Box office report
“Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail”
For the second week in a row, “Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail” nabbed the No. 1 spot at the box office, according to the Associated Press.
The film, starring Perry in his gun-toting granny alter ego Madea, made another $16.5 million over the weekend. The two previous films starring Perry’s colorful character – 2005’s “Diary of Mad Black Woman” and 2006’s “Madea’s Family Reunion” – also debuted at No. 1 and grossed more than $150 million total.
It’s doubtful Perry’s film will continue its run in the No. 1 spot. The highly anticipated film version of the acclaimed graphic novel “Watchmen” opens Friday.

“Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience” came in second over the weekend with $12.7 million. The boy band notched the second-biggest opening for a concert film, behind last year’s “Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert.”
The other new wide release, the video game adaptation “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li,” opened at No. 8 with $4.6 million.
“Slumdog Millionaire”
“Slumdog Millionaire,” danced higher up the top 10 list after winning eight Oscars last week. The film came in third, just behind the Jonas Brothers, with $12.1 million. Danny Boyle’s life-affirming film now has made a total of $115 million and experienced the biggest post-Academy Awards weekend for a best picture Oscar winner in 10 years, according to the AP.
