‘Get Out’ is Back in Theaters for Limited Return to the Sunken Place
As great as horror was in 2017, it still blew our minds last week when the Academy Awards nominations were announced… and included a whole lot of genre love. Perhaps most notably, Get Out was nominated for Best Picture, with Jordan Peele nominated for Best Director and star Daniel Kaluuya nominated for Best Lead Actor!
Like many nominated films this time of the year, we’re happy to report that Get Out is back in theaters as of this past weekend, taking you back to the Sunken Place on the big screen. The film originally opened on February 24th of last year, so we can more or less consider this a series of one-year anniversary screenings.
Get Out, which became a worldwide sensation last year, grossed $254 million!

Filming is underway in New Jersey on Parker Finn’s remake of Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 psychological horror movie Possession, and Deadline reports that three new faces have joined the cast.
Madeline Brewer (Cam, “You”), Emory Cohen (Sweetheart, Lords of Chaos), and Nicholas Alexander Chavez (“Grotesquerie“) have joined previously announced cast members Margaret Qualley, Callum Turner, Diego Calva, and Paul Dano.
Parker Finn is writing, directing and producing the new take on Possession.
Just how closely Finn’s update will follow the 1981 cult classic remains to be seen, but the original film starred Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill as married couple Anna and Mark in Cold War-era West Berlin whose relationship spirals into a supernatural nightmare. Suspicions of infidelity soon give way to something much more sinister.
Isabelle Adjani’s unforgettable performance, particularly the infamous subway sequence that remains one of horror’s most iconic scenes, helped catapult the 1981 film into cult masterpiece status and remains influential, even as recent as Nell Tiger Free’s turn in The First Omen.
Adjani previously gave the remake, and Qualley’s casting in particular, her blessing.
Producers include Jonathan Fass, Roy Lee, Andrew Childs, and Robert Pattinson. Marc Bienstock will executive produce.
