The people, NOT the critics, have spoken! 'Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?' is the number one film at the box office, having grossed a little over $21 million dollars. Most box office analysts had predicted that the film would be number one, but until Friday's tally came in, they had the film grossing anywhere from $12 to $15 million. Granted, his last film, 'Daddy's Little Girls,' opened up at $11 million, but with star power added in this film with Janet Jackson and Jill Scott, as well as Perry acting in the film, which he didn't do in the last one, success was guaranteed.
Judging by some of the reports I've been reading, everyone seems to agree that this is his best film to date and that they found the film enjoyable and something they can probably compare their lives with.
Coming in a distant second, but still doing well at the box office was 'The Game Plan' with The Rock. That film grossed half of 'WDIGM''s take with about $11 million. So far, the family-friendly film has taken in close to $60 million. With less kids films out in theaters now, the film was destined to be a hit, especially with parents eager to take the tots outside for some air.
With a slew of new movies opening up this week, including Halle Berry's 'Things We Lost in the Fire,' Perry faces the task of keeping his #1 status, but if folks who loved the film spread the word, all good things will come for the film.

I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY JANET WAS GETTING ALL THE RECOGNITION FOR THIS MOVIE. JILL SCOTT WAS THE STAR OF WHY DID I GET MARRIED. HELL, TASHA SMITH SHOULD'VE GOTTEN MORE REC THAN JANET. I SUPPORT TYLER ALL THE WAY!

It was a wonderful movie. Janet Jackson got top billing, but Jill Scott stole the show, I felt her raw emotion, on screen. By far this is the best Tyler Perry movie.

I saw it twice this weekend, ha ha. This was Janet's best outing on film. I mean the entire cast was great ... Jill, Tyler Tasha, Malik, Sharon, Denise, Michael, Richard Lamann and Tyler of course - they did the damn thing. I came away with no complaints. Good job - proud to be a fan of all involved!

This movie is incredible! And like all his other movies, the situations and relationships in this movie are something that everyone, black or white, can relate to. The cast was incredible, and it was almost too much to handle to sit and look at the men in this movie...lol. It was almost too much fineness!

This movie brings in all to the table; Talent, story, laughter, tears, cheers, beautiful black people and that wonderful feeling of having a great movie experience with family/friends. It has made my list of movies to see over and over again.

This one is A DVD for all family reunions, anniversary parties, b-days, marriage retreats, etc... Tyler outdid himself with this one and the haters can go to sleep cause the people have spoken, they can't tell us how to spend our money. This one can be bootlegged, but I guarantee most of us will want the real DVD. Every couple in this film lined up just right and it was a real feel good movie, that sent you home saying we are either gonna make it better or go our separate ways. KUDOS Tyler
