A Madea Family Funeral may not have topped the box office this weekend, but it is an unqualified winner. That’s a robust 2.94x weekend multiplier and one of Tyler Perry’s biggest debuts in his 14-year/20-movie career. Among Tyler Perry flicks, it sits behind only Boo! ($29m in 2010), A Madea Family Reunion ($30m in 2006) and Madea Goes to Jail ($41m in 2009). Fans showed up for A Madea Family Funeral because they wanted to see Madea.
