PixelNomadIf Tyler Perry is a billionaire with his own successful movie studio then why are his films so bad?
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.
Jo MiranThe 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.
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.
