Box Office 'Mad' For 'Diary'
As Hollywood prepared to celebrate its biggest stars at the Academy Awards on Sunday, the top spot at the North American box office went to a film by a formerly homeless playwright little known by movie fans.
"Diary of a Mad Black Woman," a low-budget African-American revenge story based on a play written and produced by actor Tyler Perry, opened at No. 1 with estimated weekend ticket sales of $22.7 million, distributor Lions Gate Films said.
