Chris Brown & T.I Continue To Promote ‘Takers’

Chris Brown and T.I are hard at work trying to ensure that their new movie, ‘Takers’, is a hit. This time the music heavyweights sat down with our friends over at The YBF, along with their co-stars Idris Elba and Michael Ealy, to talk about their roles in the film. Check out the interview below:

  17. Jazybelle August 27, 2010

    Ti accent is funny lol Him and Chris are soo from the south you can tell.
    and Idris is hot hot hot that’s all

  18. BENJAMIN August 27, 2010

    I still don’t want to see this movie. This was actually supposed to come out last year, because this was filmed back in 08,’ but they had to postpone it due to two of the actor’s “situations.” Besides, T.I. can’t act to save his life, and Chris isn’t too convincing either. Movies like these do nothing but promote rapper’s egos anyway. But more power to the production overall though.

  19. X,Y,”and Z” August 27, 2010

    VERY IMPORTANT — When you get your tickets, be sure it says “TAKERS” on the ticket-stub! If it doesn’t, the actors, producers and those affiliated with this film, won’t get any credit …!!!

    … BE SURE YOUR TICKET SAYS “TAKERS” ON IT ….!!!!

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT …!!!

  20. VA STAND UP!! August 27, 2010

    @pursuitofme: Um….gross.

    This was a really short clip. It looks like it was on the same day they did the interview with MTV. I’ve seen a dozen lil interviews like thi, all on the same day but with different interviewers.

    I had no idea Chrs used to hunt, I know he is a country boy but damn! I don’t know how I feel about that. *shrugs*

    Anyway, I can’t wait to see this movie tonite! My so called friends went to the premiere here in Richmond on Tuesday without me (b*tches) and they said that it was really good!. My gurl Monet is one of those real hard to please type chicks, she usually never likes anything we go to see she always find something to complain about! So if she said it was ‘really’ good than I am really looking forward to it! I never fgive a damn what the critics say!

    Plus I am sure that it will open No. 1 ! There is pretty much is NO competition and it is the all people have been talking about for a while now. The cast, espcially TI, Chris and Idris have really been out promoting it well so it is sure to pull in numbers opening weekend! I’m so happy and excited for Chris!

  21. VA STAND UP!! August 27, 2010

    Oh and congrats to my boy on his top ten hit ‘Deuces’ climbing from No. 5 t to No. 2 this week on the r&b charts! He is right behind Usher and is sure to grab the top spot! Here’s the link for proof for the haters who keep insisting that he is flopping.

    http://www.billboard.com/#/charts/r-b-hip-hop-songs?begin=1&order=position

    Also climbing 10 spots from No. 39 to No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100! Again here is proof for the haters:

    http://www.billboard.com/#/charts/hot-100?begin=21&order=position

    So again, how is ‘Deuces’ flopping on the charts? Exactly! It’s not! Haters stay mad as Breezy continues to shine!

  22. Lady August 27, 2010

    Its funny though when you read that last link cuz a hater paid about $10 just to hate say that? Lol. FAIL! I told ya’ll even CB haters would be seeing the movie. Thanks to the idiots who do stuff like that!

    And this makes it even funnier:

    I’m back in this b****! Aint nobody finna say s*** else about chris brown while I’m in here!! And I’m coming back at 7:00pm! Holla!!!

  27. kody August 27, 2010

    TO MY TEAM BREEZY FAMILY CNN IS STILL TRYING TO DISS CHRIS THEY ARE SAYING WILL CHRIS BROWN EFFECT TAKERS BUT THEM RASICT SON OF B****** DONT KNOW IS MOST OIF THIS MOVIE SUCCES WILL BE BECAUSE OF CHRIS STRONG FAN BASE CALL CNN COMMENT AND LET THEM KNOW WHATS GOOD

  28. Lady August 27, 2010

    @Kody
    I saw that mess CNN was talking. And they are trynna say if the movie fails it will be because of Chris. Thats not fair to say. So now Chris holds the weight of all those men? But watch the movie top the box offices and they not give Chris any credit but its his fans all up in the movie theater with the Chris Brown shirts and stuff. Most people are gonna go see it for Chris and T.I. so CNN is just trynna start s*** for real.

    I’m gonna go see it tomorrow *sigh* I wanted to go see it today but I can’t…..but Imma be up in that b**** come saturday night! And nobody better say what happened! Don’t say s*** about the movie before Saturday night!

