Winter debut chills Perry

'Tyler Perrys Good Deeds' offered in the helmers second-cheapest opening-weekend domestic B.O. Still, "Deeds" is not even close to done. The pic, which toplines Perry, Thandie Newton and Gabrielle Union, saw the greatest Friday-to-Saturday uptick associated with a Perry opening, up 25%. This is a particularly significant improvement because of the pic's solid "A" CinemaScore rating.Perry's dramas are usually slated as fall releases, for example 2010's "For Colored Women," which opened up to $19.5 million.Women ranked the film very best in exit polls, that could also mean great news, as femme auds often be put off by opening weekend. Males gave the pic a b- evaluation.Perry does not have lengthy to hold back to prove themself again. His next film, "The Marrige Counselor," launches Stateside on This summer 27 via Lionsgate -- the director's first summer time opening.
