Global Box Office Gross and Budget
Get Out earned an estimated $255.4 million worldwide at the box office, with $176 million from the United States and Canada and the remainder from international markets, according to the latest public data from Box Office Mojo box office performance details. The film was produced on a reported budget of $4.5 million, making it one of the most profitable horror films in terms of return on investment.
The movie opened to $33.4 million in its first weekend in the United States and Canada, finishing first at the box office and holding the top spot for three consecutive weeks. Its domestic total of $176 million made it the highest-grossing film directed by Jordan Peele at the time of release, and it remained in the top 10 domestic films for over a month.
Production, Distribution, and Studio Revenue
Universal Pictures distributed Get Out and retained the majority of theatrical revenue after deducting exhibitor shares, marketing costs, and prints and advertising expenses, which typically reduce studio net receipts by 40 to 60 percent of the gross. The film's low budget and high gross meant the studio earned a significant profit from theatrical runs alone, before any home entertainment or streaming income.
Profitability and Financial Impact
Industry estimates place the film's total profit from box office and early home media sales in the hundreds of millions, with some analysts noting that the production cost was recouped within the first week of release. The success of Get Out directly led to Universal Pictures greenlighting additional projects from Jordan Peele and his production company, Monkeypaw Productions, under a multi-year first-look deal.
Streaming and Home Entertainment Revenue
Exact streaming revenue for Get Out is not publicly disclosed, but the film became available on major platforms including Peacock and Amazon Prime Video following its theatrical and home video windows, contributing to ongoing residual income for Universal Pictures and Monkeypaw Productions streaming availability and rights. Home video sales and rentals on platforms such as iTunes, Google Play, and Vudu have added further revenue, though precise figures are not broken out in public financial reports.
In the United States, the film earned additional income from television licensing deals with networks and streaming services, which are typically negotiated as part of broader studio content libraries. These deals are not itemized publicly, but industry tracking firms estimate that a film of Get Out's profile can generate tens of millions in cumulative streaming and TV licensing revenue over its lifetime.
