What REALLY Happened To The Girlfriends Movie (Allegedly)

[@brahmabkitty03]

This is my pet peeve of Hollywood. Stop telling blacks to get their own and when we do y’all shut it down! Our Kind Of People is another show that was screwed over! I hope Kelsey Grammar comes through bc WE NEED THIS MOVIE!!!

[@naturalkinks8683]

I really liked that show

[@AishaRaison]

I went in deep with Our Kind of People and just knew that a second season was coming. It was so good!

[@thedcgirl202]

I’m so glad Our Kind of People was not renewed. Great cast but It had a horrible story line. I supported the show but It was painful to watch. By episode 3 I knew it would not be renewed

[@ytallowskids2seedepravityb219]

This is what Tyler Perry is doing and that's why he refuse to allow whites to help him. He want to build his OWN but black people talk MORE sh*t about it

[@brahmabkitty03]

@@thedcgirl202 I know everything isn’t for everyone but our shows need at least 2 seasons to let the characters develop. Worse YT shows are renewed even if they suck

[@rosalynmathis6309]

Yes!! What's stopping Kelsey Grammar from selling it on Paramount+ They're rebooting his sitcom, Frasier on Paramount+ and The Game is already in its 2nd season on Paramount+ and doing well. Girlfriends deserves a proper ending. We need closure.

[@bronzegoddess3186]

I think Mara is holding it up. I’ve heard her say in an interview that she wants a Sex and the City budget and that’s just delusional.

[@Dre_Overmars]

@@bronzegoddess3186is it delusional or is it asking for what you deserve. She’s been in the game for over 20 years.

[@CeliniacForLife]

​@@bronzegoddess3186 Very!

[@CeliniacForLife]

​@@Dre_Overmars No, it's delusional. Girlfriends wasn't, isn't, and will never be the GLOBAL phenomenon and awards juggernaut that Sex and the City was, is, and will always be.

[@NDGOCHYLD]

We need a girlfriends movie. We need our sex in the city damnit

[@thelovelysherrie]

The Girlfriends Movie, at the theater, could make so much money.

[@Me-gi8pp]

This show was def my favorite n I was mad as hell when it ended . Thanks for the tea ❤️

[@Barber747]

After Jill left is when I started to watch it progressively less and less. Season 7 (which was Girlfriends' first season on its successor network, The CW, following UPN's eventual shutdown) was mediocre at best...

[@NDGOCHYLD]

Lailah i was not expecting you to drop so much tea. I was not reeeeadyyy.... 🐸 🍵

[@christie8532]

[@JazzandLaughter]

Right!!!

[@vershaller4644]

I just want my closure. Did Joan and Aaron get married? Did Aaron make it out ok?Did Joan and Toni end their feud. Oh my how is William, Monique and the baby? Did the Arthuress stick to writing the neighborhood blog or did she finally get her book writing grove back. Jabari will it be the same face or a new one? How’s Mr. Switalman? Does he have a new wife? Hey Darnell! And Lynn how’s the music career? I need answers!

[@DamnDemi]

Yes, I need closure!! This was one of THE BEST sitcoms of ALL TIME.

[@mochasmoment]

Yes, Girlfriends definitely needs a better ending.

[@sharethasharlee8123]

They are definitely worth the price. I never watched any sex and the city shows or movies because it seemed like a bunch of old ww. Girlfriends was the show my sisters and I would play the characters. Everyone always wanted to be Toni. 🤣🥰

[@incognitonegress3453]

Ooh, yall was scandalous. I was Joan n evil maya

[@BAMOORE94]

At this point I wish we could do a kickstart or something!! That way she could do the movie her way!!! I wish Hollywood seen the power in the movie!! That show was epic!!!!

[@spfsincerely1341]

That’s alright ladies. I’m finna win the next billion dollar lottery and I got y’all. New series and movie will be done! We fin’ to do this! I’m speaking this into existence damnit❤❤❤

[@douse89]

It was definitely PR that Kelsaey was speaking because if he truly cared, he could find the funding or fund his self.

[@chandrawilliams2289]

I want a reboot so bad

[@nicorriesanders]

Tyler Perry gone ahead and help us get this movie please!

[@theamericanway4261]

I pray he sees your comment. He’s the perfect person to do this one.

[@ryanr.1123]

Yes and no. He would be PERFECT to fund it but he rushes a LOT of projects. I'm already nervous about Sister Act 3. 😬

[@SarynVyo]

Wait he’s doing SA3?! Idk how I feel about that. But I agree, Tyler Perry came to mind. As many corny shows as he has still on the air, I wonder why she never made similar money moves. She should have her own production company by now (unless that’s not what she wants). But at least she’d be able to do what she wanted.

[@ShareBearChelle]

Damn! 😂 I just typed the same thing.

[@nicolejohnson4989]

He better not put them in some crazy ratty lacefronts...oh wait they all look like they have good hair anyway...carry on

[@kidnplay3978]

Weren't they able to make a Veronica Mars movie through some kind of crowd funding? I wonder why they didn't try that. It don't need to be a big budget studio movie that's released in theaters. I would've settled for a quality produced TV movie.

[@_jordanslyric]

I think it’s a matter of the rights being unavailable as well.

[@msprettyyoungthing20]

Okay!!!

[@asiajohnson6191]

She should link up with Tyler Perry and get it done

[@wordswrittenbyme2109]

Yes we need a reboot or a movie. Season 8 of girlfriends wasnt even finished. We need Tyler Perry and Kelsey grammer to combine forces.

