Posted on October 15, 2007

Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married ruled the box office this past weekend, making an estimated $21,500,000. The per theater gross was an astounding $10,691. That's good news for Janet Jackson, in particular, who would like to get her acting career going. In second place was The Rock in The Game Plan, which made another $11,506,000. It's gross to date is $59,447,000.

In third place was George Clooney in Michael Clayton which made $11,010,000. We Own the Night, the crime thriller starring Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg, came in fourth making only $11,000,000. That has to be a big disappointment for the studio. In fifth place was The Heartbreak Kid starring Ben Stiller which made another $7,425,000. In sixth place was Elizabeth: The Golden Age starring Cate Blanchett and Clive Owen in the sequel to Elizabeth. Opening in relatively few theaters, the film made an estimated $6,183,000.
