Although the entertainment media will never admit it, will do everything in its sycophantic power to write all around it (see: Line, Dead), the chickens have finally come home to roost for Jennifer Lawrences hateful mouth. The once-bright superstar who could open even a poorly reviewed piece of low-budget horror-junk like House at the End of the Street to $12.2 million, has just hit a devastating career low (for a wide release), a humiliating $8 million opening for her latest, the critically-lauded, psychological horror-thriller Mother!
This is a catastrophe for Lawrence, one of Hollywoods most stridently bigoted (former) stars. The Oscar-winners hateful attacks on Christians, conservatives, President Trump and his supporters have chipped away at her popularity going back to 2014, but no one expected this, expected anything close to $8 million, to single digits. At worst, Mother! was projected to squeak in at $12 million.
As the bootlicker media attempts to convince themselves that social justice warrior-Lawrences venomous attacks on the customers and their intelligence (The Princess of Pro-Science blamed Trump for two hurricanes) had nothing to do with this weekends career catastrophe, I want you to keep two words in mind
Crimson and Peak.
Almost exactly two years ago, in October of 2015, a gothic horror film created by auteur Guillermo del Toro opened wide on 2,984 screens. With a 71% fresh rating from critics and a couple of respected but mid-level stars (Jessica Chastain, Charlie Hunnam), Crimson Peak opened to $13 million.
Two years later, a gothic horror film created by auteur Darren Aronofsky opened wide on 2,368 screens. With a 70% fresh rating from critics and starring Oscar-winner and supposed superstar Jennifer Lawrence, along with Oscar-winner Javier Bardem and the long-established Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer, Mother! bottomed out with a pathetic $8 million.

The ironic thing is the anti-Christian crowd always inversely describe and attribute to the Biblical God Satanic and un-Godly attributes; while presenting Satanic/Luciferian values as all wise and good. More projection - every time.
Here’s hoping she goes broke. Actions have consequences.
What is the movie about?
I watched the trailer on YouTube after reading about the film. It just looked stupid. Breathtakingly stupid. And no amount of special blood-bath effects can make me give a rat’s rear about a film. Violence is no more suspense than sex is love.
I’d rather go to the local city dump and contemplate the meaning of life than give money to these buttheads and their pretentious drivel. But maybe that is why my last visit to a movie theater was about 15 years ago (The Return of the King).
Even the rare good movie just seems better watched a few months later, in my home, on my 32” TV. Guess I’m at an age where I like to hit “pause”, go take a pee, get another cup of coffee, and hit “play”...
Many of the duds in the US manage to recoup some of their losses outside the US.
Many of the duds go straight to Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Her performance as Mystique went straight downhill.
That’s just it. Now Hollywood makes movies more for foreign markets than US markets.
Her best option now is social media porn.
I’ve been told by people who claim to know “the business of Hollywood” that is where the “real money” is made.
I have no idea if its true. It does explain why there is nothing worth seeing.
Lol
According to a report, white filmgoers accounted for only 50% of movie ticket sales in the US and Canada last year. I have a feeling it will be lower this year. Comic book and horror films (which appeal mostly to young men under 25) are what is keeping the domestic box office going this year.
Politics for the left is revealed religion. It is greater than money. Money is its grease. Now they are trapped. They cannot raise the money to promote their religion. SAD!~
Probably today or tomorrow.
“Violence is no more suspense than sex is love.”
Quote of the day. Thank you.
Great post, but this strategy carries you only so far when the product stinks.
My husband put on the hunger games a few weeks ago and it bored me to sleep. The acting was terrible.
I can’t ever see watching this one.
Shut up and read your lines, Jenny. You will have a better career that way. Until your looks fade and you get replaced by next year's model.
Thanks Celerity...
