Jennifer Lopez’s much-anticipated music film, “Kiss of the Spider Woman”, got released theatrically on October 10, 2025, in the United States. The singer was really excited about this project. She reportedly mentioned that the role was something she’s been “waiting” for her whole life.
However, J.Lo is now facing “the toughest blow of her career,” as the film appears to be struggling at the box office.
Jennifer Lopez feels like she ‘can’t catch a break’ after what happened to her movie, says source
Lopez was really excited about her musical film, “Kiss of the Spider Woman.” The Hustlers actor reportedly expressed she was “floored” when she read the script. She also added that the role was something she’s wanted to do her whole life.
So, it’s natural that Lopez, who plays Aurora in the movie, is taken aback by the fact that the film didn’t do well at the box office. As reported by #ShutterScoop, Lopez is facing one of the “toughest blow of her career,” because the movie’s reviews weren’t that great.
The movie has a production budget of about $35 million. However, sources are projecting that it could open with just $1.5 to $2.5 million, which is quite low for a film of this profile.
According to insiders, she’s “absolutely heartbroken” that the film didn’t receive the opening she was expecting. Her heartbreak is understandable, as the actor invested too much effort into the role.
Lopez allegedly thought this would be her big comeback. A source said, “She poured her soul into this. She thought it would be her A Star Is Born moment.”
The movie first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2025 and received a lukewarm response. It finally got its theatrical release on October 10, 2025, by Lionsgate Films, Roadside Attractions, and LD Entertainment.
Lopez promoted the movie extensively; however, the early reviews weren’t great, leaving the singer allegedly “heartbroken.”
The source further added, “Jennifer feels like she can’t catch a break. Between the movie, her tour struggles, and the Ben drama, it’s been one hit after another — and not the kind she wants.”
Even though the film didn’t receive the opening she hoped for, people close to the singer know that she’s a “fighter.” They claimed that “she’ll turn this pain into power.”
