Lionsgate just extended their deal with Tyler Perry for three more years...
From LA Times
Lionsgate said that the new deal will include two additional movies starring his signature character Madea, an outspoken Southern African-American grandmother played by Perry in drag. The Madea movies have been Perry's most financially successful, particularly 2009's "Madea Goes to Jail," which grossed $90 million domestically.
The deal also gives Lionsgate the option to release other movies directed, written by, produced by or starring Perry. It also continues an arrangement through which the studio releases DVDs of his stage plays and other material.
Perry's low-cost movies have been consistently successful. His most recent release, "For Colored Girls" (an adaptation of a play) that Perry directed but did not appear in, was one of his worst performers, taking in $37.7 million at the box office.
Atlanta-based Perry makes his movies with total creative control and also keeps half of the profits in one of the most filmmaker-friendly deals in Hollywood, according to people familiar with the matter. That's because he brings Lionsgate a devoted fan base that consistently shows up to see his movies on opening weekend.
The extended arrangement does not include Perry's television works. He created and executive produces the TV sitcoms "Meet the Browns" and "House of Payne," which are distributed by Lionsgate subsidiary Debmar-Mercury and air on TBS. "House of Payne" is already in syndication, and "Meet the Browns" will soon follow.

WTF NO. IM SO TIRED OF HIS COON SHIT.
Im not a big fan of his but Im always happy to see a person making it happen and doing their thing big ups.
Instead of making deals with the white man, making them richer, he needs to venture out ON HIS OWN and be the first black owned major business and hire black employees. Even oprah is owned by the whites.
Next post please.
I hope he writes better movies.
Perry is delivering what sells
The movie Preparation Parties WILL CONTINUE!!!
A lot of ppl call him a coon for medea but when he does something like colored girs no one goes see it. So plz sit down!!!!
He should do a movie called DRAG MADEA TO HELL, now I'll pay to see that!
BEING A COON, HOUSE NIGGER and Putting Your BEST DAMN EFFORT in Ernest to BELITTLE the ENTIRE Black Community as a WHOLE to YT AmeriKKKa WILL and HAS ALWAYZ made SELLOUTS like Tyler Fairy Very Rich (MF-ing Real...)
HIS Money, HIS Fame & also HIS SHAME to live with... Doesn't Effect ME
@3:07pm
THAT will NEVER HAPPEN from Him (NICE Thought Though...)
People didn't go see 'Colored Girls' cause' it was a piece of shit. Period.
I like his movies the only thing that bothers me about them is that there is always some dark twisted situation tied into them..in madea goes to jail the girl was a drug addicted prostitute who was raped in college.in family reunion the woman was practically sold off to some rich man by her mother and her sister had been raped as a child by her father.in meet the browns the woman was raising three children by three different men without a decent job.precious was about some rediculously over wieght black female who got pregnant twice by her own father who gave her aids and she was also forced to give her mother sexual pleassures.like wtf??why did I get married was the only somewhat decent movie he came out with and I think that's only because he was in it but even then every relationship showcased was somehow dysfunctional.I wish he would make something that stears away from such tragedy.we shall see with madeas big happy family
I just wish he could make and write better movies I mean damn enough is enough.
tyler perry loves to dress in drag.. with his dyk sucking lips! ugh!
I like Madea.. I love to watch the movies,makes me laugh, I just cant watch them wdhen my son is home- LOL
#not a good role model :(
they are extending the deal because they like to see Black men in drag, makes them less intimidating
WAKE UP FAGGOT AZZ TYLER PERRY- WHEN WILL YOU LEARN THAT THEY ARE ONLY USING YOU TO SEND A HORRIBLE MESSAGE TO BLACK MALE YOUTH.. FUKIN BAFOON!
Hmmm...It's so interesting people complain about movies they hate watching so much...
STOP WATCHING THE FUCKING MOVIES.
DON'T GO SEE THEM.
DO SOMETHING ELSE.
Damn how stupid must you be to complain about something you say you don't participate it? Pretty damn dumb.
Carry on...
You know what Mr. Perry was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His upbringing may actually be worst than most folk. I do think it is said black folk will only support this type of movie due to not having a more intellectual pallet for media. I will be damned if I knock this come up on your own gentleman. He gave colored girls a try and the product was good maybe not the best but good. He has made an attempt when other folks step up to the plate that is when I think they can criticize.
Keep us laughing Tyler, atleast u r not killin up people!!
@3:55 PM - preach!
3:16-word up he is a capitalist doing it to the fullest. hear, hear!
anon 3:23- u better say that! i loved fcg...ppl are stupid. all of those things happen...history repeating itself...black folk acted a fewl about the color purple back in the 80's, for portraying black men in a bad light...but then when awards time came around the wanted to cry discrimination! saddoooooooooown!
life imitates art! like there were or are no bad black men...hell, i stopped using the "n" word when the beloved one took office. but u know what? look at hot getto mess, roastem and or you know u dead azz wrong and u will see, we still have a lot of em...so...
5:08 for real, for real!
