Tyler Perry's 'Why Did I Get Married' Tops the Box Office Charts



Well everyone, you can call him what you want or even question his sexuality, but the man is raking in the dough - BIG time. Tyler Perry's new movie, Why Did I Get Married, co-starring Janet Jackson & Jill Scott, is a number one box office smash! The film grossed a little over $21 million in its opening weekend. Even the box office analysts hadn't predicted that much! Though by now, such ratings are the norm for Perry. His original box office hit back in 2005, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, raked in $21.9 million, and officially put Perry on the map. Following shortly thereafter in 2006 was an even bigger hit, Madea's Family Reunion, tallying a whopping $30 million at the box office. Earlier this year he released Tyler Perry's Daddy Little Girls, which brought in a mere $11.2 million (bummer). Coincidentally, it was also the first one of his films the actor hadn't appeared in. I guess he really does sell himself! Tyler Perry is also a writer, director, actor and executive producer for the hit TBS comedy, Tyler Perry's House of Payne. Damn Tyler, you might just be the hardest working man in show business. Go girl! I mean, boy... lol.
