The people, NOT the critics, have spoken! 'Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?' is the number one film at the box office, having grossed a little over $21 million dollars. Most box office analysts had predicted that the film would be number one, but until Friday's tally came in, they had the film grossing anywhere from $12 to $15 million. Granted, his last film, 'Daddy's Little Girls,' opened up at $11 million, but with star power added in this film with Janet Jackson and Jill Scott, as well as Perry acting in the film, which he didn't do in the last one, success was guaranteed.
Judging by some of the reports I've been reading, everyone seems to agree that this is his best film to date and that they found the film enjoyable and something they can probably compare their lives with.
Coming in a distant second, but still doing well at the box office was 'The Game Plan' with The Rock. That film grossed half of 'WDIGM''s take with about $11 million. So far, the family-friendly film has taken in close to $60 million. With less kids films out in theaters now, the film was destined to be a hit, especially with parents eager to take the tots outside for some air.
With a slew of new movies opening up this week, including Halle Berry's 'Things We Lost in the Fire,' Perry faces the task of keeping his #1 status, but if folks who loved the film spread the word, all good things will come for the film.
