Hollywood keeps insisting that there’s not a market for movies with predominantly black actors. The few times they are given a movie, a majority of them are comedies. The industry still has a long way to go but in the meantime here’s a cheers to the Top 10 Highest Grossing Black Comedies:
- Ride Along – $134, 938, 200
- The Nutty Professor – $128, 814, 019
- Nutty Professor II: The Klumps – $123, 309, 890
- Big Momma’s House – $117, 559, 438
- Norbit – $95, 673, 607
- Think Like A Man – $91, 547, 205
- Ride Along 2 – $90,835,030
- Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail – $90,508,336
- Are We There Yet? – $82,674,398
- White Men Can’t Jump – $76,253,806
Just in case you weren’t counting, I counted for you: Kevin Hart, Ice Cube and Eddie Murphy have 3 movies each in the list. Can I say, I can’t believe Norbit made the list.
