The second highest grossing film of this weekend was Tyler Perry’s latest film, Good Deeds. Taking a break from his Madea character, Tyler Perry still proved to be a box office draw with the film, taking in an even $16 million over the weekend.
Holding strong among the holdovers from last week is Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, which jumped up to third from fourth after taking in over $13 million this past weekend. That brought up the film’s domestic total to over $76 million, just $3 million shy of its $79 million production budget.
Dropping to fourth is last week’s #1 film, Safe House. The action/thriller starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds brought in over $11 million this past weekend to bring up its 17-day total to over $98 million domestically. The film should pass the $100 million mark over the next few days.
And rounding out the Top 5 is The Vow with a weekend take of an even $10 million. The romance drama starring Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams became the first release of 2012 to gross over $100 million domestically.
