Jennifer Lopez continues to steamroll on streaming as the Netflix sci-fi film Atlas has clocked close to 60 million global views (or 119.4M hours viewed), keeping No. 1 hold on the streamer’s top 10 film chart for the second week in a row. It also gives the multiplatinum-selling, two-time Emmy nominee her fourth No. 1 streaming movie over the past two years after Netflix’s The Mother and Prime Video’s This Is Me Now: A Love Story and Shotgun Wedding.
Exclaimed Lopez’s producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas: “It’s time to report some true facts: A woman of color has done what few male stars have been able to do, namely having four No. 1 films in the past two years — Atlas, The Mother, This Is Me Now and Shotgun Wedding — two of them in the top 10 of all time on the two biggest streaming platforms, Netflix and Amazon.

This is not the regular feud where female besties fall out over a guy they both like, nope. The fallout between the star of “The Mother” Jennifer Lopez, and her Bff Leah Remini is a different case in that the “Saved By The Bell” actress was trying to stop her bestie from repeating the same mistake twice.
Lopez and Remini met and became BFFs in 2004. Remini knew all about Lopez’ past relationship with “Batman” actor Ben Affleck.
The “Old School” actress knew how her bestie and Affleck first got engaged in 2002 only to break up few days to their wedding in 2003. It happened that several years later when the “Marry Me” actress and the “Goodwill Hunting” actor rekindled their love, Remini was completely against it.

Last year, Jennifer Lopez starred in so-so Netflix actioner "The Mother," in which she sniped her way through wave after wave of bad guys. Unfortunately the film marked yet another moment whereby the streaming age subsumed a former megastar into its nebulous cloud of generic "content." If "The Mother" isn't enough to convince you of such developments, just take a look at "Atlas," the latest Lopez-starring Netflix original film.
It should be said that the trailer for "Atlas" did look promising, but critics certainly aren't too impressed with this sci-fi actioner, which comes from director Brad Peyton ("San Andreas") and also stars Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, and Mark Strong. Lopez plays an AI-wary data analyst who quickly finds herself in a situation where she's forced to rely on a synthetic consciousness to survive a mission gone awry. In a reverse-"Blade Runner" scenario, Lopez's character, Atlas Shepherd, travels to...

This film quickly soared to the top spot as the most-watched movie on Netflix worldwide despite what the critics have to say about the film.

Jennifer Lopez’s recent films in her career have failed to impress fans, with many complaining about the mediocrity of the films she is participating in. Although her performances in her recent films Shotgun Wedding, and The Mother were praised, the films were considered cliche and derivative. Her latest film Atlas may be the weakest film in recent years.

The UCLA Hollywood Diversity Report, now in its 11th year, provides annual in-depth analyses of the industry — behind and in front of the camera — as well as comprehensive breakdowns of the audiences and what they’re watching in the theaters and at home.
Earlier this year, researchers for the Hollywood Diversity Report found that women and people of color drove box office numbers and were more in tune with what makes a movie a global success.

Earlier this year, researchers for UCLA’S Hollywood Diversity Report found that women and Bipoc audiences drove box office numbers in theaters. But, the impact of those demographics doesn’t stop there. The group’s latest Hollywood Diversity Report found that Bipoc audiences and women also drove viewer ratings for at-home streaming films in 2023.
For nine of the top 10 releases and 17 of the top 20 ranked by household ratings, women represented the majority of viewers for films such as “You People,” “Murder Mystery 2” and “Leave the World Behind.” Similarly, Bipoc households were overrepresented as viewers for nine of the top 10 streaming films and 18 of the top 20 streaming films, like “The Mother” (55.9%) and “You People” (50%).

In last year’s The Mother, Jennifer Lopez fought her demons deep in the Alaskan wilderness. Now, she’s launching into orbit to face her foe. In her new film Atlas, the multi-hyphenate performer plays the titular character, a government analyst who’s hurled to a distant world on a quest to defeat her oldest enemy: the robot warrior who upended her life.
“Atlas is someone who has basically shut out the world around her,” Lopez told Netflix. “She doesn’t trust anybody and doesn’t want anything to do with AI.” Unfortunately, on her mission in the far reaches of space, Atlas won’t have much of a choice — stranded in a high-powered armor suit, she’s forced to confront her fear of technology by allying herself with it.

On the movie screen, Jennifer Lopez is known for being a romantic comedy queen in films like "Maid in Manhattan," "Monster-in-Law," and "Marry Me." However, on Netflix, she appears to be pursuing a wholly different crown and going after action movie and genre glory. Sure, Lopez has made her share of genre thrillers, especially early in her career: "Money Train," "Anaconda," "U Turn," and "Out of Sight," most notably. Yet it's her turn in 2023's "The Mother" that marked her debut as a fully-fledged action star and now she's following that up with a lead performance in a big-budget sci-fi shoot 'em up, if the new trailer for Netflix's "Atlas" is any indication.
As a co-producer as well as star of "Atlas," Lopez has put together a pretty promising team to bring her next Netflix-distributed action venture to life. Alongside co-stars Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, and Mark Strong, the...

Slasher film Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey swept the five categories it was nominated in for at the 44th annual Razzies, which “honor” the worst of filmmaking. The awards were announced today.
‘Winnie the Pooh’ won the Razzie in the picture, director, screenplay, screen couple and remake/rip-off/sequel categories.

With Covid lockdowns and shuttered cinemas and the dual wallop of the writers’ and actors’ strikes, it’s been a rough few years for independent movies. But the end of strike action last November has triggered a rebound in the indie market. After a strong showing in Sundance, buyers and sellers are looking to Berlin’s European Film Market to provide proof this recovery has legs.
Early signs are promising, with a flood of new projects across all budgets and genres. CAA Media Finance alone has half a dozen finished films on sale and around 20 big packages, including sci-fi actioner Afterburn with Dave Bautista and Samuel L. Jackson attached, selling together with Black Bear; the drama A Big Bold Beautiful Journey from After Yang and Pachinko director Kogonada, featuring Colin Farrell and a post-Barbie Margot Robbie, that 30West and Neon International are jointly handling, and the Michelle Yeoh action thriller The Mother alongside AGC International.
