...weekend that saw about a 35% jump in ticket sales from last Easter, the mass audience gifted the new releases with nice, colorful eggs. One-man indie conglomerate writer-director-star Tyler Perry reunited with Janet Jackson for Why Did I Get Married Too, which pulled in $30.2 million - far above the three-day tally for the 2007 original. This is the fourth $30 million-plus opening for a Perry movie, though the revenue usually drops quickly in succeeding weeks. (His last four films earned at least 45% of their total take in the first three days.) Spending just...
...moneymaker whose films are pretty much off the blockbuster radar, enjoyed a decent opening of $16.2 million, and $25.6 million for its first five days, for The Last Song.

Since TIME's iPad app was also debuting on Saturday, it would be the first app I would download. (Get TIME's iPad...

"In some ways, you could draw parallels to humans," he says. "Some people live in enriched environments. They're well educated, have good backgrounds and have other sources of reinforcement. People who come from an impoverished background don't have the same access to sources of [meaning and pleasure]. They tend to migrate toward [things like junk food] that are now readily available and very cheap." (See 10 myths about dieting...
