by

If you have a Netflix account, you understand the challenge of finding something to watch among their vast library. This must be a concern for filmmakers too, as they fear their title might get lost in the pile of new releases each week. But for Tyler Perry, his latest Netflix original movie not only set a record for him, it’s also significantly increasing viewership for his other films on the platform.

The Six Triple Eight Gave Tyler Perry A Streaming Milestone

The movie titled “The Six Triple Eight,” produced by Tyler Perry, is now his most successful debut on Netflix. According to Variety, this film has been viewed over 52.4 million times within its first month on the platform and continues to rank among Netflix’s top 10 globally for a fourth consecutive week.

Although Perry is primarily recognized for his work on the “Madea” film series, he has been diversifying the range of movies he produces in recent times.

For him, “The Six Triple Eight” turned out to be his most extensive project so far, boasting an estimated budget of $70 million. The film was shot at his studio in Atlanta and various locations in London to portray the authentic tale of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. Interestingly, Perry had initially been taken aback by the concept of producing a World War II movie; however, the fruits of his labor undeniably showed in its success.

During their conversation, TopMob discussed the film with Perry and expressed the profound impact he wants viewers to feel after watching the movie. Meanwhile, Kerry Washington, who plays a significant role in the project, had an emotional response to its narrative that she later shared with a reporter.

Appears as though the movie held significant value and resonance for its creators. Now, it’s showing the same effect on viewers as well.

Other Tyler Perry Netflix Movies Are Getting A Major Boost Too

Indeed, it’s quite remarkable how Tyler Perry’s film “The Six Triple Eight” has gained significant popularity on Netflix within the last month. However, what might be even more noteworthy is the news from Variety indicating that his other Netflix originals are also experiencing a boost in popularity due to the success of “The Six Triple Eight.

It seems that the viewing numbers for other Netflix movies have risen by 45% ever since The Six Triple Eight was launched a month ago.

  • A Fall From Grace (2020)
  • Mea Culpa (2022)
  • A Jazzman’s Blues (2022)
  • A Madea Homecoming (2022)

It appears that audiences can’t get enough of The Six Triple Eight, leading them to seek out additional films by Tyler Perry once they’ve finished watching. This is a significant accolade for the filmmaker, suggesting a promising future for his career as a screenwriter, director, and producer.

It’s quite convenient for viewers to delve deeper into his work on Netflix as there’s an abundance of new content in store. In 2023, Perry sealed a multiyear first-look film deal with Netflix, which means some of the movies he’s working on will be released there. Among them is “Madea’s Destination Wedding,” slated for a Netflix release in 2025, and two upcoming dramas: “Straw” featuring Taraji P. Henson, also destined for Netflix, and “Joy Ridge” from Amazon MGM Studios.
