Her spending all that money and convincing a major streamer to back it up all when not a living soul is going to watch it is admirable honestly. Like come on show the girls how to flop with style queen!

Let’s see! Shotgun Wedding was the #1 most streamed new original film on Prime Video in 2023. And The Mother was the #1 most streamed new original film on Netflix in 2023. She kind of dominates with movies on streaming, but this is kind of a different project, so let’s wait and see!

Some interesting parts from the press conference:

 

- Ben Affleck, David Meyers and Jennifer Lopez having a conversation about wanting to make the film and Ben having a sort of mentoring reaction saying they could not make something like this in this industry/get it off the ground. Which motivated her more to do exactly that.

- Jennifer tried shopping the project before production started to various companies but no one wanted to do it. She then was like “**** it, I’ll self fund it” (paraphrase), shopped it around again and *then* sold it once it was made (word is Amazon then paid $50 Million for it).

Aside from the film itself, Amazon will release a documentary called “The Greatest Love Story Never Told”, directed by Ben Affleck, which will showcase the makings of the film. 
 

Apple+ will release a live concert special of the whole This Is Me… Then record.

 

She’s such a boss for getting it all off the ground and looping in multiple streaming giants for a variety of projects surrounding the album for marketing / cross-pollination and gaining back her investments as an independent artist. She’s a Hustler indeed!

we i hope it doesn't end up like Halsey's film that earned a whopping -$20M 

[nostalgic]

The budget for this is crazy - that cinematography is gorgeous! 

[Heldenzeit]

That‘s great! Maybe someone will watch it one day.

The trailer alone has over 28 Million views, though.

It’s all Amazon’s loss now. It’s for streaming so not sure how to measure exact earnings for them. But they paid miss J.Lo for the film, so she has recouped her costs already.

Not a living soul will watch it, Behave

 

 

And JLo can Flop into oblivion and still remain with her career & status intact Not everyone has that power! 

 

The budget for this is more then most girls earn in  2-3 years 

 

A boss ***** with a boss budget! 

 

Legends only 

 

Oh and how many times has people downplayed Jen projects for them to drop and snatch every fuckers life!

 

And I guess you didn't see the record breaking numbers on streaming platforms Peacock, Amazon & netflix!.

 

Her current singles  Bombed that's true but she has a whole era and major backing & promo and a massive budget to her advantage! 

 

Even if she absolutely tanks us fans don't give a ****, our fave delivers and we can guarantee she will still promote the album for the next year like it's a Smash! That's the difference between JLo and other girls who Flop and drop of the face of the earth, Jenny doesn't and will give us a full blown era regardless

Sure okay yes all that about JLo, but what i'm really trying to figure out it is how you managed to slip that one bit past ATRL's swear censor feature 

[Yudelkis]

Can't wait, will this be available on Friday midnight or morning @insomniac ?

I gagged a bit at that word not being censored.  Show me your ways @DanceAgain

[Elusive Chanteuse]

Its giving budget and I like the choregraphy so I will tune in eventually on mute.

Why? The two songs she put out already are great and the best music she's released in a very long time. Very reminiscent of This Is Me... Then which is by far her best work to this day.

They say if Jlo shits in the woods and no one’s around to hear it happen (like any of her post-2011 albums) @insomniac will still somehow be there to lick her hole clean and write paragraphs no one reads about how good it was.

That's sucks. It looks like a great movie to see in theaters. 

I planned on taking my boyfriend as compensation for dragging me to that awful Henry Cavill and Dua movie

What the hell is your problem. Actually, I dragged her latest song This Is Me… Now and Can’t Get Enough isn’t my fave J.Lo song. But the production on both slaps. I am also one of those stans to drag her to hell and back (and people in our base too) if I don’t like something of hers. But can’t say I don’t admire the effort and coin she’s put behind this album. 
 

After 10 years, I finally get to experience a full J.Lo era with traditional rollout + epic movie and docs and whatnot. Let a gay live

Have a fun movie date night at home instead and laugh at the camp and unseriousness of it all. I think it’s gonna be a wild ride 

[Junipero]

Anyone amazed at how J.Lo is able to garner interest for practically all of her projects despite being moderately successful?

God forbid a fan is excited for his favorite artist's whole ass visual movie that she actually has the guts to release, unlike others. 
 

What a pathetic post. 

[Bey'Knight]

Go girl, give us something 

 

@BYoncé @AxelFox can yall not do this in public? That’s what basé is for.
