Tarantino and Peele: What do these two filmmakers have in common?
The recently released film is largely fictional, although it does intertwine real people into the story and uses the Charles Manson murders as a backdrop.
Jordan Peel's horror movie Us is the only other original film so far this year to have made more than $100m.
All the other $100m films are sequels, spin-offs or franchises.
They include Avengers: Endgame, which is this year's highest grossing film at the North American box office so far, having made nearly $858m (£711m) to date.
Disney's Lion King remake is in second spot with $473m (£392m).
The top five is rounded out by Captain Marvel, Toy Story 4 and Spider-Man: Far From Home.
It was a similar pattern at the UK and Ireland box office last year.
Sequels, spin-offs and franchises dominated, with only two stand-alone films making the top 10.
Avengers: Infinity War topped the chart with takings of £70.8m.
Second and third spot went to Abba musical Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (£65.5m) and Incredibles 2 (£56.2m).
The only two stand-alone films to make the grade were Peter Rabbit (£41.1m) and Bohemian Rhapsody (£52m).
The former was based on the stories of Beatrix Potter, while the latter is an Oscar-winning biopic about the career of rock group Queen.
