The film really has the perfect release date and there hasn't been mainstream urbanoriented movies ot for a while. The original The Best Man adjusts to $54 million. Another comparable film is This Christmas - it adjusts to $57 million. I'd also argue that Terrence Howard and Regina Hall are much bigger stars now than they were when the first film was released. I'm thinking: Opening Weekend - $23 million Total Gross - $59 million |

It'll be interesting to see how this performs given that it's being released 14 years after the original. The first one was a hit, though, and this one should be too. Also, I might be mistaken but isn't this the only movie coming out this holiday season actually about Christmas? That'll probably help. Edit: There's also Black Nativity and Madea. So all three Christmas films this year are targeting the African-American audience. Sort of odd. $60M. |

Hollywood has done a lot of random sequels but this one really takes the cake. Waiting 14 years to make a sequel to a film that made $34 m... |

I do not believe the core audience will mind the 14-year gap. The original has, I understand, become a certain sentimental favorite. I imagine the scene in the trailer with Taye Diggs, Morris Chestnut, Terrence Howard, etc. dancing in smooth suits is cat nip to African American women of a certain age. 26/70 |

It did outpen the expectations and its showing some good staying power in the first week. If not for the competition it could have reached even $100m domestic total IMO. |
