SIMONE DEL ROSARIO:
UH OH… COULD WE GET A RECREATION OF THIS MOMENT DURING AWARDS SEASON?
KANYE WEST:
“YO TAYLOR… I’M REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU. I’M GONNA LET YOU FINISH. BUT BEYONCE HAD ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS OF ALL TIME.”
SIMONE DEL ROSARIO:
TAYLOR SWIFT’S ERA’S TOUR CONCERT FILM HITS THEATERS OCTOBER 13TH AND A NEW MOVIE ABOUT BEYONCE’S RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR HITS THEATERS IN DECEMBER.BOTH WILL PROBABLY SMASH RECORDS WITH HOW HARD IT IS TO GET TICKETS THESE DAYS. LET’S SEE WHAT IT WILL TAKE. WE HAVE THE HIGHEST GROSSING CONCERT FILMS IN HISTORY IN THIS WEEK’S FIVE FOR FRIDAY.
LIVE COMEDY SHOWS ARE IN FACT CONCERTS. 2000’S THE ORIGINAL KINGS OF COMEDY MADE HOUSEHOLD NAMES OUT OF THE LATE BERNIE MAC, CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER, D.L. HUGLEY AND NOW-FAMILY FEUD HOST STEVE HARVEY. DIRECTED BY FAMED-DIRECTOR SPIKE LEE AND SHOT AT NORTH CAROLINA’S CHARLOTTE COLISEUM, THE FILM WAS A HUGE SUCCESS TAKING HOME $38 MILLION OR $67 MILLION ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION. IT’S CERTIFIED FRESH ON ROTTEN TOMATOES AND BOASTS SOME OF THE BEST SCORES ON THE LIST.
BEFORE HE STARRED IN FAMILY FILMS LIKE THE NUTTY PROFESSOR AND SHREK, EDDIE MURPHY WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST STAND UPS ON THE PLANET. 1987’S EDDIE MURPHY: RAW STARTS WITH A SKIT ABOUT A YOUNG EDDIE THAT INCLUDES A CAMEO FROM SAMUEL L JACKSON BEFORE HE WAS HUGE. THEN HE TAKES THE STAGE OF MADISON SQUARE GARDEN FULLY CLAD IN PURPLE LEATHER. IT’S A LOOK. RAW BROUGHT IN MORE THAN $50 MILLION AT THE BOX OFFICE, THE EQUIVALENT OF $133 MILLION TODAY. INFLATION IS OUT OF CONTROL FOLKS. IT’S GOT GOOD REVIEWS EVEN THOUGH IT HAS SOME THINGS THAT ARE PROBLEMATIC BY TODAY’S STANDARDS. MURPHY IS WIDELY SEEN AS ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER DO IT, AND PLANNED A RETURN TO THE STAGE FOR 2020, BUT WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THERE.
LOOK… IF YOU CAN’T SHELL OUT BIG BUCKS TO SEE HARRY STYLES… ERR… ONE DIRECTION IN PERSON, 1D: THIS IS US IS THE NEXT BEST OPTION;. THE FILM FOLLOWED THE BRITISH BOY BAND’S LONDON STOP ON THEIR TAKE ME HOME TOUR ALONG WITH FOOTAGE BEFORE THEY WERE PUT TOGETHER ON X FACTOR. FOR SOME REASON IT WAS DIRECTED BY MORGAN SPURLOCK, THAT GUY WHO ATE MCDONALDS FOR 30 DAYS IN SUPER SIZE ME. IT WAS 3D BECAUSE EVERYTHING AT THE TIME WAS, AND HAD BETTER THAN AVERAGE REVIEWS ON ITS WAY TO MAKING $68 MILLION GLOBALLY OR $89 MILL TODAY.
HANNAH MONTANA & MILEY CYRUS: BEST OF BOTH WORLDS MADE MORE THAN $70 MILLION WORLDWIDE, THAT WOULD BE $101 MILLION TODAY. IT OPENED THE WEEKEND OF THE SUPER BOWL 2008, WHICH WAS A PRETTY GOOD ONE, AND IS THE BIGGEST OPENING EVER FOR A FILM RELEASED THE WEEKEND OF THE BIG GAME. BEST OF BOTH WORLDS MARKED THE TRANSITION FROM HANNAH INTO MILEY AS AN ARTIST. AND HAS A COUPLE SONGS BY THE JO BROS. IT WAS ALSO IN 3D, IT’S LIKE YOU’RE THERE. ITS REVIEWS ARE OK, BUT IF YOU HAD A YOUNG DAUGHTER IN THE MID-2000S, YOU SAW THIS ONE.
BEFORE BIEBER WAS CATCHING FLACK FOR THE WAY HE DRESSES TO GET DONUTS, HE WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST POP STARS ON THE PLANET. 2011’S JUSTIN BIEBER: NEVER SAY NEVER RAKED IN $99 MILLION DOLLARS OR $138 MILL TODAY. THE FILM’S AUDIENCE WAS 84 PERCENT WOMEN AND GIRLS. TAYLOR HAS A BIGGER BASE CONSIDERING FANS ARE PRETTY EQUALLY SPLIT. IT’S ALSO THE WORST REVIEWED FILM OF ANY ON THE LIST, AND THE FOLLOW UP JUSTIN BIEBER’S BELIEVE DIDN’T DO ANY BETTER.
SURPRISE, SURPRISE, NOT ONE OF THESE LANDED ON ROLLING STONES BEST CONCERT FILMS OF ALL TIME. WHO ARE THE TALKING HEADS OR LED ZEPPELIN ANYWAY? SARCASM. THAT’S FIVE FOR FRIDAY, I’M SIMONE DEL ROSARIO. IT’S JUST BUSINESS.
