Boo! A Madea Halloween will open with 2-6 times $7M


Madea movies open with $16-41M, much more than $7M. Tyler Perry knows his audience!
Boo! A Madea Halloween (2016) could even get a higher IMDB rating. Opens the 21st.

Because Madea is a dumb comedy Aldo Nate Parker is a SOB! Black movie fans just like everyone else go to films to escape life problems. The slavery movies are boring and unoriginal. Black people are BORED with these movies.

Welp, they didn't go see Southside With Me, Queen of Katwe or Moonlight and those arn't slae movies.. stop latching on to these tired excuses and just admit Black movie audiences for the most part like sh-tty movies, point blank.

They'd rahter watch coonery, buffonery from Tyler Perry and Kevin Hart, than movies with substance.

BTW You know people are desperate to BASH on this film when they are using Tyler Perry's success to trash it. LOL

I don't find it valuable to pit Tyler Perry and Kevin Hart vs. Southside with Me, BOAN, etc... they are totally different genres.

Ava tweeted congratulations earlier, there is room enough for multiple directors to be successful vs. a narrow view as if there can only be one. https://twitter.com/AVAETC/status/790266018203447296

It reminds me of Beyonce super fans, goodness gracious there are other singers, Bey cannot perform every year at the Super Bowl nor should she win every award no matter what Kanye thinks.

I keep seeing people say "we need to support the brothers" but Tyler is a brother too so why kick him into the ground for his efforts? Or Kevin Hart? How is Nate Parker more of a brother than these two? He sold his project to Fox for fast cash which many believe was a mistake. Some of his investors, etc.. were not black, and his wife of course is not black so does writing about Nat Turner make his black card superior? 

What Tyler and Kevin do is they know people like to laugh, so they hit that hard, make their money, then invest in other projects like Good Deeds, For Colored Girls... It may not be Langston Hughes or James Baldwin, but it works for them.

I have no idea what "in the streets" means. This movie is not on pirate sites yet.

I wonder how that works.

You know exactly what "in the streets" means
