CONGRATULATIONS to the cast, crew and production staff of Takers. I have been keeping an eye out on the numbers and the movie was #1 in its first weekend and #2 in its second weekend beating out Machete and Exorcism and hanging close with the American. The fact that this was an all black production project makes its success a big deal. It's rare that you see black producers given a shot at big budget hollywood films. The industry did not have high expectations for this film and yet it still managed to beat out its counterparts.
