Jordan Peele Becomes The First African-American Writer & Director With A $100 Million Movie Debut!

Over the weekend, “Get Out” director Jordan Peele quietly made history when he became the first African-American writer-director to earn $100 million with his debut movie. Not only did Peele, who produced as well as wrote and directed “Get Out,” achieve the milestone with a $4 million budget and a largely unknown cast, he set a new studio record for Blumhouse in the process. “Get Out” only needed 16 days for its domestic cume to pass the nine-digit mark. That breaks the record set by Blumhouse’s other 2017 hit, “Split,” which reached $100 million in 19 days. Posted By Persist
