When Jordan Peele’s Get Out was released in early 2017, he was an unlikely prospect to be one of the most influential and successful horror directors currently working.  He had found huge success in sketch comedy, first as an ensemble member of MadTV and as a star of Comedy Central’s smash hit series Key & Peele, but his film resume had been limited to voice roles in movies like Captain Underpants and starring in the Key & Peele vehicle Keanu that, despite the duo’s previous success, barely did better than break even.

And now, according to a report in horror blog Bloody Disgusting, Peele just hit the $100 million mark at the box office for the third time in a row with his third directorial outing, Nope.
