The media mogul's latest film Divorce in the Black dropped on Amazon Prime Video back in July 2024, and it's caused a stir among those who've streamed it. The movie follows a young woman (Meagan Good) who's devastated by her husband (Cory Hardrict) filing for divorce, and the consequences that come with her trying to move on from the relationship. At the time of the movie's release, fans immediately started watching it, and it led to some interesting stats that Tyler shared on Instagram.
According to the Maxine's Baby: a Tyler Perry Story creator (and a report from Variety), Divorce in the Black drove more people to sign up for Amazon Prime Video in the U.S. than any other Amazon MGM Studios produced film. What's more, the outlet reported that the movie came in at #3 on Nielsen's Top 10 streaming chart for the week of July 8-14, with 498 million minutes watched.
