No. 1 movie in Atlanta is still ‘Married’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The vampire-laden “30 Days of Night” may have won the national weekend box-office race, but the No. 1 movie in metro Atlanta is still Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married?”
Perry’s film took in roughly $709,087 over the weekend here, nearly tripling the take of “30 Days,” which earned $276,444 and finished second locally.
In just 10 days, “Married” has earned $38.86 million in North America. In its first weekend in metro Atlanta, “Married” garnered more than $1.35 million.

The best woman in Tyler Perry’s ‘Married’ is …
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Before I ever saw Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married?” I envisioned posting a blog asking who moviegoers preferred in the film — Janet Jackson or Jill Scott?
It made sense at the time. Then I saw the movie. And when it comes to a performance in “Married” the only person I think about is Tasha Smith (pictured below with co-star Michael Jai White).
As Angela, Smith steals every single scene she’s in. And she’s in the movie a lot.
Perry wrote her a dynamite role with sass and smart-mouth lines. She delivers.
Who’s your favorite female performer in “Why Did I Get Married?” Sharon Leal? Janet Jackson? Jill Scott? Or the obvious choice, Tasha Smith?
