror and comedy, and audiences are going to LOVE the last thirty minutes.

[RobinHood26]

Gonna open to 28-30M  

[Sam]

Really excited for this. 

 

So is this basically Jordan Peele directorial debut?

 

If so, base on the early reactions here, that's one hell of a way to make your debut.

Several years back in 2011, I had a conversation with my dad about the portrayal of Black people in horror movies. We complained how either they were the first to die or nonexistent in the film. We were both very sick and tired of seeing the same cliche over and over again. He even tried to think of his own version of a horror movie starring African-Americans. We just ended the conversation in the hope a director would come along and make a legit horror flick that both perfectly portrayed the actions of African-Americans without any stereotypes with the characters and come off as a good movie. We had to accept the fact that, that movie was never going to happen for we watched theatrical parodies from Marlon Wayans as a diversion. 

UNTIL NOW!

Get Out is a film that simply answers the question, “how would black people react in a horror film type of situation.” If you think this is the horror version of the 1967 Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, it is much more than that. The premise is a blend of that and the 1975 film The Stepford Wives while putting a modern spin on it.

It's weird how horror movies are kind of known to marginalize black characters heavily since one of the most significant early horror movies that revolutionized the genre had a black main character with "Night of the Living Dead" 

 

Anyway I loved Split and I'll definitely love this i think. Looks like the perfect movie to go see with a group of friends lol. This year has been good for horror films. Hopefully this does well at the BO.

A 4x multiplier for a horror film? No way
