Madea Goes to Jail Tops Weekend Box Office

Filed under: Film Flickers

madeajail.jpg

There were no Academy Award-nominated films in the top three this weekend!

Oscar weekend's box office winner was the Tyler Perry flick, Madea Goes to Jail. It pulled in a very respectable $41.1 million!

According to reports, it was the largest opening weekend gross on the fewest amount of screens ever (2,032) - and the highest grossing weekend opening in Lionsgate history.

Liam Neeson's movie, Taken, is still performing well in the theaters! It came in at #2 with $11.4 million.

It is nearing the $100 million mark. Wow!

Rounding out the top three is Focus Features' Coraline. The Teri Hatcher-voiced flick brought home another $11 million. We're bummed that we didn't have time to see it in 3-D. We hear this past weekend was the last time you could see it in 3-D glory. Boo hoo.

  19. 19

    um, i think i should be a director…apparently people are willing to see anything



  20. 20

    I love his movies, his movies are simple, with a positive message behind them. People who find his movies boring probably like most hollywood films f today that rely on sex, image and getting high profile acts to draw a crowd, its not about talent anymore people want to be shocked, people want to see immoral stuff.

    DON'T FUCK WITH MADEA! THAT CHARACTER IS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN.
    .

    .
    SHE'S A PISTOL PACKING GRANNY WHO DOESN'T PLAY…AND SHE'S NOT AFRAID OF JAIL.



  44. 44

    ((I don't get it?What's the premise here? Big Mouthed, Fat, black Ho breaks the law and goes to jail, you can see all you want of this reality tv on COPS?))



  45. 45

    Re: Andy2.7 – I was wondering how long it would take for someone to say something ignorant. You can call Tyler Perry a coon if you like, but what does it say about you when a "coon" is making millions off mediocre movies and TV shows and you apparently can't even afford a decent hair cut?



  46. 46

    if you guys actually WATCHED a tyler perry movie instead of running your mouths and talking shit, i would be more accepting of these opinions.

    but most of you all know damn well you haven't seen a tyler perry movie; you're just making stupid comments. i've seen the movie, and madea actually going to jail is a very small part of the actual plot. it merely adds a bit of comedic elements to the storyline.

    the main plot is about a lawyer that runs into an old friend from his childhood/college, until she dropped out and became a drug-addicted prostitute. he tries to change her life for the better, but his superficial "fiance/partner in the law firm" suspects that there is something more between her husband & the prostitute.

    p.s. tyler perry makes more in a week than most of you do in a year, bitches.



  47. 47

    movies like this make people in the world more retarded i wouldent even waste my time on watching this



  48. 48

    Re: LaDiva delivers KO fatalities – LOL WTF? I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT YOU.. I SAID " BYE WHORE, MAKE SURE YOU WASH IT"

    Re: JENNY FROM THE BLOCK – Sure, right after you eat it…. Fucking retardada…

    Why does this guy have to have his name in the beginning of every single thing he makes? It annoys me so badly that I will never view anything from him.
    "Tyler Perry's I have a big, fat, egotistical head" Coming soon!
