Tyler Beats Tony
Those Tyler Perry movies are unstoppable. Perry's incredibly popular "Why Did I Get Married?" starring Janet Jackson beat out Tony Gilroy's critically heralded "Michael Clayton" starring George Clooney. Both movies opened Friday.
"'Married,' which Perry also directed and co-wrote, represents his third-biggest film opening, surpassed by the $30 million debut for last year's 'Madea's Family Reunion' and the $21.9 million opening for 2005's 'Diary of a Mad Black Woman.' In February, Perry's 'Daddy's Little Girls' debuted with $11.2 million, so the win with 'Married' represents something of a return to form for the burgeoning crossover star."
Congratulations to Perry!
Here's the top five movies over the weekend:
1. "Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?" -- $21.5M
2. "The Game Plan" -- $11.5M
3. "Michael Clayton" -- $11M
4. "We Own the Night" -- $11M
5. "The Heartbreak Kid" -- $7.4M
