Jennifer Lawrence's Mom Sold Star's Used Toilet on Craigslist, & It Went to Surprising Buyer

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter In another universe, “The Flash,” once touted by its own studio as “one of the greatest superhero movies of all time,” would be towering over the box office with ease in its second weekend of release. But in this universe, audiences are flat-out rejecting the Warner Bros. movie, starring Ezra Miller as the eponymous, timeline-spanning speedster. Rather than taking a victory lap, the comic book adventure is cratering in third place with $15.3 million from 4,265 North American theaters, marking a brutal 73% decline from its unimpressive $55 million debut. That’s a far bigger drop than recent DC adaptations, including “Black Adam” (59%) and “Shazam: Fury of the Gods” (69%), which ended up as huge money losers for the studio.

J. Kim Murphy “No Hard Feelings” came out on top of the domestic box office on its opening day, bedding $6.25 million in Friday and Thursday preview screenings from 3,208 venues. Meanwhile, the top spot for the weekend is a battle between animated adventures; both “Elemental” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” are staying above “The Flash,” which looks to be collapsing in its second outing. Heading into the weekend, “No Hard Feelings” was projected to launch with a mild $12 million. The raunchy R-rated Jennifer Lawrence vehicle is already outrunning those estimates, now forecasting a debut of $15 million or so. “No Hard Feelings” may lose pace to holdovers as the weekend unfolds, but box-office-king-for-a-day is certainly a higher honor than most studio comedies have achieved of late. The once-prolific genre has fallen far from theatrical relevance in recent years, with the past few months containing an expansive slate of box office disappointments and failures, from “The Machine” to “Easter Sunday” to “Bros.”

Jennifer Lawrence strips down for a nude scene in her new movie No Hard Feelings, and that isn’t the only raunchy moment to come from the R-rated comedy.

Jennifer Lawrence says she’s not always comfortable with Method actors.

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor SPOILER ALERT: This story contains descriptions of specific scenes in “No Hard Feelings,” in theaters now. In “No Hard Feelings,” Jennifer Lawrence plays a 32-year-old Uber driver in the Hamptons whose car has been repossessed because she failed to pay her property taxes. She ends up answering a Craigslist ad posted by a wealthy couple (Laura Benanti and Matthew Broderick), offering a car in return for a woman to date their socially awkward 19-year-old son (Andrew Barth Feldman) to prepare him for college life. The movie is a raunchy R-rated comedy that sees Lawrence’s character, Maddie, fully naked on a beach.

Jennifer Lawrence is not a fan of Tom Sandoval — at all! In fact, she dislikes the 40-year-old reality star to the point where she cannot stand the thought of anyone playing him in a hypothetical film!

Sony’s new comedy “No Hard Feelings” is making a respectable run at the box office.

Laura Benanti pulled back the curtain on costar Jennifer Lawrence and revealed she’s “more” fun than fans probably think.

, famously, a Bravo superfan so of course she has . Asked who she would cast in a movie about the Vanderpump Rules drama, the actor had a razor sharp response, as usual.In a red carpet interview with the Associated Press on June 21, Lawrence paused to consider the theoretical stars of Scandoval: The Movie. “Oh my God, I don’t know,” she said.

Sony’s mission to return comedy to the big screen with the R-rated Jennifer Lawrence movie No Hard Feelings began Thursday, when the film grossed $2.15 million from showtimes that began at 4 p.m. at 2,745 locations. The pic hopes to do around $12M this weekend in what will be second session where Warner Bros’ misfire The Flash hopes not take a -70% tumble. At the low end that’s $16.5M. A good hold will be off 55% to north of $24M.

Jennifer Lawrence’s much-discussed return to studio star vehicles, in a film being pitched as a canary in the coal mine for the theatrical strength of star-driven comedies, got off to a promising start as Sony’s “No Hard Feelings” earned $2.15 million in Thursday previews. Meanwhile, Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City,” which shattered records for a per-theater-average for a six-screen (or more) release last weekend, expanded into 1,675 theaters with $1.1 million for Focus Features.

Jordan Moreau Jennifer Lawrence’s new R-rated comedy, “No Hard Feelings,” hits theaters this weekend and made $2.15 million in previews at the box office. The raunchy comedy from Sony is predicted to open with a soft $12 million in its opening weekend, which may not bode well considering its $45 million budget. It’s been a tough time for R-rated comedies at the box office lately, with the once profitable genre nearly going extinct. Besides this year’s “Cocaine Bear,” which made $87 million worldwide, the last few comedies, like Sony and Bert Kreischer’s “The Machine,” Billy Eichner’s “Bros,” Sebastian Maniscalco and Robert De Niro’s “About My Father” and Jo Koy’s “Easter Sunday,” haven’t not found much box office success.

Jennifer Lawrence has a different sort of relationship with the paparazzi since she welcomed her son Cy.

Brian Cox has been quite candid this year about how he feels about method actors, from his “Succession” co-star Matthew Strong to Daniel Day-Lewis. It turns out he’s not the only actor that looks askance at the acting style.

Jennifer Lawrence is back on the big screen with a hilarious comedy and fans will likely be rushing to theaters this weekend to see No Hard Feelings!

Jennifer Lawrence didn’t mince words when revealing who she’d like to see portray Tom Sandoval on the big screen.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Jennifer Lawrence sobbed in hot sauce-related pain during an interview on “Hot Ones,” in which she also expressed nerves over working with a Method actor. Lawrence has worked with such acting heavyweights as Leonardo DiCaprio (“Don’t Look Up”) and Christian Bale (“American Hustle”) throughout her career, but no one has gone full Method to the point that Lawrence felt uncomfortable approaching them for a conversation. “I would be nervous to work with somebody who is Method,” Lawrence said. “I would have no idea how to talk to them. Do I have to be in character? That would make me nervous. I haven’t seen another [acting] process that I’ve been curious about. You don’t know about them all the time.”

