Tyler Perry’s new film “I Can Do Bad All By Myself” grossed $24 million this weekend at the box office beating out Sorority Row.

The film which debuted at number one this weekend made $24 million at the box office.  The film which stars Taraji P. Henson, Mary J. Blige, and Gladys Knight had the widest release of any Perry directed feature.  Tyler smashed out the other films by a longshot beating out the second runner up Sorority Row by more than $10 million.  Way to go Tyler but half of us still can’t wait to see Why Did I Get Married 2 which is set to have an April release date.

    I haven’t (and won’t) see it but let me guess the plot: Tyler Perry formula

    Evil light woman
    evil dark black man
    noble put upon dark black woman
    noble heroic light man

  • TASTY

    GREAT JOB

  • Man, I just don’t care™

    I did not see it, and I heard mixed reviews.

  • Jay the Real One

    @ Man, I just don’t care™

    I knew it he is nothing if not predictable

  • Whaaaa

    Way to go Perry! That’s cross over money. Good job.

  • Jay the Real One

    @ Nique

    When I see sin and wrong and error sweetheart I must speak. I’m trying to help black folks

  • Jay the Real One

    @ ManUp

    And now they have taken a classic like For Colored Girls and give it to this hack. Hey how about a colored girl director? Gina Prince Blyhtewood would be great. Or Julie Dash. They have talent. Tyler may think he a woman but he not.

    @ Nique

    Beloved I answered early, I haven’t seen it but I accurately deduced the plot line.

  • Kami All Day (Haters give me Promo…..)

    @Man, I just don’t care:

    Not mad, baby. Just in awe of the “retarded-ness” on board.

    I’m convinced that black people are the biggest haters on earth.

  • Jay the Real One

    @ KeepitReal

    Tyler’s white audience is limited most white area theaters don’t even carry his films he’ll tell you that. His screen number is low but volume high. Beyond that quality makes it’s own audience. Tyler is Amos and Andy and we need to move on. White people loved some Amos and Andy too. I will not give him a pass because he’s black.

  • Ram Banga

    and just so you know Tyler didn’t direct Precious….he basically got it distribution. Lee Daniels directed the film.

  • Gmen

    wack

  • Kami All Day (Haters give me Promo…..)

    @Detroiter4Life:

  • Kami All Day (Haters give me Promo…..)

  • Nique

  • Kami All Day (Haters give me Promo…..)

    @GetAClue2:

  • Lady J

    @Man I just don’t care….Stop Hating!!! So happy for Tyler Perry……….Job well done. Just to think only a couple of years ago this man was Homeless……….We all can learn a lesson here about hard work, dedication and never giving up…

  • Lady J

    More Black actors are working because of Tyler Perry……..He deserves a standing ovation!!!

  • http://bossip Pimp 4 a day

    It’s amazing how his fellow members of his race (black people) are tearing him apart and calling him names. What about the fact that he keeps giving black actors jobs? Your fellow black person will be the first to wish you failure. black people hate each other more than white people hate black people. That’s the truth.

  • I HATE THE “N” WORD

    Just proves we are so starved for anything with us in it we will put our money out there for b.s. Sorry I support black people but damn Tyler I need a plot and full story not some through Jesus on everything and call it a wrap!

  • I HATE THE “N” WORD

    “throw”

  • Lady J

    @Man…..as soon as the box office numbers drop; then change the formula

  • Detroiter4Life

    @ Back On My Swag

  • Jay the Real One

    @ Man, I just don’t care™

    What he need to do is hire a damn writer or collabo with someone.

  • Man, I just don’t care™

    @BE

    email me bac!!

  • Jay the Real One

    And let me say this, I hope Tyler improves but I’m not a PG person. I want to see a Scar Face sometimes. I don’t believe in “positive and negative” I believe in “good and bad”. I go to church (when I go) for a message not a film. I love Jay Z and Richard Smallwood.

  • BE

    Here is a man doing great things, from the bottom to the top, from stage plays to own production studio, and you can’t respect that? This is some real willie lynch shit! Is it so hard to support each other, damn. I love you tyler you are a positive role model, a leader and a pioneer. If people aren’t hating and mad at you then you ain’t doing big things!

    “We are going to have to kill Tyler Perry if we want this ignorance to stop spreading to our kids?”

    Drug dealing. Robbing. Stealing. Multiple babies with different daddies…..

    Yes! Let’s just put all of them along with Tyler Perry in a big hole and burn them.

    That’ll teach them, won’t it?

    SMH!!

    I Love all of Tyler Perry work, not to mention that he has employed so many people who other wise had been looked over in the business. Tyler Perry gives young actors and actresses a chance to shine, unlike Hollywood where you have to be a certain weight to be shown on the BIG screen! Thank you Tyler Perry for making this a reality for so many young people.

    Adam Rodriguez not black
