Jordan Peele’s Nope made a strong showing this weekend at the box office, bringing in another $18.5 million for a 10-day total of $80.5 million, according to Comscore.
After topping the box office last weekend, the horror thriller fell a better-than-expected 58 percent, even though some analysts had predicted it would drop at least 60 percent.
Still, the Universal Pictures release didn’t ring up enough over the past three days to hold on to the top spot at the box office.
