Not a bad return. Even the<BR/>notorious "Hollywood accounting" couldn't keep this movie in the red.<BR/>Plus, while the gross dropped 49% from the previous week it also lost<BR/>409 theaters (about 25% of the previous total) so the drop isn't quite so bad. I haven't seen the<BR/>movie, but it does support the notion that if you make movies people<BR/>want to see, you'll make money. Looks like Mr Perry has already<BR/>learned that. Mr Clooney, are you listening?<BR/><BR/>Dean<BR/>Mpls, MNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-1143050315202910282006-03-22T12:58:00.000-05:002006-03-22T12:58:00.000-05:00I bet I'm the only Galley Slave reader who has see...I bet I'm the only Galley Slave reader who has seen Madea's Family Reunion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-1142962957934015902006-03-21T12:42:00.000-05:002006-03-21T12:42:00.000-05:00This must mean that black people don't watch the A...This must mean that black people don't watch the Academy Awards. I, for one, am shocked.
