Family Still Matters

For the second time in a row, Madea's Family Reunion, tops the U.S. box office. The Tyler Perry comedy was able to take on actor Bruce Willis, and win rather convincingly during "OSCAR Weekend".

Box Office Mojo's Brandon Gray reports:

'Madea's Family Reunion' topped the weekend by default (with $16.6 Million in ticket sales) '16 Blocks,' ( which was expected to be first, came in 2nd with $11.8 Million) 'Ultraviolet,' (coming in 4th with just over $9 Million) 'Dave Chappelle's Block Party' (7th place with $6.2 Million) and 'Aquamarine' (5th place with $7.4 Million) floundered out of the gate...

Here's the complete report with all the info broken down for us.

I must say, I was a bit surprised that 16 Blocks didn't pull out the victory, settling for 2nd place instead. I also expected that Dave Chappelle's Block Party to do better, given how many legions of fans the guy has, thanks to his (almost) defunct TV show.
