It's official. If Tyler Perry is not wearing a dress his core audience is not interested...
Alex Cross starring Tyler Perry was a big disappointment at the box office this weekend pulling in a modest $11 million.
From E Online
Alex Cross is Perry's lowest-grossing opener as an actor; it is the second-lowest debut of his career, after Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls, which he wrote, directed and produced.
The funny or not-funny thing, depending on your perspective, is that Perry was tapped to star in Alex Cross after filmmakers ditched Idris Elba (Luther, Obsessed) because the British actor, who starred in Daddy's Little Girls, by the by, wasn't considered box office.
"Idris is great, but I don't know if he can open a movie," Alex Cross author James Patterson said in the Los Angeles Times.
