Tyler Perry's "Madea's Big Happy Family" Is #2 With $25.7 Million

Tyler Perry fans supported his latest film Madea's Big Happy Family to the tune of $25.7 million dollars, but it wasn't enough to land him first place at the box office.  Get the deets inside....

 

Over Easter weekend, Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family made $25.7M during its debut weekend at the box office.  That landed the film in second place behind Rio, which made $26.8M, but there is a chance Tyler could pull ahead once all the sales are counted.

And while $25.7 million dollars is something to be proud of, The Washington Post notes that this is the first time one of Tyler's Madea films didn't open at number one and also it made less money its first week.   In 2006, Madea’s Family Reunion opened with $30 million, and in 2009,  Madea Goes to Jail debuted with $41 million.

He still brought in millions.  So it sounds like he's still WINNING to me.
