Comment on If Tyler Perry is a billionaire with his own successful movie studio then why are his films so bad?
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 15 hours agoThe 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.

It sounds like they think the movie is good, it just took too much money to make given it’s lack of appeal to a wide audience. I think that makes sense.

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.

So profitable makes it amazing?

No. Arguably Amazing is a constant in this equation. Revenue and expenses are the variables.
