You guys worry about YOUR own salary and inflation in your own country, meanwhile, Jennifer makes a project out of her own pocket for 20 million and sells it to Amazon for 50 million. And her tour tickets haven't even gone on sale yet!!!

Amazon Purchase (50M) - JLo's pocket (20M) = 30 M  

 

She always win?

Thats what you do when you're a Legend ... Business woman

Fixed.

 

And yeah, of course, we knew she had to self-fund the project, she doesn't have a label to back it up and she pitched the project to many streamers before landing a deal with Amazon.

 

Seems like a well thought and executed project so I hope it makes some sort of noise outside stan twitter

It's JLo last album/last era of her pop star career.

It absolutely is not her last era.

 

An album like this - yes. But her music career is continuing.

 

[Tudors]

The fact that she paid for it does not make me want to watch it even more. I still don't. Make movies girl

This is by choice. She doesn't want labels earning from her endorsements, tours, PAs, etc. which is what they would do if she signed a new deal with any of them now.

 

If she was open to that, then all of the majors would sign her immediately.

Poor husband having to listen to those demos

she paid $20M for 1300 streams

This response would be funny if it actually made sense. The movie isn't out on streaming yet and it will definitely get over 1,300 streams. Are you really delusional enough to pretend it won't be streamed on Prime? Even Shotgun Wedding did well on the platform and it was awful.

Also, if you're referring to the number of streams that the YouTube audio for the "Can't Get Enough" remix with Latto received in an hour, the song has over 3.6 million streams already on YouTube:

 

 

And the original has over 9.3 million:

In the last 20 years they have spent what? 4 years together? And she's making that movie for him after being back together for a year? That's insane to me

They were together in 2002-2004 and now again from 2021 to present.

And after that ATRL won't put her in the ATRL banner ? @insomniac

Don’t tag me on this. They will put her on a banner. 🤞

A potential partner had pulled out, she’d said, because they didn’t understand the thing. 

..... Didn't understand? What's not to understand about this project? She's not doing something avant-garde here

 

It's far more likely that an investor would pull out because they don't have faith in the project after seeing the plans/early content.

The movie took longer than a year to plan/make so I'm not too far off.

Fix sth else cuz you aint right here ...

 

She doesnt need any label to film a movie ... she has her own successful production company too.

[gatito]

360 deals are not the only contracts available for artists and labels, be serious. Jennifer could've signed a distribution deal without having to compromise on her other business ventures easily. She doesn't have a deal simply because she doesn't want to have to record albums to breakeven costs, hence why she said she believes this might be her last album. Music is simply not something she can make a profit of as of right now (i.e. her streaming numbers)

Nobody needs a label or a studio to film a film but let's not pretend she didn't fund the project because her associate producers bailed on her last minute. It's brave that she decided to it regardless because some other people would've simply cancelled the whole thing.

 

This is still an investment for her, if she wanted to release this for the love of art she would've released it on YouTube and called it a day.  Amazon probably acquired the project because they saw potential in it and maybe because JLo gave them a hit movie a few years ago.
