The highest-grossing film of the year, Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast, has a much lower ROI than either Split or Get Out.
We all knew Get Out was one of the best success stories of the year, but did you know it is actually, as of now, THE most successful movie to open in 2017?
What’s also interesting is that the second most profitable movie of the year, M. Night Shyamalan’s Split, which has a 610 percent ROI on a global take of $277 million (from a $9 million budget), came from the same production company as Get Out.
Jordan Peele’s sharp study of modern racism disguised as a horror flick is the most profitable movie of the year, with a return on investment of 630 percent.
