The man that lives just down the street from me is taking the box office by storm. Tyler Perry’s movie Madea Goes to Jail is tops at the box office! Well maybe he isn’t ”just down the street” but if that street was 40 miles long and you know being in Georgia it would be called Peachtree Street; then Tyler Perry would live down the street from me. I actually live about 40 miles North of the Atlanta, Georgia area where Tyler Perry is from, but his new Madea movie is hot!
There have been other Madea movies over the years and I guess Madea has a fan following. It showed at the box office this past weekend and beat out some really good movies for that top spot. The state of Georgia and everyone associated with Tyler Perry’s new movie should be really proud. Great to see a man living in the Peach State give those big time Hollywood actors, actresses, and filmmakers a run for their money.
Rounding out other movies this past weekend that did very well was the Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience at number 2; Slumdog Millionaire with an impressive showing at number 3 on the list and the movie Taken falling to number 4. All of these movies looking to bounce back this upcoming weekend and see if they can give Madea and Tyler Perry any competition at the box offices. Very nice job Mr. Perry and I guess we haven’t seen our last Madea movie yet!
Movies opening this week are Watchmen, 12, Everlasting Moments, Sherman’s Way and Tokyo!. The movie 12 will be on limited release but it looks like a pretty good movie if 12 is playing in your local theaters this weekend. It may seem a little familar with some and it’s about one juror on the jury stand that tries to convince others that the murder case they are deliberating on is not as it appears. We will see if this one juror is able to get the others to go along with his theory on the murder case. I think this one looks the best for March 6th but it isn’t being released nationwide for some reason. I expect the new movie Watchmen to do very well and some have named it the most anticipated movie for 2009. It is a movie about super heros but before you make plans for the kids to see this movie, keep in mind it is Rated R and isn’t one for the kiddies to see. Warner Brothers should have a great weekend with Watchmen this week and all the new movies will be trying to track down Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail. Enjoy the movies this week and be sure to let me know what you plan to see this weekend.
