Box Office Poison: Jennifer Lawrence’s ‘Mother!’ Crashes To Career Low $8M
Breitbart ^ | September 16, 2017 | John Nolte

Posted on 09/16/2017 7:42:37 AM PDT by EdnaMode

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 Lawrence’s 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 Hollywood’s most stridently bigoted (former) stars. The Oscar-winner’s 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-Lawrence’s venomous attacks on the customers and their intelligence (The Princess of Pro-Science blamed Trump for two hurricanes) had nothing to do with this weekend’s 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.

I don’t have an imagination warped enough to make that up.

She is claiming that man-induced climate change is causing hurricanes. I think that’s an ignorant thing to say, But, can you blame a 28 year old for believing that? Given the non-stop liberal lies of the past couple of decades.

Well, you do have to admit that before Ronald Reagen was President, there were no such things a hurricanes, and they only occur when a republican is POTUS! So maybe they're right... /s

I read the entire movie on movie spoiler. I understand why people left. I said it before, it is quite derivative. I realize I am not sophisticated enough to appreciate it, as those in Hollywood are./s

That plot is completely mindless and ridiculous. Whatever they were trying to convey, they should do it while not. Tripping or drunk.

yes.... no doubt. I don’t EVER recall a hurricane when Democrats were in office..

well.... except that ONE TIME... in 1962, when Carla WIPED OUT Southeast Texas.... I think Kennedy was President then.. but, I really don’t remember. I was only 3 1/2.

But, I DO remember being at a shelter in Houston, and sleeping on a cot.
