Beyonce Knowles took a break from over-singing to once again turn her hand to over-acting, in her new movie ‘Obsessed’.
Despite getting luke-warm reviews and opening to little to no hype, the new flick – also starring Idris Elba and Ali Larter - brought in an impressive $28.5 million.
Beyonce Knowles and Idris Elba’s “Obsessed” debuted as the top weekend movie with $28.5 million in ticket sales. The Sony Screen Gems thriller stars Knowles and Elba as a couple whose ideal marriage lands on the rocks after a psychotic temp played by Ali Larter begins stalking the husband.
The strong opening for “Obsessed” helped maintain Hollywood’s hot streak, with overall revenues at about $112 million, up 23.5 percent from the same weekend last year, according to box-office tracker Media By Numbers. (via Yahoo News)
Zac Efron shuffled down into second place with ‘17 Again’, which brought in $11.7 million in its second weekend. ‘Fighting’ and ‘The Soloist’ took third and fourth places, respectively.

This movie is good, gurl.
Reeeally, I may need to catch a proper preview then, cos the material I seen so far is kinda blah. x
[...] Movie goers are ‘Obsessed’ with Beyonce (amygrindhouse) [...]
Yes, Obsessed is “cheesy good” as my commenter said, plus I never listen to reviews. It’s very suspenseful. I was surprised.
I’m gonna give it a fair shot now… thanks for the advice girl.
well, considering how there was slim pickings this week, i’m not surpirsed it was #1. Of course next week, it’s gonan drop like girl’s panties after prom.
wonder if its any good,m though
You have a point – like the Miss Cali gay marriage thing was helped by a slow news day, this film was helped by a lack of any actual competition. Also…
Lol
