![]() ![]() Walter pins the blame on George for spearheading the scheme and laundering funds before sneaking out. He sees his boss Walter ( Tom Arnold) who informs him that his company is a Ponzi scheme run by the Malone crime family. He gets to his office at Lockwise Industries and arrives to a harrowing scene his co-workers are shredding documents and are in a state of chaos. He promises Howie that he will take him to his Saturday afternoon baseball game after he gets back from the office. George Needleman ( Eugene Levy) is a nerdy, high level CFO in New York City who lives with his second wife Kate ( Denise Richards), his mother Barbara ( Doris Roberts), his troubled youth teenage daughter Cindy ( Danielle Campbell) from an earlier marriage, and his pre-teen son Howie (Devan Leos) in nearby suburban Connecticut. With total box office gross of about $67 million, Madea's Witness Protection is in the top three of Tyler Perry's most successful movies, after Boo! A Madea Halloween and Madea Goes to Jail. The film was filmed in Atlanta from mid to late January to the beginning of March 2012 and was released through 34th Street Films and Lionsgate. It tells the story about Madea being a host to a family that the FBI has entered into the witness protection program due to the fact that the patriarch has been the CFO of a company that a crime family was using to further their Ponzi schemes. It is the fourth Perry film not to be adapted from a play, alongside The Family That Preys, Daddy's Little Girls, and Good Deeds, as well as the first Madea film not to be adapted from a play. It is the fourteenth film by Perry and the seventh installment in the Madea cinematic universe. The film stars Perry, Eugene Levy, Denise Richards, Doris Roberts, Romeo Miller, Tom Arnold, John Amos, and Marla Gibbs. Tyler Perry will keep making them until people stop watching them…and there is no sign of that happening any time soon.Madea's Witness Protection is a 2012 American comedy film directed, written and produced by Tyler Perry. And we should expect to see another Madea movie in the next 18 months. The primary questions are whether it earns more or less than $32 million on opening weekend and $65 million during its domestic run. Madea’s Witness Protection will be a blockbuster. I am confident that somehow Madea will save the day and allow him to get the drop on the various bad guys who do not care how funny Eugene Levy was in American Pie. He has been framed by the mafia as the instigator in the bilking of millions of dollars. Levy portrays the patsy in a Ponzi scheme who is forced to move to Georgia. Instead, Eugene Levy will utilize all of the tricks he learned hitting on Queen Latifah in Bringing Down the House (“You got me straight trippin’, Boo!”) in order to provide comic foil to Madea. Madea is not the one relocated in a witness protection program. This one is entitled Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Witness Protection. ![]() In a shocking turn of events, the summer of 2012 will include the release of another Madea film. Yes, having Madea in the title almost doubles the potential revenue of Tyler Perry movies. ![]() The opening weekend average for these three titles is $32 million while their final domestic box office average is $65.7 million. The three most recent films with Madea (and Tyler Perry) in the title are Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Family Reunion, Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail and Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family. These movies averaged opening weekends of $14.7 million and final domestic revenue of $36 million. Recent Tyler Perry movies that do not feature the character include Tyler Perry’s Good Deeds, Tyler Perry’s The Family That Preys and Tyler Perry’s Daddy’s Little Girls. The numbers support the notion that Madea is a massive box office draw. Madea, for those of you unaware, is the nickname of a character named Mabel Simmons who happens to be the most popular African-American comedian since Richard Pryor. The division is those that feature Madea versus those that do not. There are two types of Tyler Perry movies thus far in his career. Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection Release Date: ![]()
