That's Massive, Sweetie

wenn5030961.jpg

Her last two albums may have flopped, but at least she has a hit movie on her hands!

And, she can thank Tyler Perry for that.

Janet Jackson stars in the writer/director's new film, Why Did I Get Married?, which opened at #1 in the U.S. box office this past weekend with $21.5 million.

What makes this debut particularly noteworthy is that the film premiered on only 2,011 screens.

Big blockbusters and films that open that big usually show on twice or three times as many screens!

Why Did I Get Married? took in twice as much as the film that came in #2 this past weekend, The Game Plan.

Check out the rest of this past weekend's Top 10….after the jump.

1 Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married $21,500,000
2 The Game Plan $11,506,000
3 Michael Clayton $11,010,000
4 We Own the Night $11,000,000
5 The Heartbreak Kid $7,425,000
6 Elizabeth: The Golden Age $6,183,000
7 The Kingdom $4,566,000
8 Across the Universe $4,000,000
9 Resident Evil: Extinction $2,650,000
10 The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising $2,150,000

      Totally wrong info.
      MOVIES THAT OPEN IN MORE THEN 2000 THEATHERS MAKE AT LEAST 15 MILLION DOLLARS, this movie isn't a hit, this month is one of the weakest for the box office, just look at the rest of movies.

ALSO PERES HER LAST 2 ALBUMS DIDNT BOMB. THEY JUST DIDNT PERFORM AS WELL AS THEY SHOULD HAVE DUE TO POOR PROMOTION AND LITTLE AIRPLAY. HAVING SAID THAT QUEEN JANET STILL OUTSOLD MOST OF TODAYS CORPORATE TRASH THAT CAN BARELY ATTAIN GOLD STATUS. SHE IS AMAZING… CONGRATS JANET… U ARE SPECTACULAR!!!

      JANET IS THE BEST! all her 3 movies debuted at #1! the haters here are just mad because janet's recent success is a slap on their ugly faces. anyway, WDIGM and janet's acting has gotten very good reviews so you guys can keep on hating but nothing you can do can put janet down.

      LMFAO Oh, Perez does it again!!!!!!! :-D Another flattering picture of Ms. Jackson's crowsfeet. hehehe

      I hate Tyler Perry, though. He's just another arrogant celebrity Black man. And his TBS "sitcom" 'House Of Payne' is a bigtime FLOP!!!!!!!! It's also horribly unfunny.

      More bad news for (((major))) dud 'The Heartbreak Kid' starring the ridiculous Ben Stiller w/ female leads almost HALF his age! lol But, c'mon… seriously! A Tyler Perry movie #1 at the B.O.? I think somebody cooked the books here. Tyler Perry is hiiiiiiiiiighly over-rated and conceded.

      white people are so insecure its scary. As soon as another race has any kind of success they find a flaw. We know you have little dicks and no personalites but GOT DAMN we dont give a fuck or complain when your movies go number one its like white people always have to compensate for something when the rest of the world doesnt really give a shit

      Uh, do you math fatty. No movie has ever opened on 6000 (!) screens. Typically 3,000 denotes a wide release. Maybe if you have a huge franchise like Spiderman you get 4,000 but that is certainly the exception to the rule. Do your research fat boy.

      63

      The number 1 and 2 ranked movies really reveal how America wants to see more family themed films. I'm happy that Janet has switched over from music to films and I wish her continued success. Once women reach a certain age (38-onward) fans have a difficult time seeing them bounce around the stage with their young 20-something backup dancers. The public expects singers to mature and move on I guess. It is unfair but true that men can get away with it until they are older.

      Look at all you haters…Hate to see a Black Movie do well!!!! Thats right, it was number 1 and it played on limited screens…If that doesnt show you that Black movies can and will make it, then I dont know what will! This movie played in only THREE different theatres…And I live in a big city where the population of Black people is LARGE! Despite the industry trying to limit this movie, our people STILL came out and supported it.

      P.S. Shout out to Number 56!!!! =)

      So a friend of mine got really high and went to see that pathetic excuse of a movie. She said that even when she was high it was horrible!! Meanwhile, I went to see We Own the Night and it was amazing. I swear to god, Tyler Perry could film himself taking a dump for two hours and black people would still say it was the best film of all time. Michael Clayton and We Own The Night deserved to be one and two, not this shit and the Game Plan. What the hell is happening to cinema?
