Number One
Posted by Bossip Staff
Jill Scott, Janet Jackson, and Tyler Perry all have good reason to be smiling. Why Did I Get Married? debuted this weekend bringing in $21.5 million killing all it’s competitors in the box office with “The Game Plan” starring The Rock coming in second with $11.5 million.
This may be a sign for Janet to give it up on the music thing, and start rolling with Tyler Perry on the acting front.

Congrats to them!
according to the news, they said that Tyler Perry already had a fan base to add to regular movie goers. lol
its funny how his movie bumped those other hyped up movies. Blacks run the entertainment buisness. we shut down music charts, and movie charts.
i wonder if there is a dance chart? lmao
I LOVED THIS MOVIE, CAN’T WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT ON DVD….ANGELA WAS A TRIP…..TYLER PERRY DID HIS THING
i seen this movie and it was good!!! the play was great i knew da movie would be good..
it was number#1 and it didn’t even play on that many screens….
I’m glad they are on top!
Janet take some acting lessons cause you put me to sleep..and what was up with the ponytail throughout the movie?
It is an excellent movie and a refreshing change from the usual ‘black’ movies that give us a bad name – (ie- Norbit, Whose your caddy, etc).
Also, I noticed a nice crowd of white folk in the seats as well…
What do you mean rolling with Tyler? Like she needs to do a bunch of Tyler films? I don’t think so. She is not that great an actress anyway. The movie was very good though.
Yay. Wow. Go Dwayne and Tyler. The Rock can get it any time.
Janet is looking bulimic. Fast weight drop and puffy face? Rene Zellwegger written all over this. Eating issues are truly life long.
DROCK….TRACYCEE….AHEM WHERE IS YALL!!!!
*TAPPING FOOT*
*LOOKING AT WATCH*
You know you gotta send out an APB for my *****!
Tyler Perry has the prettiest lips.
that is all.
I know someone’s gonna say he’s geigh, I’m just stating that his lips are nice.
This movie was great, I saw it Friday night and Sunday. Congrats to them all.
The movie was so good! Angela was my favorite character!!!!! Tyler Perry did his thing, big ups to him and the rest of the cast!
Traycee,
wyclef 2…get there….lol
Good movie, blacks need to shut up during movies. There was an argument during the opening credits at the theater I went to.
Loved the movie sooooo much…Didn’t really like the play, but the movie did it for me.Great choice of actors and story line! He’s a genius.
The movie was wonderful I think the whole cast was great job Janet,Jill Scott,Tasha Smith,Sharon Leal
did soooooo Good I loved it!! tyler was acting too..lol
daria shut the hell up.. she is no where bulimic.. IT’s called eating right and working dumb*****.. some of yall just love to hate on janet for no reason.. IT’s a damn shame..
This was a great movie!!!! “Angela” was a trip…she was the BEST part of the movie.
I like Tyler Perrry just because….he’s not the
“Wayans”; the Wayans keep putting out garbage that are just plain racially humiliating…and too many people in the community support them.
Yes, I have to agree that the movie was great! I loved “Angela”! She kept it real! The characters reminded me of people that I know personally; especially the chick who insisted on being with the men! Reminded me of this one woman who insisted on being in men’s conversation, who had the likes for MY HUSBAND! I put her ***** in her place, though! LOL!
I loved loved loved the movie, Janet’s acting was ***** poor
This movie was so good! Definately Tyler Perry’s best work. I loved the entire cast (and the fur coats!)
Great movie… one of his best yet… I hope he keeps putting out movies like this.. T Perry is killing it right now.
Angela was raw! Loved the movie! She stole the show. Jill was awesome!!!!! Wonder if she pulled from her real life to get emotion on the screen (if the timing was right?)
Janet needs to roll with some acting cl*****es, after all these years she still is just ok.
The movie was good and Angela, Tasha Smith’s character stole the show.
LOVED IT. KUDOS TYLER PERRY.
LOVED the movie…I thought it was a great showcase for all of the actors on it.
Even Michael Jai White surprised me with his acting chops! He was pretty good.
I’mma need to see it again b/c stupid black folks in the audience kept getting into arguments, talking back to the screen, answering cell phones and putting folks on speakerphone throughout the movie made me miss a few things….smh
Thank ya’ll for helpin to support the black base.
Hey!!!!! black people, supporting eachotheris one thing we can do! congrats to them all!
The movie was wonderful….was written and the storyline was very believable. Despite what everyone was saying..I think Janet’s acting was fine…Her character was a relationship therapist and her lack of emotion in a lot of the scenes came from that. But the scene with her and Malik Yoba in the kitchen about their son showed her ability to act.
@Dr. Heather: I know what you mean. Folks were screaming and cheering and I couldn’t hear, either! I have to admit that I was cheering when Jill Scott hit her husband across the head with that wine bottle, though! He deserved it!
