Tyler Perry Takes Over The Box Office
by Dean


Tyler Perry's "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" took the weekend box office with a total of $25 million, which was his third best opening ever behind "Madea Goes to Jail" with $41 million and "Madea's Family Reunion"
with $30 million.

The Lionsgate's film starring his alter ego Madea far outpaced Friday's other three debuts: Summit's horror remake "Sorority Row" ($5.3 million), Warner Bros' Antarctic murder mystery "Whiteout" ($5.1 million) and Roadside Attraction's expansion of documentary "The September Issue"
($1.3 million).

"I Can Do Bad," starring Taraji P. Henson, Gladys Knight, Mary J. Blige and Perry as Madea, took in $8.6 million on Friday, $9.9 million on Saturday and a projected $5.5 million on Sunday, according to Variety. The audience was 80% African-American and 75% over 25 years old.
