Box Office Breakdown: Tyler Perry Can Win All By Himself
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, FOCUS, Lionsgate, Sony, Warner Bros, Weinstein Company, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Horror, Period, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists,
Leave it to Tyler Perry to take on the horror industry.
The actor/writer/director’s latest film, I Can Do Bad All By Myself, earned $23.4 million over the weekend—enough to stop The Final Destination from taking its third crown in a row. The urban comedy, starring Taraji P. Henson and Mary J. Blige, more than doubled its nearest competitor since opening Friday and gave Perry his third biggest debut to date.
I Can Do Bad also topped Sorority Row, the newest scare flick to enter the scene. Although the movie boasts more recognizable names (Audrina Patridge, Rumer Willis) than Destination, the R-rater barely scraped up $5.1 million for a 6th place finish.

Box Office Breakdown: Another Win for Final Destination
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Miramax, Lionsgate, Paramount, Sony, Warner Bros, Weinstein Company, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Horror, Period, Political, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Box Office, Lists,
Ticket buyers ended their summer vacations by booking The Final Destination. For the 2nd time in a row, the horror entry topped all entries with a 1st place finish. Thanks to the $15.3 million added to the pot, Warner Bros. saw its sequel rise above the $50 million mark during the Labor Day weekend
Inglourious Basterds pulled in another $15 million and narrowly missed another win of its own. The WWII movie has now raked in over $95 million domestically and given Quentin Tarantino the 2nd best gross of his career. (Pulp Fiction is still the champ.)
Meanwhile, Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper joined forces for a 3rd place debut. All About Steve may not have done Proposal or Hangover-esque numbers, but the comedy did walk away with something to brag about. The Fox feature totaled the largest per screen average of any movie in the Top 10.
