To call Get Out – the feature directing debut of former Key & Peele star Jordan Peele – a big success would be an understatement.
Interestingly enough though, Get Out was not always slated to end Chris’ ordeal in such a cathartic fashion.
Peele says that this darker ending was influenced by the American racial climate back when he began writing Get Out, near the beginning of the Obama administration.
With a current box office total of $46.2 million on a budget of only $4.5 million, Get Out is 2017’s second runaway hit for prolific horror producer Blumhouse, following M. Night Shyamalan’s Split.
