00:00A historic milestone has been reached by writer-director Nia DaCosta.
00:05She is the first black female director to have a film debut in the number one spot in the U.S. box office with Candyman.
00:12She co-wrote the sequel to the original 1992 horror film with Jordan Peele,
00:17casting all black leads and addressing elements of racism throughout the film.
00:21The movie is also the second highest grossing three-day opening for a black female director right behind Ava DuVernay for A Wrinkle in Time.
00:29Candyman is currently in theaters.
00:31I saw a tweet that was really funny about Candyman, and it's true.
00:36It's like Candyman is a reasonable person.
00:40Just don't say his name, and he'll stay out of your life.
00:42It's as simple as that.
00:43You've got to say it five times in front of a mirror.
00:46Otherwise, he'll leave you the F alone.
00:48He's just minding his own business.
00:49Just being all Candyman.
00:51Yeah.
00:51And then you say his name, and then, all right, now I got to.
00:54No, you want to, man.
00:56But why does that bother him so much?
00:57I don't know.
00:58I don't know.
00:59Well, he's got issues.
00:59I mean, he's not innocent.
01:00He says, keep my name out your mouth, is what he says.
01:04That's basically it, man.
01:05So, but if I were to say your name five times, you wouldn't come and kill me.
01:09Well, it depends on how you say it.
01:09He would give you a kiss on the forehead.
01:11Yeah.
01:11Right.
01:12Go ahead.
01:13Go ahead.
01:13Say my name five times.
01:14Casey boy, Casey boy, Casey boy, Casey boy, Casey boy, Casey boy.
01:17I think I said five times.
01:18I just got a kiss on my forehead.
01:21That was nice.
01:22Say my name five times.
01:24It's a different kind of thing.
01:25That would be the worst horror movie ever.
01:26It's just not scary.
01:29It's a little creepy, I guess.
01:30I said this guy's name in the bathroom mirror, and he came out and kissed my forehead.
01:34I don't understand.
01:35I was sitting here minding my own business.
01:40I did it.
01:41I did it.
01:42I went and did it.
01:43Keep my name out your mouth.
01:46Well, that kind of made my day.
01:48You know, it honestly did.
01:50So, thanks, pal.
01:50I appreciate that.
01:51I was just relaying the legend.
