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 think a lot of the directors, producers and studios may be encouraging the actors to get political. Plus people in the industry don’t seem to believe that anyone is boycotting them due to political comments by the actors. They blame bad reviews and Netflix.

Gays run the entertainment industry, and it cannot be denied that it has been the number one factor in changing attitudes towards homosexuality.

The plot follows a young woman whose tranquil life with her husband at their country home is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious couple.”

Jennifer needs to shut up and act. She’s not an overly scholarly person so I don’t care for her opinions on global warming or most anything related to the sciences.

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. Not remarkable when you consider the reality of existence. There is Truth (God) and there is every other condition. When every other condition is celebrated Truth is perceived as Evil.

Agreed, especially with shows like Modern Family and Orange is the New Black which are so popular.

So, you think a lunch box with Jennifer Lawrence’s nude selfie would sell?

I’ll take Amy Adams any day of the week over that ditz.

Amy Adams is a Trump hater too, and was a big Obama supporter.

On a physical level...waaaay sexier than Jennifer Lawrence.

Looks better...acts better. I also seem to remember her giving up a first class seat to a soldier on a commercial flight; so that helps.

No one is perfect.

Have you really listened to what she said? Or just the Fox News headlines? Here is the interview:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fPpJT3QRRnk

At no time does she blame Trump, or Trump voters for the Hurricanes. That’s an inference made by otters, it’s NOT what she was saying. 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. Do you think she’s the only girl her age that believes this?

Jennifer is guilty of climate ignorance, of picking up an increasingly liberal bent during her recent residency in la la land, and of making a SHIT movie here. But, she is a good person at heart. MUCH better than most of the trash in Hollywood.

I live in Louisville, where she is from. She was raised in my church, and is the same age as my younger son. They actually attended school together, briefly. Hence, I’ve followed her career pretty closely. It’s been a remarkable rise. She has always given back to our community. And often not in “public ways. I hate that she’s gotten involved in this disgusting movie. But, I suspect she will bounce back.

If she’s “poison”, I’d take it. :-)

I bought my Grand daughter the “Hunger Game” books after reading them. The books were good in a conservative way, the flicks weren’t bad either.

I agree that the books preordain the rat future.

The movie suck as a whole. It wasn’t Lawrences fault. It was the entire production.

Her career is far from over. She will win more awards.

If she does a good movie, the money will come back.

> She can probably extend her career by doing one or two nekkid films.

Why would anyone want to pay money to see that when you can see her hooha on the internet for free??
