Tyler Perry’s DVD charts with two million units sold

why-did-i-get-married.jpgTyler Perry’s latest Lionsgate DVD release “Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?,” debuted at number one on the North American DVD charts this past week with over two million units already sold. The accompanying DVD release of his stage play “What’s Done in the Dark” also debuted in the top 10.

Proving to be an unstoppable force in Hollywood, Tyler Perry releases — including theatrical blockbusters “Diary of a Mad Black Woman” and “Madea’s Family Reunion,” along with many of his most popular plays — have sold over 23 million units to date. “Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?” debuted at number one at the North American box office when it was released theatrically in October 2007 and grossed more than $55 million. Lionsgate will look to continue its Tyler Perry run as it gears up for the theatrical debut of its fifth Tyler Perry film — “Meet the Browns” — which hits theatres March 21.
