Tyler Perry Studios also proves you can produce terrible content.

Was there ever a year that Hollywood failed to prove this too?
Like I said, if it were “terrible” people wouldn’t be spending their money on it. The studios are producing what consumers are willing so pay for and consumers pay for it. Amazing how well the free market works without government getting involved.
Well, again in the grand scheme of things in a capitalist society, his content makes a profit, has no negative externalities [1] and has a great ROI so it is a good product.

[1] I’m personally no fan of it, it’s low brow shucking and jiving, Stepin Fetchit content. And before I get downvoted to oblivion and flagged for being racist, I am Black.

Tyler Perry acknowledges he does not make movies for everyone but for and audience the movie industry typically ignored in the past.

I am not a fan either...
