“JLo loses one battle, she wins three more”: Amid Divorce Drama With Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez Secures a New Achievement With Her Poorly-rated Film
Jennifer Lopez has been in the spotlight a lot lately, with constant media coverage about rumored divorce from husband Ben Affleck and her recent canceled tour. Despite facing a rough patch in her personal life, JLo has a surprising win on the professional front.
Even though her romantic comedy Marry Me didn’t make a lot of money in theaters in 2022, it has become really popular on streaming services this year. It has cracked Netflix’s Top 10 most-watched list, showing that sometimes, a second chance can be all it takes.
The film is about Kat Valdez (played by Lopez), a famous singer who gets dumped by her fiancé right before their live wedding show. She randomly picks a math teacher named Charlie (played by Owen Wilson) from the crowd and marries him instead. It’s all about how these two totally different people fall in love unexpectedly.
Jennifer Lopez Film Scores Win Despite Poor Ratings
Marry Me premiered in theaters in 2022 and failed to meet expectations. With a budget of $23 million, the film only managed to rake in $50.5 million worldwide. It even falls short of the estimated break-even point of $70 million (as reported by Box Office Mojo). However, the story takes a dramatic turn on the streaming platform.
The good news is: Marry Me made it into Netflix‘s Top 10 most-watched movies last week. This is quite a feat, especially since the film was only streaming in four countries. It follows established titles — A Family Affair, Trigger Warning and Kiss the Girls — to become the platform’s fourth most-watched movie. Even JLovers are happy about this achievement. Check out their reactions:
even when JLo looses one battle, she wins three more 😭

Critics had different opinions about Marry Me, but people watching it seem to really like its funny jokes and sweet message. The movie shows us that love can surprise you, even in weird situations. If you’re into JLo and rom-coms, Marry Me is definitely a must-see!
Jennifer Lopez is Unstoppable Despite Challenges
The 54-year-old is obviously going through a lot these days. However, she is unstoppable and will make a grand comeback. She proved that age is just a number when she dropped a scorching hot teaser on Instagram for the music video remix of her hit song Can’t Get Enough, featuring Latto (earlier this year). The focus was on the pop star’s unbelievably stylish outfits.
The music video featured a variety of steamy looks. It included a daring black bikini paired with a fedora and hoops that showcased her toned physique. In other parts of the preview, Lopez wore a shiny red coat and matching red lipstick. She also sported a sequined two-piece set and a beige corset. The talented star defies all odds, and she shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
