13 Hysterical Tweets From People Who Saw 'Get Out' This Weekend

The film smashed at the box office.

Jordan Peele just made his directorial debut with his highly anticipated thriller, Get Out, and judging from the drones of viewers on opening weekend, the microbudget film was a crowd pleaser.

According to Variety, the conceptual horror movie, which cost $4.5 million to make, garnered a whopping $30.5 million during opening weekend.

On top of its thumbs up from the public, the movie got a rare 100 percent approval rating from critics on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.

The exit polls at the film, in terms of race, also seemed almost even as African-Americans comprised approximately 39 percent of the opening weekend audiences, followed by 36 percent of Caucasians; 49 percent of the total audience was under the age of 25.

Proving just how much of a hit the film was, take a look at a few Twitter reactions, below:
