Madea DESTROYS Netflix! Tyler Perry’s Sweet Message

BBG News

A fresh addition to the streaming lineup is “Madea’s Destination Wedding“, the newest production from filmmaker Tyler Perry. This time around, audiences will join Madea, their beloved street-wise matriarch, as she journeys to tropical locales with her kin, following her great-grandniece’s hasty wedding decision. It’s no secret that Perry has enjoyed tremendous success throughout the years with this iconic character, and with his upcoming 2025 Netflix release receiving high praise, he took a moment to express heartfelt appreciation to fans.

Tyler Perry initially considered himself an outsider in Hollywood, feeling there wasn’t enough content made for people of color. He eventually managed to make a splash when he adapted his play, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, for the silver screen. In the process, he introduced the vivacious character Mabel “Madea” Simmons to mainstream audiences. The Madea train seems to be chugging right along, as Destination Wedding currently stands as the No. 1 trending movie on Netflix, and Perry posted his response to Instagram:

I want to express my deepest gratitude. You and your support haven’t gone unnoticed. We’ve made it to movie number 30 together, and I can’t help but be amazed at your loyalty! I’m truly thankful for you.

Tyler Perry and Netflix have enjoyed a successful partnership for many years now. In 2022, “A Madea Homecoming” became the first film from the Madea movie universe to air on Netflix and managed to reach the impressive milestone of being in the Top 10 in no less than 33 countries. Remarkably, this comedic film even matched the streaming statistics of “Free Guy,” having been viewed for over a billion minutes. These figures suggest that Perry’s long-running franchise continues to maintain a substantial fanbase.

It’s no shock at all to see Madea’s Destination Wedding dominating the aforementioned streaming platform right now. Furthermore, it’s important to note that Tyler Perry has enjoyed significant success with other movies outside of his gun-wielding grandma series as well.

In its initial week on Netflix, the film “A Fall From Grace” by Perry attracted an impressive 26 million views. Similarly, the World War II drama “The Six Triple Eight” saw a staggering 52.4 million views within its first month. Additionally, Perry’s upcoming Netflix drama “Straw,” which premiered in 2025, topped the charts during its weekend debut. It is evident that Perry’s streaming content has resonated with a significant number of viewers.

In more recent times, Tyler Perry has expanded his film portfolio, but the Madea series continues to be his primary source of success. From the trailer for the 2025 Netflix premiere, “Madea’s Destination Wedding” appears to offer everything that fans have come to expect from this franchise, with the original cast returning in a humorous manner, stunning shots of the Bahamas, and a touch of family-related tension.

It wouldn’t shock me at all if Perry chooses to create more movies featuring his cross-dressing character. While opinions about the films may vary, Perry has managed to amass a dedicated fanbase who consistently support his work. Given Perry’s history of success, as long as fans keep watching, he’ll undoubtedly continue to show appreciation.
