Tyler Perry has endured many critics lately including fellow directors Spike Lee and John Singleton, who are not very fond of his work. Although, Perry may be getting slammed for his depiction of African-Americans in film, he has become one of the most bankable black directors in Hollywood, especially among African American women. Over the weekend, Lionsgate announced that they have extended their deal with Tyler Perry, which means even more ‘Madea’ will be coming our way. Via the 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.
