For some reason people still go to the theatre to see a Tyler Perry movie. I may be part of the minority but I haven’t been able to laugh at ANY of his films. I honestly don’t get the appeal, but the general audience sure seems to dig them. This is certainly the case with his newest film, Boo 2! A Madea Halloween. The film was able to debut at #1 at the Box Office with $21.7 million. That’s $6 million less than the first films debut, but who cares?
The other premier film was Geostorm, which opened in IMAX and multiple theaters and could only take the 2nd position with $13.3 million. Granted, it looks horrible and despite the great cast; the film had horrid reviews. The rest of the Top Ten are below!
1. Boo 2! A Madea Halloween $21.7 million
2. Geostorm $13.3 million
3. Happy Death Day $9.4 million
4. Blade Runner 2049 $7.2 million
5. Only the Brave $6 million
6. The Foreigner $5.5 million
7. Stephen King’s IT $3.5 million
8. The Snowman $3.4 million
9. American Made $3.2 million
10. Kingsman: The Golden Circle $3 million
Next week, we have the debut of multiple films including: All I See Is You, Jigsaw, Suburbicon, Thank You for Your Service. I’m going to hedge my bets on the SAW sequel as it’s still fitting in the Halloween season; and the other films don’t have nearly the same appeal to me. Will I be right? Find out on the next edition of Weekend Roundup!
