Also, Tyler Perry has his first Summer release withMadea’s Witness Protection (2,161 venues), and Disney/DreamWorks takes a stab at adult counterprogramming with People Like Us (2,055 theaters).
With The Hangover Part II ($254.5 million),Bridesmaids ($169.1 million), Horrible Bosses ($117.5 million) and Bad Teacher ($100.3 million), last Summer was without a doubt the best Summer ever for R-rated comedies. That’s not the case this year, though, as bothThe Dictator ($58.9 million) and That’s My Boy ($31.4 million) have failed to deliver similar box office returns.
