Get Out (2017)

Get Out (2017) made history as Jordan Peele's debut, winning the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and grossing $255 million worldwide on a mere $4.5 million budget—a 56-to-1 return ratio that outperforms #6 Rosemary's Baby's 8-to-1 return. It exposes liberal racism through horror, becoming the fastest horror film to reach $100 million domestically and establishing Peele as prestige horror's defining voice for a new generation.
