NEW YORK — Here comes Madea, a few months early.

Theaters showing Tyler Perry's "The Family That Preys,” which opens today, will show a sneak peek of the third installment of his popular Madea movies, "Madea Goes to Jail.”

The movie isn't due out until Feb. 20, 2009.

"For countless fans, Madea is like family,” said Tim Palen, co-president, theatrical marketing for studio Lionsgate, of the tough-talking grandmother audiences love and critics lambaste.

In contrast to the heavily comedic Madea movies, "The Family That Preys” stars Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard in a drama about two families from different social classes.
