Last Week’s Results

The Hobbit debuted atop the box office coming in under its predecessor, but securing enough cash to make a sizable run. Tyler Perry’s latest Madea film, on the other hand, failed to ignite the box office as we might have once expected. Perhaps The Best Man Holiday and Black Nativity burned out the fanbase too much.
