Team Breezy, today we all proved that we don’t take NO for an answer!

When we were told Chris’s career was doomed, we continued to support him; when we were told “Takers” was not going to be a box office success, we went out and we saw it multiple times. Well, Team Breezy, after a long weekend it has been announced today that Takers is officially the #1 film in the US this week! The film raked in $20,512,304 beating out the studio and analyst expectations and bumping “The Last Exorcism” into second place.

FYI: It was a close race for the top spot between the two films with only $140,000 seperating them, but we came out on top!

As summer comes blissfully to an end, moviegoers aren’t abandoning their local multiplex yet.  Two new releases performed better than expected on Friday, even if they were purposely released in the dog days of August.

Lionsgate’s “The Last Exorcism” surprised many with an impressive $9.4 million on Friday for what could be anywhere from an $20-25 million weekend depending on word of mouth. The horror flick received mediocre reviews, but with an incredibly low budget, could be the cash cow Lionsgate desperately needs.

In second place, Screen Gems’ “Takers,” who has had just enough date changes to make many question the quality of the ensemble thriller, may have benefited from a less competitive opening frame.  The Chris Brown and T.I. flick grossed $7.5 million for what could be an $18-20 million debut. Reportedly shot for only $20 million, “Takers” was eviscerated by critics which could mean a short shelf life in theaters.  Sony will be happy with whatever it can get from the heist picture over the next few weeks.

Dropping to third was Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables.”  The Millennium Films/Lionsgate action adventure found another $2.7 million for what could be anywhere from $7-8 million 3-day.  “Expendables” should cross $80 million by Sunday, but it’s going to take a few weeks to hit the magic $100 million mark.

In fourth, “Eat Pray Love” grossed another $2.1 million for what should be a $6-7 million.  “Love” should reach $60 million by Sunday, but the six figure mark looks like a stretch at this point.  The Julia Roberts romantic drama will be happy to come anywhere close to last summer’s “Julie and Julia” which finished with $94 million.

Happier news for Sony Pictures came with Will Ferrell’s “The Other Guys” $1.9 million Friday and what should be a $5.8 million 3-day.  By Monday, “The Other Guys” should be close to $100 million and when all is said and done could finish close to Ferrell’s “Blades of Glory” which made $118 million.

In just 811 3-D and IMAX screens, the re-release of “Avatar” did a so-so $1.2 million.

Leave it to people to hate on a great movie. They need to get over themselves, and go see the damn movie. It was epic! Stay clicked, I will be be posting the first version of the Takers Ticket Takeover collage this evening!

So, I just had this genius idea and thought I’d rush to my computer to post it so we can get it started TODAY!

We all know that Chris Brown‘s new movie, #TAKERS, is in theatres today and that we’re all going to see it today —  maybe some tomorrow or Sunday, but the true die hards are going to see it today (unless you don’t live in America *tear*)!

Anyway, I was thinking that we can all take a picture of ourselves at the movie theatre holding our TAKERS ticket, hence the title of the post, Takers Ticket Takeover lol. Starting this evening, after I return home from my screening of the movie, I’ll be putting together a collage. The collage will consist of all the fans that showed their support, and took their photos with their TAKERS ticket.

To submit your photo upload it to TwitPic.com and mention it @ChrisBrownWeb after you’ve uploaded it, or simply e-mail it to us! Simple enough, right?

The collage will grow over time, and each new picture will be beautifully placed in the graphic as we receive them. The Takers Ticket Takeover isn’t just for this weekend, so all of you that don’t see it this weekend, or live in another country – don’t forget about it. Of course, I’ll be sure to remind you on Twitter and in posts that will be made next week!

So, let’s go! Oh, and don’t forget to include #Takers in EVERY tweet you send  out today. Let’s get it trending!

Ps – stay clicked for the WeAreTeamBreezy Takers forum discussion post. We’ll be posting our review of the movie there and would love your feedback, as well as your own reviews and even just textual SCREAMS about how you felt seeing Chris Brown returning to the ultra, mega, super, big.. okay.. maybe it’s not that big – but, big screen.

By the way, watch out for bed bugs at your local AMC theatre, New Yorkers. Gross.

