Tim Burton's 9 didn't have a chance at dominating the weekend box office—not against the mogul whose name really counts: Tyler Perry.
The latest Perry-branded dramedy, I Can Do Bad All By Myself, led all films with a $24 million Friday-Sunday take, estimates showed. The Burton-produced CGI tale 9, which opened Wednesday, was second with $10.9 million.
Also finishing in second—in advance ticket sales—was New Moon, which, per Fandango, was its top seller, after I Can Do Bad All By Myself, heading into the weekend.
Stay tuned for the complete Top 10 standings.
