QuoteGirls Trip? Drives Past $100 Mark At US Box Office / Does Big Business Abroad Too
(http://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/girls-trip-movie-1-thatgrapejuice-600x376.jpeg)
QuoteThe comedy, which follows four friends as they attend the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, bucked the trend of lukewarm returns for funny films in the summer.
Instead, it?s become one of the most successful efforts from producer Will Packer.
Full story on its landmark achievement below?
As of this week, ?Girls Trip? has crossed the $100 million mark at the US box office.
In doing so, the flick ? which stars Regina Hall, Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, and Tiffany Haddish ? becomes Packer?s third offering to exceed $100 million at the domestic box office. His other titles to earn this honor are ?Ride Along? and?Straight Outta Compton.?
More broadly, it?s the first comedy this year to hit this milestone.
The slay isn?t limited to US shores either. ?Girls Trip? is scorching abroad too.
It has already made $7.4 million in the UK and seems poised to outperform ?Get Out? ? another sleeper hit that ended its run in the region at $12.7 million.
The comedy also rocked South Africa, topping the box office for two weekends consecutively.
In having a staggered release internationally, the film will be released in Australia and Romania on August 31st, with roll-out continuing in other markets through to November.
According to Deadline, Universal insiders say that knew they had something special when at an early test screening. The audience were reportedly laughing so hard and continuous, folk couldn?t hear all the jokes.
**********
This slay brings us genuine joy, especially the deeper meaning attached.
Sure the film has mass appeal, but there?s no distracting from the fact that it?s managed to achieve all of this anchored by an all Afro-American cast. A female Afro-American cast at that.
In an ideal world, one shouldn?t have to highlight this as a great movie should simply be just that ? a great movie.
But the reality is that it?s still rare for such productions to ever the see the light on such a huge scale.
Hopefully, successes like this help drive home to Hollywood that embracing diversity can still yield them dollars.
Im so happy for these bitches :stressed:
Black Hollywood has really been killing it this yr on tv and film

These were completely different stories, just because someone died in both doesnt make them similar. :dead:
And it definitely doesnt equate to tyler adding aids and CHURCH into every damn movie
What does Queen Lathan have to do with anything?

This is a big win for all Black actors and actresses. Rig and I were just talking about this a couple of days ago. This is how their market value will continue to increase so they can start demanding more money and getting more roles.
I'm going to start buying tickets to these movies even if I'm not interested in the specific movie itself.
Might as well start with this one.

Just had to highlight the vast contrast that's going on. These girls have a box office hit and that girl's mess was cancelled. Im inclined to believe it's because she ain't tf cute tbh

I really didn't like the previews . But I just want to show my support. I'll probably find someone in the area that'll take the seat.
And I'll do the same for the next Black movie that comes out. So they can make more like Black Panther that I really can't wait to see.
dddd
The previews were a mess
But omf-a!
U should still go :plzstop:

Book. The movie was a kii out.
I feel like a pointless sequel is pretty much guaranteed at this point.
Omg
Would love a sequel! Although it's not needed.
This could be like the Black female version of the hangover :ohwow:
And speaking of sequels, they need a fckn Bridesmaids 2
Yea Tyler could never and Ray knows it lolz
