Even Dhar Mann has better sets, writing and even to some extent actors. If Tyler Perry is this wealthy he has no excuse to make low quality films.

Tyler Perry is very open and honest about one thing when it comes to his movies. This is his quote. I super serve my base.
He knows exactly who likes his movies and what they like and he makes movies for them. He doesn’t give a fuck, his words, about what anyone outside of his base audience thinks of his products.
I think his movies are shit, but I am not in his base audience clearly neither are you
Now, with all that said , there has never been a correlation between the quality of a movie and it’s financial success. yes many great movies are financially successful but pulling numbers out of my ass 10 times that terrible movies are equally financially successful.
Also, a lot of making money in movies is about understanding the finances and business of making movies. Perry has mastered the ecosystem of movie sales.
The recent financial disaster that is “The Bride” is almost completely correlated to poor spending. I believe the studio spent around $190 million after promotion and marketing on what was arguably an amazing indie arthouse film that should have been made on a tiny budget. It’s just so niche.
Tyler Perry cranks out low budget films that have an extremely low financial hurdle to clear before they become profitable.
I’m Confused as to why you’re so convinced the bride would be amazing If it had A tiny budget but hey whatever.
It sounds like they think the movie is good, it just took too much money to make given it’s lack of appeal to a wide audience. I think that makes sense.
I think they mean IF the Bride didn’t have such a massive advertising budget, it probably could have sold more than it cost. Smaller advertising would have resulted in less sales overall, but would require less sales to become profitable.
So profitable makes it amazing?
No. Arguably Amazing is a constant in this equation. Revenue and expenses are the variables.
Visualize that base: people who like Tyler Perry Movies. They would probably say Monty Python are shit and they can’t believe how much garbage they produced.
Basically yeah: Tyler Perry movies are not for you (or me). And other people think the same thing about the stuff we like.
I am nit certain on your first paragraph, but absolutely on your second.
Yeah I could be totally wrong on that example - was just looking for some example.
