I personally am not shocked as everyone else with the Friday night opening of Diary. My one self would wonder about this "Black - note it is in the title" but after the abuse I took asking about the XXXXXX with Hitch being the #1 Romantic comedy opening ever, I won't say that again.

Now, it could be that lots of KJ users saw this movie on opening night but with it's bad RT rating, I still think there is more to this number.

DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN 7.10 - Friday opening only

And surprise, here are the 3 top BO movies of 2005

2005 DOMESTIC GROSSES

1 Hitch Sony $101,008,218
2 Are We There Yet? Sony $72,366,449
3 Coach Carter Par. $65,277,141

Then maybe these were the 3 best movies of the year?

Yes Box it has been that way for a week plus Diaries opening this week.

Hope some replies from those who answered in the Hitch thread.

Ok Box, take over the year's race - that isn't the main point of the thread that I earlier starter.

But there is more to the "Black" thing .......

Off to the movies so final point that people are missing in Box's copycat thread.

There is a big difference in the movies that blacks and non-blacks see.

And also how the BO openings of some of these movies are almost like horror movies that get a big Friday or opening weekend and then start dropping.

Look at Ice Cube's movies especially as that is viewed differently by .............

:Sleep:

That is kind of interesting that the top 3 films of 2005 currently are "urban" films.
