Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterJordan Peele’s science-fiction thriller “Nope” landed at the international box office, generating a so-so $6.4 million from 19 territories.The film had the biggest start in the United Kingdom and Ireland with $2.1 million, which ranked below the $2.6 million haul that the opening of Peele’s debut feature “Get Out” amassed in the same territory. In Australia, “Nope” scored $1.2 million, which falls below “Get Out’s” $1.4 million debut in the country.
Meanwhile, France only sold $1.2 million for “Nope,” which is a steep drop from “Get Out,” which opened to $2.7 million in the country.Peele’s past movies, including “Get Out” and “Us,” have made most of their money at the domestic box office — and “Nope” is looking like it won’t be an exception. Already, the movie has amassed $107 million in North America, marking the director’s third feature film (out of three) to cross the $100 million mark.
However, “Nope” hasn’t reached Peele’s debut feature “Get Out” ($176.1 million) and his sophomore effort “Us” ($175 million) in terms of domestic ticket sales. His first two films each collected about $80 million internationally for a $255 million worldwide tally.
Since “Nope” cost $68 million to produce — significantly more than Peele’s past films — Universal needs the filmmaker’s latest mind-bending nightmare to stick around theaters through the end of summer. Also this weekend, Universal brought Idris Elba’s thriller “Beast” to 30 markets, including Mexico, Brazil, the Middle East and Spain, where it generated a lackluster $4.6 million.
