If 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.
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: Tyler Perry movies are not for you (or me). And other people think the same thing about the stuff you like.
