Jordan Peele‘s directorial debut, Get Out made history earlier this year when just three weeks after its release, it made over $100 million domestically, making Peele the first black writer-director to achieve this with a debut movie. The history-making horror gave birth to countless videos and memes, with fans flipping the movies’ ominous warnings and turned them into hilarious sketches on their social media pages, with several going viral.