HANDS DOWN THA BEST MOVIE OF THA YEAR!!!!…….THANK U TYLER PERRY!!!
I MUST SAY I NEVER SEEN SOOO MANY PEOPLE WAITING ON A MOVIE IN MY LIFE. ALL SHOWS WERE SOLD OUT BEFOR 7 PM, U HAD TO GET THERE LIKE 2 AND HALF HOURS EARLY FOR UR SHOW. IN NEW ORLEANS WE HAD TO START LINES WAY BEFORE THA MOVIE WAS SCHEDULED TO START!!! I NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE!!!
I AGREE WITH BOSSIP… JANET NEED TO ROLL WITH DUDE AND JUST ACT CAUSE HER “MUSIC” IS NOT WORKING OUT….. AT ALL!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
justme
Hey!!!!! black people, supporting eachotheris one thing we can do! congrats to them all!

Exactly. We need this times a million in every aspect of black life.
Happy to see they made # 1. I wanted to see it but instead I watched “We own the night”, shame I know. lol
that’s great news. do yo thang tyler!
Fantastic movie. And did anyone notice that the words “*****” and “*****” were not mentioned? How often does that happen these days in movies with majority Black casts? Good job.
we had a great time seeing this movie…very good job to all involved…
yeah Janet…never one of my favorites in movies….
Why the trifling chic in the movie had to have MY name???? Other than that it was a good movie. That “he got it from Walter” line was FUNNEEEE! Why did everybody in the theatre start clapping when Malik explained the 80% 20% rule…LOL I can think of at least five other actresses who could have played Janets role WELL.
nice job !! my full gallery! http://www.mactanque.com/
The movie was hilarious and everyone was great, but Tasha Smith was really a scene stealer, however i do think Tyler has room to improve, some of the dialouge was stiff (everyone announcing their professions “i’m a doctor!” “i’m a lawyer!”) and Tyler’s films often lack subtlety and don’t have those quieter scenes where things are communicated without 10 minutes of meladramatic dialouge, however i still enjoyed the film…
The movie was great. Tyler Perry did an exceptional job portraying African-Americans in a positive light. Janet Jackson was off the chain, did not know she had that in her. Great actress as well as a entertainer. Janet need to do more movies. Jill Scott…WOW! 1 of her scenes was a tear jerker..Excellent! Tasha Smith was just hilarious. The woman is a comedian. All the cast members did an exceptional job. Looking forward to seeing this movie over again. Two thumbs up!!!
I don’t think anyone meant to criticize Janet when they stated she appears bulimic. She does look about 30 pounds heavier in this movie – the result of a lot of yo-yo dieting, hence bulimia.
Yes Tyler is talented and yes he is Gay…so why does he insist on trying to always talk about some “imaginary girlfriend” and why is he on every picture with Janet trying to push and pull up on her by grabbing on her and trying to pull her close to him like he likes women.
Great movie, must see..
Great movie, must see..
Oh…My…GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I sat through this movie….TWICE!!!!!!!! It was really good. Tyler Perry is just…..OMG, I love him!
he-he!
OK. Ima calm down and hit this up later. In the meantime, if ANTE BOTY says something about my man, Ima…ima…whew Lawd..give me the scrunth!!! Lol!
BTW—
Shout out to the morning/afternoon crew!
That movie was really good. I LOVE the 80-20 rule.
Excellent! **tents fingers like Mr. Burns**
Go ‘head tyler.. Do yo’ thang baby.. Show ‘em what ya got!!!
I loved this move. I was dying laughing.
I know this is not P.C. to say, but I really hope Tyler Perry doesn’t let white folks take this. Y’all know every time black people have something entertaining and fresh white America has to get their hands in it. I love that this gives a fresh alternative to how we are usually portrayed. so the minute he starts including white characters I’m thru. Before anyone starts, I enjoy movies with all-white casts as well. I am just tired of the forced integration of black entertainment.
DAMMMIT! OKAY! I’LL GO SEE THE MOVIE!
The movie was very good, so it should be number 1! Angela the best part in the movie! Hope to see Tasha Smith in more movies. Oh and Janet did a GREAT job!
The movie was incredible…I was very impressed with Janet’s performance.
ok, i scrolled through this whole thing and I cannot believe no one mentioned Troy the sherriff. He is fi-yun. Yes, the movie was off da hook, excellent writing, excellent directing.
October has been a great month for black films. I don’t know if anyone noticed. The Rock’s film, The Game Plan, was number #1 for 2 weeks and now Tyler’s movie is number #1. Why Did I Get Married was a great movie. I think Janet has improved a lot especially the kitchen scene that brought a tear to his eye. Jill Scott was the scene stealer. Her performance is Oscar worthy.
Now Troy is 1 chocolate d!ck I would to love ride on. Unlike some triks that tweak hair off of famous supestars’s (BLEEP).
