Weekend Box Office Wrap Up

October 15th, 2007 · No Comments

With 3 major studio films opening in theatres this weekend it was a tough fight for the number one spot- but as usual, Tyler Perry comes out on top. For those of you who don’t know, Tyler Perry is an actor/director that has also written and produced mega hits like Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Madea’s Family Reunion, and the TV show House of Payne. Anyways… Tyler has what Hollywood calls “the urban market” by the balls. All of his films are wildly successful, and this weekend was no exception. His newest film Why Did I get Married? grossed $21.5 million, beating out last’s weeks champ The Gameplan ($11.5 mil) and newcomers Michael Clayton and We Own the Night which both grossed $11 million respectively.

And finally hitting theatres this Friday is the much anticipated graphic novel-turned-movie 30 Days of Night which stars Josh Hartnett, Ben Foster and Melissa George.  The trailer looks bad-ass, and if its anything close to the comic that Steve Niles wrote, then i’m sure it will be very entertaining. Not to mention Sam Raimi and Ghosthouse Pictures is producing it, so you know they didn’t spare a dime. So if anyone sees it before I do, please drop me a comment with your review. But in the meantime, check out this photo of Josh Hartnett that Yu Tsai shot for the recent Flaunt Cover & editorial.
