Cue the "bbb-but y'all didn't make money off it" negroes
Acrually, Tyler Perry, Nate Moore, the director, cast, costume designer, black owners of Afrikan clothing stores, black owners of movie theaters and merch stores, etc all got paid off this film.
And that's not even the point.
Point is doors opened up more for black creators and actors bc there's a resounding argument to the idea that black doesn't sell
