Takers Takes the Number 1 Spot

Idris Elba, TI, Chris Breezy and the rest of the crew have much to celebrate - despite opening in less theaters, the cast of Takers edged out their competition to take the #1 spot in the Box Office  Opening Weekend.  Big things indeed.

As MTV reports: While early estimates had "The Last Exorcism" edging out "Takers" at the box office this weekend, T.I. says not so fast. According to a recalculated tally on BoxOfficeMojo.com, his heist film, also starring Idris Elba and Chris Brown, came out on top, grossing $20.5 million vs. the horror movie's $20.3 million.

"It was so tight, they kinda misinformed people prematurely and gave out the wrong information," Tip said about the initial numbers. "But officially, as it stands right now, 'Takers' is the #1 movie in the country, contrary to popular belief. In my heart, I felt it would be.

Big congratulations to the guys and all those who worked on set to make the movie happen.  Looking forward to the pre-qual TI says is already in the works. Check out the Trailer below:
