SANTA CRUZ (KRON) - Jordan Peele's "Us" debuted over the weekend with $70.3 million in ticket sales, taking over the top spot at the box office from "Captain Marvel."

“Us” stars Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke as vacationing parents whose family is faced with eerie doppelgangers of themselves. 

Primarily based in Santa Cruz, the film shows the city's popular boardwalk as a huge component of the story's plot. 

Many people, from natives to UC Santa Cruz students, took to Twitter to voice their newfound fear of the landmark. 

"i saw the movie 'us' last night and let's just say i'm never going to the santa cruz beach boardwalk at night again," @Ben28x tweeted. 

"Okay, I just saw Us. I'm shook. Never going to Santa Cruz boardwalk again. Thanks, @JordanPeele," @Edwin_D_Rios tweeted. 

"I can never look at santa cruz beach boardwalk the same again," @shilohhcruz tweeted.

"So Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is officially cancelled, and my childhood is ruined thanks to #UsMovie," @Jordi_Rene tweeted. 

"Being a kid that grew up in Santa Cruz where @usmovie was filmed. Just saw it and now I have second thoughts going to the Boardwalk, going to East Cliff Drive, the Santa Cruz Mountains, and finally my porch. #JordanPeeleyougotmethinkin ," Cam Jones tweeted. 

"Watching US in Santa Cruz and having worked at the boardwalk is a whole new level of oh my god! I've never felt more proud to be where I'm from," Elizabeth Gomez tweeted. 

"I live in Santa Cruz, and that actually kinda made the movie even better for me. Seeing all that scary shit happening at the boardwalk, a place I've been to more times than anyone can count, was just surreal," @AceKiddoInReal tweeted. 

"The admission-free Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is open daily!," @tashcoug tweeted along with a still image from the movie. 

Twitter user @wilkentv posted photos showing a "throwback to when we saw them filming 'Us'" at the boardwalk. 

"Us" now has the largest weekend for an original horror movie, surpassing "A Quiet Place," plus the biggest launch for an original R-rated film behind "Ted," according to Variety.
