Kevin Hart Laughs His A** to the Box Office Bank

Stand-up comedian, Kevin Hart, is laughing this weekend and it damn sure has nothing to do with pain. His new movie, “Kevin Hart: Laugh at my Pain” opened September 9th in 99 theaters and has already garnered $2 million. This was shocking to movie critics, as stand-up comedies don’t usually do so well on the big screen. Jeff Clanagan, chief executive of the independent production company, Codeblack Entertainment, produced the movie on a budget of $750,000 and distributed it domestically to AMC theaters. He credits the success and publicity of the movie to the general public as the majority of the word-of-mouth spread via facebook and twitter where Hart has over 2 million followers.

He adds,

The film consists mostly of footage taken during one of Kevin Hart’s shows, a brief documentary-style segment of the comedian in his hometown of Philadelphia, and a short action spoof of the movie “Reservoir Dogs.” If  you checked the movie out this weekend, please share your thoughts.