Jennifer Lawrence confirmed Liam Hemsworth’s claim that she ate smelly foods like tuna or garlic before kissing scenes with him in the “Hunger Games: Mockingjay” films.“Hot Ones” host Sean Evans posed the question to the “No Hard Feelings” actress in video released Thursday, and she responded nonchalantly.“It was not intentional. It was just, like, what I was eating,” she told Evans.

Jennifer Lawrence is braving the Hot Ones challenge!

No Hard Feelings spoilers follow. As soon as the first trailer for No Hard Feelings came out, there was one big recurring complaint across the internet: this is a total double standard, right? "Imagine a film where a 34 year old man is hired to take the v-card of a 19 year old girl," reads one post in the Movies subreddit, and it's hardly the only one. "That film would never, ever, be made in 2023.

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent The Filming ItalySardegna Festival that kicks off Italy’s summer moviegoing season will play a prominent role in the ongoing push to lure Italians back into movie theaters, just as the country’s box office is starting to gain traction.    A robust roster of talents from Hollywood and Italy and a solid lineup of premieres are booked for this event, which combines film and TV and unspools June 22-25 in the Forte Village resort near Cagliari, capital of Sardegna (Sardinia in English). The fest is set to take place just as the Italian government starts to invest €20 million ($22 million) to promote moviegoing through a campaign called Cinema Revolution, under which cinema tickets will be half-price for a limited time. 

Jennifer Lawrence is enjoying a sunny day out in NYC.

“The Flash” continues to do brisk business at the box office.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director In the upcoming comedy “No Hard Feelings,” Jennifer Lawrence plays a down-on-her-luck Uber driver who accepts a job trying to seduce a 19-year-old whose helicopter parents don’t want him heading off to college as a virgin. The task of playing the Oscar winner’s male lead in a raunchy R-rated comedy fell to Andrew Barth Feldman, best known until now for his stint on Broadway in “Dear Evan Hanson.” Feldman was already a student at Harvard University when the offer to join Lawrence in “No Hard Feelings” was made. “I mean, when Andrew left his audition, the door closed and we all looked at each other and we were like, ‘That’s our — that’s Percy,”” Lawrence recently told Entertainment Tonight. “Then they were like there’s one complication, he’s supposed to go to Harvard, and we were like, ‘Is that a joke?’ He was fully the character, so I called him and said, ‘Andrew, I have really bad news you’re not gonna be able to finish your semester at Harvard.’ He’s gonna have to defer, or whatever college school words are.”

In a saner world, we would have already had a dozen Jennifer Lawrence comedies.

, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Andrew Barth Feldman, may seem absurd, there is some truth to it. In the movie, Lawrence plays Maddie Barker, who is on the brink of losing her home. This is when she finds an intriguing job listing: helicopter parents looking for someone to bring their introverted 19-year-old son, Percy Becker (Feldman), out of his shell before college.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Can an R-rated comedy that draws big laughs still bring in outsized ticket sales at the box office? Jennifer Lawrence’s “No Hard Feelings” will put that question to the test as the raunchy funny film opens over the weekend in 3,000 North American theaters, where it’s expected to earn a tepid $12 million in its debut. That’s not a terrible result at a time in which theatrical comedies, especially of the R-rated variety, have become something of endangered species. But it also wouldn’t be a great start considering its star power, $45 million budget and prime June release date. Earlier this year, Universal’s wild R-rated “Cocaine Bear” opened to $23.2 million — and (with all due respect to the drugged-up grizzly) that film wasn’t headlined by one of the biggest names in Hollywood.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson baffled fans with a gravity-defying Loewe mini-dress that she wore during a photoshoot for brother Alex's gin brand Renais. And earlier this month, Jennifer Lawrence walked the Madrid premiere for her new movie, No Hard Feelings, in another Loewe outfit, but this time it was constructed to look like it was two-dimensional when photographed from the front. But they're not the first A-listers to try on the trend for size.

Jennifer Lawrence is at the place in her career where she can do, basically, whatever project she wants. Whether it’s an indie drama that she produces, such as “Causeway,” or a raunch R-rated comedy like “No Hard Feelings,” Lawrence is really able to flex whatever acting muscles she wants.

More than a year after their son’s birth, Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney have started talking about expanding their family again.

Jennifer Lawrence is clarifying a story she told.

from Loewe’s autumn/winter 2023 collection, she's all about muted tones on the red carpet right now. And J.Law’s latest looks are in keeping with this theme: she just wore two all-white looks in one day.At the New York premiere of her latest rom-com, , the actor wore an ivory off-the-shoulder dress from Dior’s pre-fall 2023 collection, which showed in Mumbai earlier this year.

Had Katniss Everdeen and the “X-Men” series never gotten in the way — or, had we still lived in an era when superheroes or fantasy franchises were not seen as status symbols on the resume of a young superstar — Jennifer Lawrence would have already starred in numerous rom-coms by now, à la the Julia Roberts of the 90s. Especially after winning the Oscar for one a decade ago, with David O.

After her return to the world of character-driven indie cinema last year with the drama “Causeway,” which she also produced, it seemed Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence had found her way back to the kind of grounded cinema on which she cut her teeth. Yet her latest film as star-producer, “No Hard Feelings,” directed by Gene Stupnitsky (“Good Boys, “Bad Teacher”), is about as hard a pivot as is cinematically possible.

Jennifer Lawrence‘s mom did not sell her used toilet on Craigslist. After Lawrence gave an interview in which she said that her mom, Karen, sold her toilet to writer Lee Eisenberg via the online platform, she clarified the story to ET’s Rachel Smith.
