People were saying Jordan Peele’s film would be at $100 million domestically by now, but it likely won’t even reach that mark by Sunday. Peele’s ambitious sci-fi epic is project to make around $7-8 million this weekend, its third week of release. Peele’s previous films, “Get Out” and “Us,” managed to gross $175 million total each. Also, for the last time, I’m not hating on this film or its filmmaker, I thought Peele’s first two films were one of the best American efforts of their respective years. The fact of the matter is that “Nope,” for all the risk-taking and artful mainstream ambition it has, just didn’t work. It’s a fine-as-it-goes blockbuster, filled with incoherent pacing, that never truly bores you, but doesn’t enthrall you either. Many critics got it wrong by giving this film a pass. It turns out, Peele can do some wrong but I still very much look forward to what he does next. Contribute Hire me
