QUESTION OF THE WEEK #121

The real heartbreak kid

This Week's Question:

This last weekend, Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? topped the box office.

Yet again, Perry's latest film stunned pundits and industry predictions by making more money than George Clooney's Michael Clayton and Cate Blanchett's Elizabeth: The Golden Age ... combined. I'm willing to bet that most Americans who aren't black had never even heard of the film before today.

Is this a sign that Hollywood is ignoring the market power and interests of the black community? Or does Tyler Perry just have a loyal/cult following?
