Marry Me Has Become A Netflix Success At The Perfect Time

Jennifer Lopez Has Had A Recent Notable Career Setback

Along with her current Netflix sci-fi hit Atlas, which left the Top 10 chart just two weeks earlier, Marry Me could assistance increase Jennifer Lopez’s profession in the course of a time when she has suffered a notable setback. She lately cancelled a planned summer time tour advertising her new album This Is Me… Now. While the officially announced cause was that she had decided to commit extra time with her loved ones, the tour had reportedly been promoting significantly fewer tickets than anticipated.

This results also comes in spite of the all round disappointing functionality of the film when it was released in 2022. While it earned extra than $50 million and became the initially rom-com to hit No. 1 at the box workplace more than Valentine’s Day weekend given that About Last Night in 2014, its $23 million spending budget suggests that its break-even point was most likely $46 million, so it likely did not turn significantly of a profit. Marry Me evaluations have been also lukewarm all round, earning the film a 61% score on Rotten Tomatoes, putting it just 1 % above the threshold to be deemed “Fresh.”

In addition to boosting the movie’s profile in basic, the streaming results of the rom-com could also lead to renewed interest in the Marry Me soundtrack, which attributes a number of original songs performed by Lopez. While this may possibly not be sufficient to reignite basic interest in the star’s tour, it highlights her capabilities as a musical performer and may possibly increase interest in her other albums like This Is Me… Now.
