Tyler Perry continues to silence his naysayers with success that cannot be denied.

The Atlanta-based actor/screen-writer saw his latest effort ‘Good Deeds’ generate $16 Million at the box office on its first weekend. A figure meaty enough to secure the flick, which also stars Gabrielle Union, Phylicia Rashad, and Thandie Newton, the #2 slot.

And while it’s worth noting that Perry’s ‘Madea’ movies are renown for opening with $20 Million (double its average production cost), ‘Deeds’ has indeed held up well, given that it doesn’t feature the much-loved matriarch.

More power to Tyler. We just hope this success helps facilitate a new, more varied array of movies under his corporate umbrella.

In any cas, peep this week’s US box office chart below, via The YBF:

1. Act of Valor, Relativity/Bandito Brothers, $24.7 million

‘Panty Droppa’ Trey Songz may be on a nationwide tour dropping the hits on his adoring fans on the Big Sean-assisted ‘Anticipation 2our’, but that didn’t stop him from finding time to work the camera for March 2012’s GQ magazine issue.  Showing off his Spring fashions, the pouted lip pop star took to task being snapped by famed photographer Ben Watts.

Yes, we know. It happened yesterday.

However, Chris Brown‘s shows-stopping NBA Halftime performance of ‘Turn Up The Music’ was buried in the depths of a Pitbull performance; hence we were likely washing the dishes, phoning a friend or doing something altogether more important than listening to the rapper’s crimes against music.

Yet, as the age old adage goes, greatness will always find a means to shine. And shine Brown did during the high octane showing.

For some strange reason, there are those who find Chris Brown‘s current state of affairs to be funny.
