Oct. 2008: 78.〕 His first movie, ''Diary of a Mad Black Woman'', produced on a budget of $5.5 million, became an unexpected commercial success prompting widespread discussion among industry watchers about whether middle-class African-Americans were simply not being addressed by mainstream Hollywood movies. Its final gross box office receipts were $50.6 million, although it was critically panned scoring only 16 percent approval rating on the website Rotten Tomatoes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Diary of Mad Black Woman )〕 On its opening weekend, February 24, 2006, Perry's film version of ''Madea's Family Reunion'' opened at #1 with $30.3 million.
