Best Man Holiday Debut stuns Box Office: Morris Chestnut Surprises MovieGoers In Baldwin Hills

This past weekend, moviegoers that attended the 7:40pm showing of Best Man Holiday at Rave Cinemas in Baldwin Hills experienced a huge surprise when Morris Chestnut made an appearance at the theater. Immediately after the previews for upcoming releases were done rolling, an announcement was made that the theater was experiencing technical difficulties, and before the anxious crowd had a chance to get upset, Morris appeared in the flesh. He said:

I just wanted to come out and say, ‘Thank you everyone that has come out and supported the film. We really put a lot of blood, sweat and tears in this movie, literally. So, I think this movie is going to be something that you guys can all appreciate. I’m pretty sure you are going to like it.

He also asked his fans to Tweet, Facebook and use their social media to let everyone know about the film.

Morris was accompanied by his daughter Paige and wife Pam. The trio almost caused mayhem as they attempted to exit the theater shortly after he made the brief theater appearance.

Thor: the Dark World ruled the weekend box office again, banking $38.5 million, but more exciting may be The Best Man Holiday—a black-American release that took second with a stunning $30.6 million debut, the LA Times reports. "There’s no crystal ball in guessing this stuff," said an exec at distributor Universal