Takers, the movie we’ve all been waiting for, is finally in theaters! Go see it! See it more than once! Take a friend, take your whole family! Hell, take a stranger! (kidding lol). Convince somebody who doesn’t want to see it, to go see it! Lets make Takers #1!

So we all know that Takers hits theaters tomorrow. (If you didn’t, where have you been? Welcome to 2010.) Well, the buzz surrounding the film during the preliminary screenings of the movie, was so positive that the studio and movie-execs behind “Takers” are already thinking about a doing prequel to the film. That’s not bad for a film that hasn’t even been released yet.

Speaking to MTV, Breezy confessed that he’d love to see a prequel to “Takers” stating, “I think it would be good,” Brown said. “There’s more stuff we can add, be hands on with it. For me, I think this movie is going to be great. It’s more of a story you can tell, a lot more action. You know, when you do prequels, they always bring more stuff than the last one. That’s what make people want to see it.”

Read the full interview right here.

“Takers” is expected to gross over $15,000,000 this weekend., but I think we can do more damage than that! What would you say to a “Takers” prequel? Would you see it?

Finally, the film and music world are catching on to the Breezy effect! Took them long enough..

Hit me up on Twitter for off-topic Breezy news, @YerdMeAndrex2 and while you’re there, follow @ChrisBrownWeb as well! You know you want to .

…but for the sake of this article, I will anyway!
Let’s continue..

Things are finally looking up for Chris Brown as we all head back to school; and if I’m not mistaken, it appears Chris has been doing some studying and learning lately, too! After his unforgettable Michael Jackson tribute at the 2010 BET Awards, which he described as “the ultimate apology,” it seems as if his career has resurrected from a serious coma – and I say that as the most humble and honest fan of his.

Following the aftermath of the events that took place in 2009, despite Chris giving his all in his efforts with his music, he was not being well received by radio, and the general public.  When the chips were down, and the future didn’t shine as bright as it used to, all Chris had was the support of his family, friends, and his TRUE fans, known affectionally worldwide as #teamBreezy. (*cough* WeAreTeamBreezy (TeamBreezy.com) is officially launching very soon!) Though still in our infancy, we stan harder that most – case in point the 2010 BET Fandemoinum Award WE won for Chris! I truly think there is no better way to say “we still believe” than to award him for continuing his journey, in spite of the nay-sayers and those who did not approve!

Chris tweeted “I’m back” a couple of days ago, referring to his appearance on BET’s 106 and Park. That day, in my eyes, was the day the comeback truly ensued. Breezy is back in the spotlight, and riding high with yet another SMASH that is continuing to climb the charts, “Deuces” featuring Tyga and … Moving along. This week the song is #2 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, as well ast #29 on the HOT 100. Not to mention it’s sitting pretty at #4 on the ringtones charts, and in need of some love on the Digital Songs charts at #40. (Buy “Deuces” on iTunes | Amazon | Rhapsody)

Chris isn’t stopping there, though. Chris said he will be releasing the Matrix video soon after Takers hits theaters on Friday, and reports have come in saying that him and Twista will be shooting a music video for “Make A Movie”! And, I must not fail to mention that just yesterday Chris tweeted there will be a video for “Ain’t Thinking ‘Bout You”.

Chris is not only releasing music and showing up on your TV screens, he is returning to the radio for interviews as well. Tomorrow, Chris will be on your radio waves during the Rickey Smiley Morning Show on 97.9 The Beat. (Source)

Now, the moment I’ve been waiting this whole post for!

Takers

The movie hits theaters TO-MOTHERF*CKIN-MORROW!

Where are you gonna be? At your local movie theatre! And what are you going to be watching?  Got-damn TAKERS with Christopher Maurice, Idris Elba, Clifford Harris, Michael Ealy, Paul Walker, and Hayden Batman Christensen. Oh, and Jay Hernandez! #noshade Anyway, I can’t stress to you how much we all need to go see this movie THIS WEEKEND to support not only the budget*Chris and to show him that we still believe!

So, with all of that said – congratulations Chris. You’re clearly schooling the rest of these R&B/Pop male artists how to do it. Depsite your troubles, you still reign supreme. You’re stronger, wiser, and better than ever. So, continue to chuck up the Deuces to the haters while running towards what you were destined to become.

*(LOL – I’m just kidding, I don’t even know the budget)
