Lionsgate’s A Madea Family Funeral opened in the second spot with $27 million, above the $18 million to $20 million expected. This is Perry’s biggest opener since 2010’s
Alita: Battle Angel rounded out the top 3, bringing in $7 million.
Greta, starring Chloe Grace Moretz, about a young woman who befriends and then is stalked by a senior citizen (played by Isabelle Huppert), disappointed with only $4.6 for its opener.
