Why Are Get Out and Hereditary Considered Generational Films?

Few films have redefined their genre as profoundly as Jordan Peele’s Get Out. This psychological horror-thriller about a young Black man who discovers that his white girlfriend’s family transplants white consciousness into Black bodies using hypnosis and neurosurgery was released at a time when racial tensions were heightened. It sparked widespread cultural discussions and gave horror a renewed platform for meaningful dialogue.

While neither possessing the cultural status nor box office records of Get Out, Hereditary is no less a genre-defying film. It’s a psychological horror about a grieving family uncovering dark ancestral secrets, as inherited trauma and supernatural forces unravel their lives in terrifying and emotionally devastating ways. Prestige horror and family trauma-horrors weren’t pronounced pre-Hereditary. Since then, films like Speak No Evil and Run Rabbit Run drew noticeable influences from Hereditary.

Get Out’s Box Office Still Stands Strong Among R-Rated Horror Films

It’s Been Ousted By Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, Though

When Get Out finished its theatrical run in 2017 with $255.5 million ($176 million of which came from North America), it became the biggest debut film in the United States based on an original screenplay, a record previously held by The Blair Witch Project since 1999. Even better, it cost just $4.5 million to produce, meaning that’s its rare 5.3x multiplier produced a net profit of about $124 million. It also became the highest-grossing film by an African-American filmmaker, although that record lived for only two weeks; F. Gary Gray snatched the record from Jordan Peele with The Fate of the Furious. The current record holder is Ryan Coogler with Black Panther.

Get Out‘s remarkably low second weekend drop of -15.4% set a genre benchmark…that is, until Sinners posted an unprecedented -6% second-weekend drop in April 2025. Sinners’ $263 million is now the biggest in the United States for an original horror film. It remains to be seen whether Coogler's film can match the Academy Award nods of Get Out—Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Actor.
