I would have expected this to be Tyler's biggest opener...Im surprised by this

Me too. I knew it wouldn't gross higher than WDIGMToo but I thought it'd at least reach 20+millon over the weekend. I like how he tried to say the movie is for everyone but its really for black women. I know alot of women from different races deal with the same stuff but this movie don't have that name for nothing

I don't know why people are shocked. That is good for this type of film.

Since all the critics wanted to compares this movie to Precious, which had Oscar buzz too, it did pretty good.

Hopefully word of mouth (which is 90% good) will keep it in the top 5 for a couple weeks.

It should be a very powerful movie. So powerful that some people aren't just going to run out to see it. Some people will need to wait until they're in the right head space. and anyway, with art it's not always about the money.
