'Candyman' director Nia DaCosta makes box office history
Candyman" director Nia DaCosta made history this weekend when her film took the No. 1 spot at the box office, grossing $22.3 million in its opening weekend.
The horror flick is a big milestone, both for the 31-year-old filmmaker and the industry: She's the first black female director to top the box-office chart.
"Candyman" is a remake of the 1992 horror classic of the same name. Co-written by DaCosta, Oscar winner Jordan Peele and Win Rosenfeld, the plot follows Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as an artist who moves into the first film's gentrified Cabrini-Green neighborhood with his girlfriend.
