Before seeing the Fantastic Four post I would have said John Singleton was close to Scary Movie. He did 2 Fast 2 Furious which did 236M worldwide.

Fuqua is doing the Mag 7 remake with Denzel and possibly Pratt

 

[Suicide King]

It is kind of crazy and somewhat sad that no one has broken that "record" yet. This either says something about the lack of chances black directors get or the lack of good movies that they do direct.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

your right

330 mil, never heard of tim story before

this... no one will beat fantastic four, it being an action comic blockbuster (in those days)


a black man would have to direct black panther or an avengers or some shyt



EDIT: actually this dude Tim Story has the top 2 slots!!!

fantastic 4 part 1 made 330 million

fantastic 4 part 2 made 290 million

14 years strong with the crown...

157mil
228mil adjusted for inflation

the heavily marketed and hyped "the butler" couldn't muster enough to top it

Well if you're going to play the inflation card, Stir Crazy got Scary Movie beat. It's adjusted to over 305 million and was directed by Sidney Poitier.

One of the first black directed comedies to make over 100 million for its time. So by comparison...

 

[Optimus Prime]

Marvel will probably get a black director for BP and they will get the title
