<i>Get Out</i> tops US Box Office on opening weekend - watch the full trailer here

The directorial debut by comedian Jordan Peele, Get Out is a satirical horror which shines a spotlight on racism in America.

Get Out was filmed on a tight budget but opened to critical acclaim when it was screened to critics at the Sundance Festival back in January, going on to gain an approval rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The film follows an interracial couple who visit the mysterious estate of the woman's parents. It sees English actor Daniel Kaluuya in his first major lead role.

Get Out knocked The Lego Batman Movie into second place this week, bringing in an unprecedented $30.5 million (£24.4 million) in its opening weekend.

Get Out will get its Irish release on March 17. Watch the trailer here:
