Tyer Perry's "Boo! A Madea Halloween" #1

[Spin]

Say what you want about him, but this is pretty impressive. $27.6 million made from 2,260 theaters vs Never Go Back which made $23 million at 3,780 theaters.

In a late October surprise, Tyler Perry's Boo! A Madea Halloween easily scared off Tom Cruise's sequel Jack Reacher: Never Go Back to win the weekend box office race with a stellar $27.6 million from 2,260 North American theaters.

Never Go Back followed at No. 2 with $23 million from 3,780 theaters in what box-office observers describe as a decent start even if it lost to A Madea Halloween, a needed win for Lionsgate and Perry's best showing in six years as a director. The comedy-horror spool originated from a fake Madea movie featured in Chris Rock's Top Five and nabbed an A CinemaScore from audiences.

Perry's film, which also stars Bella Thorne, Diamond White and Cassi Davis, follows Perry's popular Madea character as she spends a haunted Halloween fending off killers, paranormal poltergeists, ghosts, ghouls and zombies while keeping a watchful eye on a group of misbehaving teens.

"it's unique and different for a Halloween film. And there hasn't been a Madea film since December 2013, so I think audiences were ready," said Lionsgate distribution chief David Spitz. He added that A Madea Halloween played to a more diverse audience. The vast majority of the audience for past Madea movies was African-American (80 percent to 90 percent). This time, that number dropped to 60 percent.

My lil one wanted to see this so we went on Saturday. There were some too adult jokes in there for her, didn't realize this was PG13 until after the fact, but this was pretty funny, the worse character in this movie acting wise was the Tyler Perry character(Brian). He also managed to fit in a decent message into the movie

#1 1 movie, Black made, employing black people, making cacs mad, all from a man who gives back big time to our community.

That is Black Excellence friend.

It's a damn Halloween comedy. Of course it's not meant as something thought provoking.

The amazing thing is they only take 2 to 3 weeks at the most to film/produced these movies...

no BOAN would have made cacs mad, this makes them laugh at us.

So it's perfectly okay for cacs to make stupid silly movies, but we can't.

And who the fukk cares what they think?

Some people want to go to movies to be entertained and laugh sometimes. Not everyone wants to see serious shyt (that includes us). As long as he continues to be successful his studio will get the opportunity to do shyt like BOAN too.

Endgame.
