It’s no doubt that extreme marketing efforts like the celebrity surprise Producer Will Packer launched on several Atlanta theatres opening weekend, played a hand in the box office success of the flick.
Think Like a Man opened to an estimated $33 million from just 2,015 theaters.
The movie’s $16,377 per-theater average is third-highest for a nationwide release so far this year behind The Hunger Games ($36,871) and The Lorax ($18,830) and significantly above huge hits like The Vow, Safe House and 21 Jump Street.
Its opening was also better than nearly all comparable titles, including all Tyler Perry movies except Madea Goes to Jail ($41 million). (source)
