Tom Cruise, ‘Jack Reacher’ No. 1 At The International Box Office, While ‘Medea’ Scares Into No. 1 In The US

 

Tom Cruise is in control globally as ‘Jack Reacher: Never Go Back’ takes the top spot with $54 million for the weekend. But Tyler Perry’s ‘Boo! A Madea Halloween, a horror comedy, took the US domestic box office as the Number 1 movie this past weekend.

 

tyler-perrys-boo-a-medea-halloweenBoo! A Madea Halloween  topped the weekend box office with a debut of over $25 million.  Love it or hate it, Tyler Perry’s Madea movies have done well at the box office with stunning regularity for the past 11 years.

 

Impressively, Reacher 2’s opening weekend debut is 28 percent higher than the first ‘Jack Reacher’ film back in 2012. Cruise’s ‘Jack Reacher 2’ actioner had an international box office haul that nearly doubled Tyler Perry’s US and global box office tally.

 

Notably, another Tom also had a great weekend with Tom Hanks’ ‘Inferno,’ one week ahead of its North American release adding another $28.9 million for a total to date of $94.8 million.
