21 Million Worldwide: Another Box Office Hit


Regardless of how you feel about the Wayans family, their films are box office hits. Fifty Shades of Black made 21 million off a 5 million dollar budget. Numbers speak for themselves, just as the Haunted House franchise produced 83 million when both films added together only spent 4 million on the budget. The first 2 Scary Movies made 420 million. White Chicks and Little Man both made well over 100 million each so you can hate the Wayans, you can hate their films, you can hate Marlon for Fifty Shades of Black, but the fact that each and every film will be a box office hit is something you all will have to face!!! Guess what else? Whether you buy a ticket or not, Marlons next film (whether sequels to White Chicks, A Haunted House or this) will be another huge successful hit so deal with it. Don't like it, don't watch it!

It cost 5 million to make; production and friends may have cost an extra 5 million, so 11+ (not counting DVD sales) is still a great profit for the Wayan bros givin most of their movies are dirt cheap to make.

Strong words coming from someone who most likely doesn't even make $21 an hour.