    @Va Stand Up
    I’m still laughing about that LMFAO! Whoever said “F*** Chris Brown” is an asshole. First of all he got slapped(bet u nobody will be talking s*** about Chris during the movie anymore lol). And not only that but they let the girl who slapped him stay in the end and the guy had to leave. Lol. His night didnt work out too well…LMFAO! But I thank idiots like that for seeing the movie 😀

  29. Lady August 27, 2010

    When T.I. was on 106 last monday and went through the list of people in the movie ain’t nobody start screaming their ass off until he got to CB’s name so CNN and whoever else can shut that s*** up. And monday wasn’t even Chris’ day to promote Takers. So f*** CNN. ANd F*** E! for giving Takers a “C” rating but giving the f****** fish movie a “B” LOL! Thats wack. Oh well I’m still gonna go see it. E! is always hating on black people….everything that they say that deals with Chris I don’t take seriously(Example: CB at Takers junket…they couldnt even be professional). TAKERS! I’m so mad I gotta wait til Saturday night! I know some asshole is gonna start blabbing about what happened before than…..

  30. Lady August 27, 2010

    But remember #TeamBreezy even though that was funny as s*** violence is NEVER the answer. Just curse them out instead!

  31. X,Y,”and Z” August 27, 2010

    All right y’all ….

    I finally got my crew together: my nephew/niece 10 of us rollin’-strong; it’s taking 2-cars to get us all there! I’m ’bout to step outta the house, first to top-off the tanks (in both vehicles) THEN to the theaters! Here’s the link to my local theater:https://www.movietickets.com/purchase.asp?perf_id=618514300&afid=sonpi

    And when YOU buy YOUR tickets(?), be sure you see “TAKERS” on the ticket! Otherwise, no-one’ll get credit for their hard-work: not the producers, actors, director or whatever!!!

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT …!!!

    P.S. — Oh, you just GOTTA know, I’mma keep ALL of my ticket-stubs …!!!!

  32. Me August 27, 2010

    Sorry to repost, but….

    EVERY BLACK person should go support this movie b/c it has BLACK, MALE PRODUCERS & EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS (Morris Chestnut, TI, Chris, Gabriel Casseus, Jason Geter) and JUST FOR THAT REASON, a LOT of people would like to see it fail…you know…the racists and the “coons”.

    Whether you dislike one of the actors or not, SUPPORT these black men going against the odds and taking their success into their own hands! If you have a dad, brother, uncle, male cousin,son, stepson…you have to go! This movie succeeding may just help open doors for one of them, one day. Think deeper!

    GO WATCH TAKERS and DON’T bootleg it!

  33. Me August 27, 2010

    Ugh! I see some short-sighted , ignorant azzz black folks bragging on Twitter about having a bootleg copy of Takers. So annoying. Isn’t that a felony, anyway?

  34. Big Red August 28, 2010

    I saw it today and it was one of the BEST movies I’ve seen thus far this year. Everyone did a good job in perfecting their role in the film so I wouldn’t mind seeing this again at the theater next week sometime. Critics will come out and devalue the film, not because it didn’t appeal to them, but because of their own ignorance. The reality of the life obstacles that a person faces is irrelevant to the character he or she portrayed in a fictional film; but, fans do not allow someone else stupidity get you worked up. Smile. Be kind. Eventually, it won’t be long until they experience the joy you felt when you saw ‘Takers.’

    Also, Madea (Tyler Perry) and ‘The Tom Joyner Morning Show’ support ‘Takers’ too (link below). Earlier this week someone from the morning show stated how good the film was, and they were not lying. Its worth seeing.

    FIRST BOX OFFICE: ‘Last Exorcism’ Takes ‘The Takers’ Because Of 668 More Runs

    FRIDAY PM: Sources are giving me these very early North American grosses. I’ll be refining numbers and writing an analysis shortly:

    1. The Last Exorcism (Lionsgate) NEW [2,874 Theaters]
    Friday $8.5M, Estimated Weekend $23.2M

    2. The Takers (Screen Gems/Sony) NEW [2,206 Theaters]
    Friday $7.2M, Estimated Weekend $20.3M

    3. The Expendables (Lionsgate) Week 3 [3,398 Theaters]
    Friday $2.5M (-51%), Estimated Weekend $8.2M, Estimated Cume $81M

    4. Eat Pray Love (Sony) Week 3 [3,108 Theaters]
    Friday $2.0M (-46%), Estimated Weekend $6.4M, Estimated Cume $60.5M

    5. The Other Guys (Sony) Week 4 [3,181 Theaters]
    Friday $1.8M (-40%), Estimated Weekend $5.8M, Estimated Cume $99M

    You might want to see Takers a few more times this weekend to make it number 1. Some other sites are saying it’ll only make $14-15 mil. I thought it was entertaining and fun to watch myself. I think they want it it to make at least $25 mil to consider it a big success.