[@ItsJustTuesday]

Tyler don’t need to touch this imo

[@honeytotes3471]

Absolutely no Tyler Perry

[@MoDavI-sl7iy]

@@ItsJustTuesday I agree

[@MoDavI-sl7iy]

Idky ppl give Tyler Perry so much credit. His shows/movies are poorly written, with bad acting. What I must say though, is when I see some of his actors in other shows/movies, they can actually act. So, maybe it's just his writing 🤔. So, PLEASE don't touch this one TP🤷🏾‍♀️

[@AccessoriesAddict5528]

Can you imagine the hairstyles if TP gets involved?? 😬

[@blackdiamond4ever]

How in thee world did other sitcoms get a reboot but not Girlfriends? Girlfriends is a popular show, still on streaming platforms and there’s still a huge demand for it after all these years being off air. Girlfriends didn’t get the proper closure it rightfully deserved. There should be no excuse at this point as to why Girlfriends cannot be revived. I’ll take either a reboot hell, I’ll even settle for a movie that ties up all loose ends on Girlfriends. We the people need to make this to happen, our black community needs this for the culture. Give me over a billion dollars and I’ll invest to have a movie out on Girlfriends with a huge promotion layout and if the movie does really well and it’s a huge success, let’s talk reboot on TV. I’m putting it out there.

[@bronzegoddess3186]

We need to fund it ourselves or figure out a way to have Tyler Perry sponsor it-silently. They could use the Girl’s Trip movie as a benchmark-it made $140.9 million at the box office and it cost $19 million to make (a 7:1 return on spend). The first Sex and the City movie had a budget of $65 million and made $418.8 million. So the SATC movie made 3 times more than Girl’s Trip and basically saw a 6:1 return on spend. I don’t think enough people care about that show anymore to warrant a $65 million budget. I think that’s what Mara wants. Maybe Netflix will see the numbers and offer them something for a movie deal or maybe a black Golden Girls type of show. None of them are really doing any mainstream acting right now. Blackish is over for Tracee. So…

[@black_goddess2813]

If they can reboot that 70s show they can give us our girlfriends back

[@moneyandwealthconverstaion8550]

I just started watching girlfriends. It's classic. Girlfriends are so worth every penny.

[@delk127]

I’m still upset we haven’t gotten at least one movie or something to give us an update on the characters. It’s actually bothersome to me we gotten nothing for this amazing show but they keep throwing Sex and The City in our faces a show I’ve never even watched an episode of. It’s something that still bothers me to this day

[@beautifulsoultress3078]

After watching the Best man Series on Peacock, in a business sense that was a great idea to do a limited series instead of a movie maybe this show and future reboots should follow

[@jalisawilliams0228]

Tyler Perry may have a home for the Girlfriend's Movie on his studio

[@MoDavI-sl7iy]

I'm wondering if they do a reboot of Girlfriend's, would Jill be on it🤔. I loved her acting, & her character on the show.

[@carmonkathy49]

I think that she is right, pay what you would pay your Caucasian producer. The girls are entitled to their equal share. We are very talented.

[@ronniecoco757]

I haven't even watched the video yet, BUT... I will say I spent the past 2 days binging The Best Man: The Final Chapters, and I know many others have too. If we (the audience) still have the interest in these stories after 20+ years, they need to get the GIRLFRIENDS: The Movie done!!! I still care!! And so many of us still do Ok! I'll be back with my opinion after I actually watch

[@4evermistyblu]

I would love to see a movie!!! They so deserving of a proper send off.

[@shanekatorbert6093]

Man we need Tyler Perry to fund this movie asap… I need closure 😊

[@sassk7443]

Noooooo. Will Packer would be better. Tyler will NOT pay the creator what she deserves. He won't even hire writers and pay them what he is supposed to.

[@tajsimms8976]

Tyler Perry mistreats his staff! And won’t give anyone else a chance at directing! There aren’t many black directors in the industry he had an opportunity to fill that gap and give his crew a chance to direct but he won’t!

[@stephenkd1]

[@teddishaashley]

@@its_april1 He was allegedly having an affair with a woman for years & she claimed that he was abusive towards her. So, when she came out with it, OWN canceled the show after first, renewing it.

[@amethystsings]

25-30 mil is more reasonable and for the second film, go bigger. Sex and the City was on HBO for yeeeeaaaaars. I do feel Girlfriends could compete and do quite well but let’s be real. That budget is toooo high.

[@bubblesbunnyful]

What is Tyler Perry's excuse and Kelsey Grammer's excuse not rebooting Girlfriends or doing a movie??? How does the game keep getting revived but girlfriends never have??? It's just baffling.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Mara is delusional if she thinks ANYONE is going to give Girlfriends a $50-60 million budget for the film. I love [the first six seasons of] Girlfriends, but it wasn't, isn't, and will never be the GLOBAL phenomenon, ratings hit, or awards juggernaut that Sex and the City was, is, and will always be.

[@MsCurry-Biggers]

Mara isn’t making any sense. She’s literally had a show on OWN and you’d think you could link up with Tyler Perry and use his studios to film the movie. Am I wrong?

[@Tiajones333]

She could just do the movie on a streaming app sense people don't want to fund it

[@dionneking8]

mara should be wealthy..... but we need to help her financially a go fund me for it or indi go go

[@vgreen1106]

I call Bullshit on Mara with this decision. In my opinion its About the fans. Mara has made enough money through her projects to fund a Girlfriends movie or at least like Best Man and do a limited series. I honestly think thats why her other projects aren't blasting off like Girlfriends. Girlfriends was/is such a treasure to Our Community. She can do it independently and it Will excel.
