'Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain' Comedy Tour To Hit Theaters Soon…

Posted byBy Stan Castle | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

After the box office success of his comedy tour Laugh At My Pain, Kevin Hart’s career has blasted off to space, with several movie roles, TV shows and so many other gigs ever since. However, all the new additions to his work day hasn’t slowed the comedian/actor down, he just recently finished his multi-city comedy tour Let Me Explain, and just like Laugh At My Pain, it’s slated to hit a theater near you.

Lionsgate and CodeBlack Entertainment will release the film on the 4th of July holiday weekend. CodeBlack is the same company who released Kevin Hart: Laugh at My Pain, which tallied up a hefty $7.7 million in the nationwide box office. Lionsgate recently formed a partnership with Jeff Clanagan, the founder of CodeBlack, so the two companies will release Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain together.

The 2012 Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain concert tour included 10 countries and 80 cities, and was financed and executive produced by Hart and his Hartbeat Productions alongside Clanagan. The tour generated over $32 million in ticket sales.

Will this film be more successful than Laugh At My Pain? Of course, because Hart’s career has exploded he keeps getting more and more exposure. Now that his fan base is so much bigger, an even greater amount of people will likely show up to the theaters come July 4th.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
