The latest Madea movie cost 20 million dollars to make, and was produced by his own company. Not only that, he wrote, directed, and starred in the movie.

The "why" IS the money.

Like Adam Sandler, Tyler Perry makes movies which are horribly received by critics but that make a fuckton of money.

Sure, he could try making better movies, but why take the chance? Easier to put on that dress and watch the money roll in. And that's why there are nine Madea movies, and based on the success of the latest one, I can guarantee there will be a tenth one.

So get ready to keep getting mad
