Madea Rises Above the October Morass for Tyler Perry’s Sixth #1 Opening. This Weekend at the Box Office.

Well at least one part of this fairly wretched weekend at the box office went according to plan. Tyler Perry donned the makeup, dusted off the body pillows and went back to the well yet again for his sixth #1 opening as “Boo! 2” nabbed a $21.6 million opening, easily holding off all comers thisRead…

Box Office - Boo 2, Only The Brave, Geostorm

Blumhouse’s “Death Day” a Happy $26 Million Surprise, Leaving “Blade Runner 2049” in the Dust. This Weekend at the Box Office.
