Us was a huge hit this year, grossing over $250 million worldwide, but don’t count on the film’s star Lupita Nyong’o to make a sequel.

The 36-year-old Oscar-winning actress is getting tons of awards buzz for her performance and she reacted to the possibility of a sequel at Deadline‘s Contenders event.

“No thanks. Red is dead,” Lupita responded. She said she is not interested in reprising her duel roles as it was “very very very challenging.”

“I had to hold down both sides of the argument,” she said. “I had to be the offender and the offended. It was about understanding the emotional landscape of each character but also having a very strict discipline to play both physically and mentally.”

The new horror film Us surpassed expectations to debut with a massive $70.3 million at the domestic box office this weekend!

The film broke the record for biggest opening weekend for an original horror movie and it has the third best horror opening of all time, behind the remake of It ($123.4 million) and 2018′s Halloween ($76.2 million).

Jordan Peele‘s previous movie Get Out grossed $33.4 million during its opening weekend and went on to make $176 million total in North America.

Last weekend’s number one movie, Captain Marvel, was bumped down to second place with a third weekend total of $35 million, according to THR.

Rounding out the top five were the animated film Wonder Park with $9 million, Five Feet Apart with $8.5 million, and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World with $6.5 million.
