Jennifer Lopez dominates streaming with Netflix and Amazon hits

She is one of the cinema stars who swapped the big screen for the small one. The move to streaming was a beneficial and necessary step because Jennifer Lopez no longer had prominent roles in Hollywood. Now, mainly thanks to Netflix productions, she is back on top.

Jennifer Lopez's first streaming film, "The Mother," premiered on the Netflix platform in 2023. The action thriller received terrible reviews initially, but critics were already amazed within a few days of streaming. "The Mother" became one of the biggest hits in streaming history, recording 136 million views worldwide.

The second Netflix film starring the pop star was "Atlas." Despite being heavily criticized, this year's sci-fi production also enjoyed great popularity, with over 80 million views. Many criticisms were directed at the actress herself.

In the eyes of critics, Lopez redeemed herself in the film "Unstoppable," produced by the Amazon Prime Video platform and having its gala premiere at the Toronto festival. The actress played the mother of a disabled athlete who became a national wrestling champion. The next streaming production with Lopez will be the Netflix-produced romantic comedy "Office Romance."

There is a chance that this time it will be a good film. Netflix will finance an original project by Brett Goldstein, the star and co-writer of the excellent comedy series Ted Lasso and a two-time Emmy Award winner. Lopez will, of course, be the main character in the office romance.

There is also hope for a good film because the pop star, as an actress, has been best suited for romantic comedies. In this genre, she achieved her greatest successes on the big screen: "The Wedding Planner," "Maid in Manhattan," "Shall We Dance," and "Monster-in-Law." These films were not only very popular but also received decent reviews.
