BOX OFFICE - Tyler Perry STILL Rules The World!
Madea Goes To Jail was number one at the box office for a second week in a row.
I didn't research this, but I think this may actually be the very first time that a Tyler Perry movie has been at the top of the charts for consecutive weeks!
It made an additional $16.5 Million, bringing it's 2 week total to close to $65 Million, surpassing Madea's Family Reunion to become Tyler Perry's highest grossing film.
Keep in mind that it's only in its second week of release. Conceivably, we might be on the cusp of TP's first $100 million picture!
Well... likely not, given how sharply box office numbers fell for the film from week 1 to week 2. Recall it broke records last week with a $41 Million payday! It's $16.5 Million total this week is less than 50% of last week's numbers, which is quite revealing! I'd expect another similar drop next week.
So, while it's unlikely that Madea Goes To Jail will see $100 Million in ticket sales, it will get close by the time it reaches the end of its theatrical run.
And to think that his films cost a fraction of what they make; somebody is getting very rich; or some people are getting very rich!
I plan to talk about "Tyler Perry Inc" during tomorrow night's podcast, so do tune in for that!

You're killin' me! I hope you feel guilty about by jumpy eye and increasingly apparent nervous twitch. Por favor!!!
**sigh**
I think that might be my official last blog comment on all things T.P.
Ive been a Tyler Perry fan for 7 years plus, and at each movie me and my family go the FIRST DAY. Tyler is a really good guy that tells stories of EVERYDAY LIFE, whether or not people * not the $64mil people* want to see it, is up to them. I enjoy them. But the most part I enjoy most are 2 things with Tyler Perry.
1. I love to see him get BOX OFFICE numbers sending shock waves through the minds of bloggers, and critics. I LOVE IT.
2.I ask myself are the people who helped racked in $64 million ON LESS SCREENS for Madea Goes To Jail *Crazy* or the people WHO JUST DONT GET IT? * *laughs**
I SAY if you dont understand Tyler, or his movies, or his FAITHFUL FANS. ITS OKAY, ITS OKAY, ITS OKAY, IT REALLY IS OKAY............... JUST MOVE RIGHT ALONG AND GIVE ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YOUR ENERGYY TO SOMETHING YOU DO UNDERSTAND.
As for Tyler's Faithful Fans......... WE ARE HERE TO STAY. OOOOOO just you all wait till THE NEXT MADEA MOVIE.....*LAUGHS AGAIN*
