According to research study by The Wrap:

 

 

Rom-coms arguably saw their heyday in the late ’90s and early ’00s. Now some of the stars who powered hit movies then are helping bring the genre back, and getting their own career boost in return.
 

Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Lopez, Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts — actors who defined the genre back in the day — have all returned to rom-coms in the past year. All four have gotten a measurable lift in Parrot Analytics‘ Talent Demand score, which takes into account consumer research, streaming, downloads and social media, among other engagement.

 

Audiences watching newer works are going on to revisit classic films — think Roberts’ “Notting Hill” or Lopez’s “Maid in Manhattan.”

 

After COVID the GP really must’ve said “give me some light hearted fun instead”. Congrats to these romcom queens for reviving a nearly dying genre 

Where’s Meg Ryan, the disrespect…

Those three movies alone especially “When Harry Met Sally” the only rom com was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, puts her in the rom com queens for me and plus QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

No doubt. She is one of the most globally well-known actresses and some few goofy tweets aren't going to diminish her success as many people would like to believe

I like French Kiss and Addicted To Love too. 

Maid in Manhattan is romcom classic 

A boring movie, she wishes she could act like julia or even sandra.

You misinterpreted the title and context of this thread. It wasn't a comparison in boxoffice numbers and critical acclaim amongst these acts. Boxoffice and critics numbers ≠ Parrot Analytics‘ Talent Demand score. It's concluding research on how J.Lo, Sandy, Julia and Reese can all be attributed to the rejuvenation of a forgotten genre. J.Lo comes out on top in terms of audience demand, which goes beyond just boxoffice numbers and critical acclaim.

Marry Me was boring but Second Act was a 10/10, as feel good of a romcom as it gets

 

JLo deserves more respect. She's a good actress.

Your provocative title suggests that you wanted to make it seem like J.Lo won some sort of "competition" through this study, so I pointed out other factors such as box office numbers and critical acclaim -- which suggest otherwise. 

Shotgun Wedding was great film!

Both were bad. I liked Shotgun Wedding though. 

Her success in 3 industries is unprecedented 

 

She keeps on winning 

Not like she's released any good romcoms in a while, but her peak of Shall We Dance, The Wedding Planner, Monster-In-Law, Maid in Manhattan were slays

I don’t think there’s anything “provocative” about it. As for the “competition”, are you new to ATRL? We compare individuals here all the time with their peers, it ain’t new. Box office numbers and critical acclaim is just that, there’s more to the business to be successful which makes up someone’s demand.

You don't have to think it. You saying she reigns supreme amongst these rom-com stars suggests otherwise, especially when nothing of the sort is even mentioned in the original study you linked to. That study also takes into account social media, which JLo is all over, for better or worse. I'll take box office numbers, which shows who can put people's behinds into seats, over a study from Parrot Analytics.

The title of this thread, and me saying that, in relation to the context of the research by The Wrap / Parrot Analytics (and by watching the linear regression on that graph) does make sense, though. 

 

Parrot Analytics is reputable and accepted by industry trades and created by executives within the industry yet it's not good enough for you. This topic is not about boxoffice numbers. We're living in the streaming age baby.

All that and it still doesn't change the fact that Sandra reigns supreme with box office and critics for their latest rom-coms.  I'm glad J.Lo reigns supreme according to this specific study for Parrot Analytics' Talent Demand score. 

Where’s Jennifer Aniston?

Ok, and I’m happy for Sandra that she’s pulling those boxoffice numbers. I wasn’t trying to negate that fact. You just fail to see and downplay how the Talent Demand score is actually a positive thing and how demand for J.Lo is higher on that. Let’s agree to disagree. Haters will be haters.

They both haven’t released any romcoms recently. The research is about how high demand is for these lead actresses in recently released romcoms and how they helped reignite popularity of their older romcoms.

You knew what you were doing with that title and I decided to add additional data to the mix. Haters will be haters.
