German humor rules the chart again. Jordan Peele breaks into the top ten.

Is it possible for Jordan Peele to release a film without setting the internet on fire? Nope. The 43-year-old writer, director, producer and Academy Award Winner’s highly anticipated third film, Nope, premiered with a $44 million debut last Friday, immediately sending social media into chaos over Peele’s motivations.

Jordan Peele, the creator of Nope, is meticulous as a director, delivering a combination of fear, satire, political commentary, and entertainment from his early work on Key & Peele to Get Out to this week's release. He is as fastidious on the red carpet and an example of how to power dress.

While many of the biggest horror films of the past century were made in America, the horror film genre was not actually born in the United States. French director Georges Melies' 1896 short The House of the Devil is often credited as the first ‘horror’ movie.

Ever since his directorial debut with Get Out Jordan Peele has been carving out a unique artistic terrain altering and subverting familiar formulas. With his new film Us, he has made a horror film with a black family as the leads.
