Apr 1 2008 '21' Wins Weekend, in the Same Way One Might Win at Blackjack
1. 21 - $24.1 million, at least $240 of which came from repeat viewings by one former MIT nerd trying to come to terms with his being portrayed by Kate Bosworth.
2. Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! - A $17.7 million weekend wasn't enough to beat 21, but at least its toys are still selling better than the Ante Uppin', Sewer Swimmin' Kevin Spacey action figure
3. Superhero Movie - $9.5 million! Get it? It's a parody of how much more Spider-Man made.
4. Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns - Tyler Perry's $7.5 million.
5. Drillbit Taylor - $5.7 million, mined directly from the shallow quarry of Owen Wilson's dwindling acting credibility.

Mar 24 2008 'Horton' Makes a Bunch of Money This Last Weekend
1. Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! - $25.1 million, proving Dr. Seuss still has marginally better endorsement credentials than Tyler Perry.
2. Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns - After falling short of the lead with a $20 million opening, T.P. will hopefully return to what he does best: old drag queen morality tales.
3. Shutter - A $10.7 million weekend shows there's still a surprising number of people not yet convinced that Asia is full of young, pale ghosts. Show me one more time, Hollywood!
4. Drillbit Taylor - $10.2 million seems like a paltry number for how much phoned-in wackiness Owen Wilson surely provided. Did audiences really not want to see more half-hearted kicking?
5. 10,000 B.C. - $8.7 million--a number which, if it's anything like the movie, could vary sporadically in the interest of awesomeness.

Jan 31 2008 Tyler Perry's 'Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns' Teaser Poster
Tyler Perry gives us a rare glimpse into his complex creative process, in which, at the last minute, he deliberately shoves Madea into something already full of other needless shit. And, hey, it's funny how this other guy dresses like a psychotic! I smell the next Madea!
Question: How long until people start using "Meet the Browns" as a euphemism for using the bathroom? And was that the intention?

Jan 23 2008 Tyler Perry's Trailer to 'Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns'
As you watch Tyler Perry's trailer to Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (and why wouldn't you?), you're likely to find yourself near panic around the one-minute mark. Why, you will beg, am I nearly halfway through this trailer and have yet to see Tyler Perry dressed as an overweight elderly woman? Does he think a former Laker and the old lady from Ladykillers can collectively replace the screen icon that is Madea? Have Big Momma's House, Big Momma's House 2, The Nutty Professor, The Nutty Professor 2, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, and Madea's Family Reunion finally over-saturated the market with obesity in drag?
I don't want to ruin it for you, but let's just say Perry makes us wait for our treat, and that the treat is an old, large woman providing out-of-place comic relief.
Kyle is thanked for sharing this.