House Nigga!!
where is Spike Lee when u need em....??? Oh I forgot, he is on the Knicks courtside#makeamovienigga
Good for him :)
Madea needs to go! At first it was kind of funny now it's stupid!
@3:07 wrong. oprah owns whites.
@5:21 i'd dare say that that a majority of black folk have had a hard life. perry isn't special.
@3:55PM I concur. It was embarrassingly terrible.
Those who can't or won't do...criticize:( Log off and go build your own!!!!
YT must really be cashing in with Tyler. Otherwise they would have put his ass out to pasture.
Perry continue making YOUR type of movies and plays that keep us lauging instead of fighting and watching movies that has KILLINS and blacks being nothing but SEX PARTNERS AND NIGGAS SLAVES for the white man and let these self HATING fucckers continue to HATE while you're on your way to the bank after the reviews come in..
He DOES OWN a studio that employs about 95% black.....He DOES invest/give back to the BLACK community million fold.....black male actors have been dressing in drag & calling it entertainment waaaaaaayyyyyyyybefore this man came on the scene.....does Flip Wilson ring any bells???.....what about Jamie Foxx....Martin Lawrence.....remember that God awful Juwanna Mann????!!!!...EVEN WESLEY SNIPES & VING RHAMES!!!!!!!.....Dustin Hoffman did it & made millions.....Robin Williams did it and made millions....not once did I hear the white community in an uproar over their "cracka antics"....some of you are so busy blowing your own horn that you can't even hear that it needs ti be tuned up...I have read responses form some of the "regulars" constantly spewing negative statistics, being quick to shout "Black folks got to do better", yet you can almost hear cyber crickets when something POSITIVE is posted, although many STILL try to be salty.....everyone is entitled. to their own opinion, but I think it's pretty sad when SOME BLACK people find it easier to criticize & tear down another, than it is to celebrate their success...write your scripts and submit them to TP, Spike Lee, F. Gary Gray, John Singleton, Robert Townsend, Kim Fields, Don Cheadle, Will Smith, Jaleel White, Keenan Ivory Wayans and any other black film producer who's on the come up, hoping to get their break...I can't say that I'm TP fan, but I am a fan of ANYONE within our culture who is able to OVERCOME major disadvantages LEGALLY, and become successful in their own right.....some of y'all suffer from some serious PTSD....Posting Tired Shit DAILY!!!!...here come the Illuminati ranters/name callers/Emo ghost writers/RWS "regulars".....LMBO!!!!!...
@5:24am-Pleasegetalife, Thank you, I agree with you. Mr. Perry brings up things that people in the black community are so hush hush about. Takes them out of the confort zone. As far as Madea, she gives wisdom and makes you laugh at the same time. They down Mr. Perry but love this getto reality shows that VH1, MTV, and BRAVO show. As long as people keep thinking inside the box they will never get ahead.
Tyler Perry can't write or produce intelligent Black movies because he's not intelligent. You can't write what you don't know. If all you know about is how to dress in drag and talk shit, or abused women, that's all you're going to write about. And I thought I told Okrah to take this mofo with her when she leaves the scene?
Im sorry but if i dont like something i wont waste my time saying bad things about it. God dont like ugly. I love his (TP) movies. They teach me something new every time i watch them. I pray that he continues to bless the world with the word from GOD. If this is how god came into my life, with the help of TP then im glad. God Bless :)
I thought he said he was independent? So, he is just another 40 acres and a mule after all. wow
I actually like his movie four colored girls but many in the black community who he cater to - the hood, they want to see madea in drag and all his ghetto-ism. so of coarse four colored girls only grossed 37million. that movie was for the people who have sense and understood the movie...madea goes to jail will sell over 37 million because that's what folks in the hood can relate to. You take a brother or a sister to the library and many of them will be lost..a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
for colored girls did not sell for many reasons. some of it is intellect levels of audience he caters to.
most of it is nigga's and blacks are tired of him and oprah's slavery bs that keeps black people in a time warp like we never over came. period.
i wish black women wil start telling they own damn stories. white men and black men keep ya'll in dysfunctional situations.
where is julie dash, terry mcmillan, or that gina prince love n basketball lady? anybody at this damn point.
I LOVE'S..... ME SOME TYLER PERRY , HONEY !!!...THAT IS MY FUTURE BABY DADDY!!!!!!! IF I COULD EVER GET CLOSE TOO TYLER ...I AM THE LION AND HE IS THE PREY..LOL
I do not like posting comments but when I read comments by people who doesn't know Jesus I felt the need to post. People focus so much on bringing people down that they dont know how to build themselves up. If Jesus spent the day critiquing your work or daily activities people would think he was a cruel God. Being negative only impacts yourself and make it harder for you to get your blessings. You may not like are agree with his movies but you also have the option of turning off your tv. Behind every character is a story that someone may not you but someone can relate too. Instead of going on to these gossip sites and posting negative comments. Try to write something positive. Your opinon is yours so keep it to yourself. I hate coming on to this site and see all the hateful comments. You can tell who cares Jesus in their heart and who carry him by ear. When I say by ear that means listen to the word but they dont live it. Let God show in everything that you do and everything that you say. Like Rev. Run says God is love...
