Box Office Poison: Jennifer Lawrence’s ‘Red Sparrow’ Bottoms Out at $17 Million
Breitbart ^ | March 3, 2018 | John Nolte

Posted on 03/03/2018 8:51:42 AM PST by EdnaMode

Jennifer Lawrence’s big-budget Red Sparrow is underperforming big time at the box office. Already-modest predictions called for a $20 million opening. As of now, it looks like $17 million, which is a disaster for a product that, with promotion and advertising, cost in the neighborhood of $120 million. This is also another disaster for Lawrence, whose star has declined swiftly since she revealed herself to be an anti-Christian bigot and a divisive, mean-spirited, left-wing jerk.

Her last big film, mother!, opened on 2400 screens to just $7.5 million. Prior to that, even with Chris Pratt on the poster, Passengers couldn’t open to $15 million. Hollywood should have taken notice of Lawrence’s career decline when her last two Hunger Games sequels opened to much lower numbers than the previous two, which is the exact opposite of what happened with Harry Potter and Twilight.

Deadline has it finishing as low as $16 million. Not very good considering the budget and money spent on marketing.

…Lawrence, whose star has declined swiftly since she revealed herself to be an anti-Christian bigot and a divisive, mean-spirited, left-wing jerk.… not to mention being a middle school dropout and utter nitwit.

Taking time off to “fix democracy”...am sure that comes as a relief to the Hollywood perverts who view her as *box office* poison.

She just had to be a wise-a** and make horrible political statements which are already wrecking what could have been a brilliant career in cinema. She is uneducated in addition to being unwise. When her looks go, she will have nothing left.

I think an old saying can be used to describe what is happening. She got too big for her britches. Not sure if she can fix it. Finding her roots and moral grounding would be a good start. Also getting off the drugs and booze wouldn’t hurt too. While some may be able to handle it, it seems to only make her worse. Not Lindsey Lohan bad but in that direction.

An actor needs to keep an aura of mystery so they can be effective in selling their roles. She came out and spread her legs for everyone to see. Now all we see on the screen is just an ignorant nasty know-it-all with a geat looking facade.

Why should anybody pay when it is certain that the nude clips will show up on the Internet like yesterday?

She might be needing to go finish high-school and get ready for her next career, as a burger-flipper or supermarket cashier. Or, if she has any kind of smarts, she should take the money she’s earned so far from acting, and open up a McDonald’s.

Either way, she’s not going to be getting any money from this conservative and millions like me. She’s Delta at a personal level.

She hasn’t been the same since she started palling around with Amy Schumer.

Plus, Hollywood decision makers have long memories and won’t soon forget her complaints about pay equality. In the short term at least, her future doesn’t look too appealing.

*sigh* Celebrities... Is there ANYTHING they don’t know?

The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance.

QUOTES by ROBERT A. HEINLEIN

Robert A. Heinlein Quotes and Sayings!:

“[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously-after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and sub-literate every time he/she opens his/her mouth.”

— Robert A. Heinlein

She will be taking off more than a year now to fix democracy. Ah, the old democracy fix. Should make a movie about it.

Jennifer Lawrence = Box Office Poison

Whoever hires her deserves to take a financial bath. But, not to worry, Lawrence still walks with HER paycheck.
