I Can Do Bad All By Myself
Tyler Perry can do no wrong at the American box office as his new movie I Can Do Bad All By Myself has opened at number one.
Singer Mary J. Blige and Oscar nominated actress Taraji P. Henson are just two of the cast list in Perry's latest movie, which grossed just over $24 million this weekend.
When Madea, America's favourite pistol-packing grandma, catches sixteen-year-old Jennifer and her two younger brothers looting her home, she decides to take matters into her own hands and delivers the young delinquents to the only relative they have: their aunt April.
A heavy-drinking nightclub singer who lives off of Raymond, her married boyfriend, April wants nothing to do with the kids.
But her attitude begins to change when Sandino, a handsome Mexican immigrant looking for work, moves into April’s basement room. Making amends for his own troubled past, Sandino challenges April to open her heart.
There was another new entry at number two in the form of 9, an animated picture that's produced by maverick filmmaker Tim Burton.
Inglourious Basterds dropped just one place from two to three and there was also a one place drop for All About Steve at four.
Rounding off the top five was last week's number one The Final Destination, which has fallen four places.
There were two more new entries inside the top ten this week as horror Sorority Row and thriller Whiteout opened at six and seven respectably.
This week's biggest faller was Gerard Butler's latest movie Gamer which fell six places from four to ten.
