Box Office: Jordan Peele`s `Us` stuns with $70 million opening weekend
(Reuters Entertainment)

`Us,` the second directorial effort from Jordan Peele, pulled off a stunning debut, generating $70 million from 3,741 North American locations. That haul is enough to land it the second-best opening weekend of the year behind just Disney`s `Captain Marvel` ($153 million). The psychological thriller about a family confronted by a band of doppelgangers nearly doubled projections, which estimated a three-day total in the $38 million to $45 million range.
