Tyler Perry's new movie "The Single Moms Club" bombed this weekend earning $8.3 million.
The film starring Nia Long ("Big Momma's House") and Amy Smart ("The Butterfly Effect") was predicted to take in nearly double.
It's Perry's first movie to debut at under $10 million, making it his worst opening ever at theaters.
"The Single Moms Club" is the last film Perry will release with Lionsgate as he focuses on his television deal at Oprah's OWN network.
He already has three successful series on the network — "The Haves and the Have Nots,""For Better or Worse," and "Love Thy Neighbor"— all of which have helped propel ratings on OWN.
His next series will be based on "The Single Moms Club" film.
