I figure many readers have or will catch Jordan Peele’s “Nope” over the weekend. Getting a B CinemaScore is definitely nothing to brag home about.
Peele’s film is now projected to make around $40-45 million this weekend. Whether you liked it or not, it’s definitely one of the few movies this summer that feels like a major event for cinephiles.
What did you think of this ambitious and vast sci-fi epic? I already chimed in on Wednesday with a mixed, but respectable reaction — now, it’s your turn.
NOTE: Peele has revealed that his first cut of the film was nearly four hours, which, if you have seen the finished product, completely makes sense. There are some major narrative and tonal inconsistencies throughout the theatrical version of “Nope.”
Daniel Kaluuya took a sabbatical from acting back in 2022. There have been many theories as to why, but the important thing is he’s finally back, starring in this fall’s Chris Rock-directed “Misty Green.”
