Box Office Poison: Jennifer Lawrence’s ‘Mother!’ Crashes to Career Low $8M
Breitbart, Sep 16, 2017

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! (my review is here).

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.

So now we're going to blame the actor for a movie that, by most reality-based accounts, was a crappy concept and story to begin with? Do they think that if they cast Ann Coulter in the lead role, that it would've been a box office smash?

Typical Breitbart, of course, but it's still dishonest.

They're speaking of merely the OPENING weekend, @jmyrlefuller

She was going to suffer because she's the headliner on the film  Add Rex Reeds' scathing review calling it the worst film of the century.
People left the theater angry.

She had alienated 50% of the voting population before she even signed the contract.
