Box Office: Mad Black Woman Rejects Hitch for $22.7M
This was probably not the best movie weekend to coincide with The Academy Awards, which honored Hollywood?s best of 2004. Three of this weekend?s wide debuts were all below 17% on the Tomatometer. Two of them didn?t even have the guts to be screened for critics. However, one of them did claim the top spot at this weekend?s box office. As ?Diary of a Mad, Black Woman? shows, no matter how bad the film, it?s probably better to screen it to critics anyways because of the additional publicity it?ll receive from critics? reviews. ?Diary of a Mad, Black Woman,? also has the extra benefit of Oprah?s recommendation on Jay Leno.

Clearly, the studios are trying to hide the quality of their movies, or lack there of, with marketing dollars before critics can get a chance to alert the public. More...
