Get Out is both a critical and commercial success. On Rotten Tomatoes, Get Out has a 99% Fresh certification, tied with Greta Gerwig?s Lady Bird for the highest rated film of 2017, including all other Best Picture nominees. Get Out has also been named the most profitable of any film nominated for an Oscar this year ? with a budget of only $4.5 million, the film made $175.4 million domestically and $252.4 million globally with an approximate rate of return of 5000%.
Despite this, Get Out is far from a front-runner and is seen as an unusual Oscar film: it?s a genre film and directorial debut, it has a relatively low budget, and it was released in February (rather than later in the year to generate award season buzz). The film was not designed with the Academy in mind.
Instead, Get Out is fresh, forward-thinking, and genre-defying. Jordan Peele experimented with his concept of the ?social thriller?, blending the popular and the high-brow to create a film that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. Get Out is shocking and funny, and while it incorporates elements of the supernatural, it?s most chilling in its moments of grim realism.
