Film “Girls Trip” Surpasses the $100 Million Mark

How many of y’all out there saw Girls Trip more than once? ย We did, and will most likely see it again. ย Thanks to all of us out there who purchased tickets to see the film considered ย a “box office anomaly according to Deadline, beating out this year comedy competition, has surpassed the $100 million mark at the box office. ย For example, Scarlett Johanssonโ€™s โ€œRough Nightโ€ and the Amy Schumer/Goldie Hawn flick โ€œSnatchedโ€ have earned just $22 million and $45.9 million, respectively since their releases earlier this year.

Compare this to last year when four comedies โ€“all released during the summerโ€“ held their own including Ghostbusters (it made $128M despite being a financial upset), Central Intelligence ($127.4M), Bad Moms ($113.3M) and Sausage Party ($97M).

Produced by Will Packer and Malcolm D. Lee, the film follows four lifelong friendsโ€”Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith and Tiffany Haddishโ€” who travel to New Orleans for the annual Essence Festival, where sisterhoods are rekindled, wild sides are rediscovered, and thereโ€™s enough dancing, drinking, brawling and romancing to make the Big Easy blush.
