    WTF? Tyler Perry defeating Tom Cruise? In your dreams! Well, no, it happened. Low budget Tyler Perry's BOO! A Madea Halloween is headed to a $27 million weekend debut leaving beaten in the ground Tom Cruise's bigger budgeted & heavily marketed (I am tired of watching that f@#% trailer every 60 seconds everywhere on the net and on tv) Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (apparently moviegoers took the title seriously :lol:) which took a mere $22.8 million. While it is too early to call it a bomb, this is a really low opening for a Tom Cruise action sequel and being beaten by a Tyler Perry comedy that got even worst reviews than his film is very telling. He might or might not bounce back with next year's mega budget Universal Pictures horror/action/adventure The Mummy, but if that one flops, we might be seeing the beginning of the end of Cruise as an A list top box office draw.

    Quija: Origin of Evil will end with $14 million for the weekend which is a bit lower than the first film's $19 million opening.

    Keeping Up with the Joneses fell flat on its face bombing badly with $5.5-$6 million.

    I'm all about supporting black business, but how I feel about Tyler Perry is that he's a coon and a closet faggot and his movies are modern blaxploitation flicks that are pretty fuckin stupid. And I'm one of many blacks that feel that way about him.

    I think this might be the first time since I don't know how far back that most of the top movies at the box office all had rotten scores: Madea's Boo! = 31%, Jack Reacher 2= 40%, Quija 2= 80% (the only one with good ratings), The Accountant = 51%, The Girl on the train =43%, Keeping up with the Joneses = 18%

    I don't tend to agree with anything Spike Lee says but in this this case I will quote him, in regards to most Tyler Perry Flicks:

    Coonery Buffoonery

    Perry just doesn't know to make an intelligent, thought-provoking movie. He TRIES sometimes, but it still just comes out as dumb coon shit that makes us look like unintelligent, Jesus freaks who all have AIDS and baby mama drama. Some of his movies are so horrific and stupid that it's embarrassing.

    Spike can say whatever he'd like about Perry. Do The Ring Thing ALONE buries Tyler's entire career.

    I blame Eddie Murphy for making this novelty acceptable in the first place. :nono:

    I affectionately call it the "Black Man In A Fat Mama" syndrome.
