In a shock move, Jennifer Lopez has decided to pull her film, Kiss of the Spider Woman, from the SCAD Savannah Film Festival after the movie collapsed at the box office. Despite the fanfare surrounding this dramatic role for the legendary pop icon, the film amassed a dismal number in its two-week run, and now, Lopez has decided to pull out of the Savannah Film Festival. Here’s an insider scoop on the events.
Jennifer Lopez cancels SCAD appearance after box office failure
There was every reason for Kiss of the Spider Woman’s success. It was helmed by popular stars Jennifer Lopez and Diego Luna. It was also based on the 1992 stage musical, which is quite well-regarded in the community. But Kiss of the Spider Woman ended up being a disaster at the box office after earning only $1.6 million in two weeks.
“She’s done,” one insider said (via Rob Shuter), “She made the call — no pressure, no spin. She saw the flop and bailed.”
JLo, as he is known to her fans, reportedly canceled her Virtuoso Award appearance after learning the screening had been axed, as per Rob Shuter. Another insider said, “She’s not celebrating failure,…She’s pivoting.”
Others close to Jennifer Lopez have confirmed that she is not heartbroken over this. Rather, she is already planning her next move and is only looking ahead at the moment. “Jennifer doesn’t linger,” one of her friends said, “She learns, she moves, she reinvents.”
The first source added, “She dumped Spider Woman before it could drag her down…Classic JLo — she calls the shots, and she’s already on to the next big thing.”
So, it seems that Jennifer Lopez may already be on her way to the next big thing in her career. Meanwhile, Kiss of the Spider Woman will soon get a digital release date. The film additionally stars Tonatiuh, Tony Dovolani, Josefina Scaglione, Bruno Bichir, and Aline Mayagoitia, among others.