Yes Lawd, Troy is definitely FINE!!!!
Janet actually did better than I thought she would. But then again I was expecting a lot worse from her. Her character was suppose to be the voice of reason, so she was suppose to come across as reserved. She did her job. Jill’s character was going through a lot of drama, so she got the most emotional scenes. I personally think everybody played their parts well. But Janet is going to take the most criticism regardless. Folks was waiting to bash.
The movie was great. Jill did a really job, can’t say the same for Janet-she never really was a great actress. It’s interesting that people didn’t try to compare Jill’s performance to Janet, like they did Jennifer Hudson to Beyonce in Dreamgirls. That just goes to show the amount of hate on Bey. Anyway, the movies was good watched it twice. I’m glad Tyler Perry is doing his thing.

Its interesting that you mention ppl hating on Bee, yet you just bashed Janet in your post! Especially since Janet is probably a better actress than Beyonce. And for the record, niether Janet or Beyonce are on Angela B*****et or Alfre Woodards level. But out of the two, Janet is a stronger actress. The reason people hate on Bee is because homegirl is overexposed and needs to take a 2 year break. if she would let folks miss her for a while she would’nt get hated on so much.
I co-sign with everyone that the movie was great!
It was refreshing to see a “deep” movie and storyline ..not some silly dancing, rapping, gang-banging, black, flick!
Yes – ANGELA stole the show! She always plays that “type” of character … but it is so believable.
AND can I just say that them chicks were rockin some BAD ***** furs and handbags in the movie!!
Go Tyler Perry. He is putting out quality, first Daddy’s Little Girls now this flick. I like him because he started from the bottom and made his way to the top. He wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth like most producers and actors. And he has been on Oprah two or three times.
I thought the movie was OUTSTANDING. I felt this was Tyler Perry’s finest. The cast was great and I believed each person truly put their heart and soul into their character. I’ve seen negative comments about Janet Jackson but she played the ‘character’…..Tyler Perry had complete control over this film….when I found out it was the number#1 in the box office, I felt proud. Let’s be supportive and stop being so negative and ‘knit-picking’ everything apart. The movie was OUTSTANDING.
As far as u feeling Bey is overexposed has nothing to do with the hate she recieved during dreamgirls. I was just stating that its interesting that they didn’t do the same type of comparison with Jill and Janet. Plus Janet has never been a good actress. You can go back to all the movies she has done, she never was good. But I don’t hate Janet. In my opinion her role was not that good in the movie and other people said it too, just stating the obvious that she hasn’t received the critisism that Bey received going up against another black female R&B artist in a movie. Which means that most people just be hating on Bey hard. But thats my opinion. They used Janet to help sell the movie when Jill’s role was the main role, just like they did with dreamgirls.
Loved the movie! & the cast as well. A definite buy when it comes out on DVD. I thought Jill Scott did a very good job considering she is a new comer to the big screen. Much Respect for Tyler Perry for his talent to produce, write, direct, and act in this movie.
“I don’t think anyone meant to criticize Janet when they stated she appears bulimic. She does look about 30 pounds heavier in this movie – the result of a lot of yo-yo dieting, hence bulimia.”
Your telling me that janet was 30lbs heavier in the movie? What movie were you watching?
stop the hate chick,, it’s not a good look.
This is must watch movie the plot the story line is well written….I think couples especially married couples should go out and see this…..I am so happy it is number one…Cause it was gettin such bad reviews in toronto one of the critics even had the nerve to say oh this movie mentioned the word god too many times…Well look how things worked out its number one
I love to see you coloreds fight. It so ennertaining.
@Redneck…What’s entertaining is your lack of spelling and grammar.
@DCGal, even if Tyler Perry is gay, which I really think he isin’t, but even if he is…he can still appreciate a beautiful woman like Janet, and judging by the picutres, Janet seemed to be more than happy with the pulls tugs, and hugs..LOL…they both seem very affectionate, and both beautiful people…and gay or not, he’s so talented and extremely sexy..congrats to Janet, Tyler, and the rest of the cast….I’m so proud of them, and the wonderful movie..
And..Im sorry, but they look wonderful together, much better than her and Jermaine Dupri…little troll…
And one more thing…people, stop hatin on Janet, she was absolutely wonderful in the movie, she played the part that was given to her and she played it extremely well, during the kitchen scene, there was not a dry eye in the place, including mine…people just criticize Janet because they can, really for no other reason,because of envy, people will never give that girl the respect she deserves…. the whole cast including Tyler did an exceptional job….
Keep doing your thing Tyler. And yes… I am in FULL agreement w/Bossip’s comments about Miss Jackson. She’s a pretty good actress, and should leave the singing and dancing alone. I also saw The Tyler Perry show on BET last night. FINALLY BET is doing QUALITY programming. Maybe they’ll catch up with TV One one day!!!
