Puck’s Matt Belloni has a few box-office projections for us. We’ve covered most of these, but not the upcoming Jennifer Lawrence starring “No Hard Feelings.”
The raunchy comedy is currently set to open with a very light $10 million opening. I’ve been looking around at what the budget might be for this film, but the only, tenuous, number I could find was $70 million.
Regardless, $10 million is very low for a film with a star like J-Law. She’s clearly not the draw that she once was. Yes, it’s Rated R, but recent R-rated comedies like “Good Boys” and “Blockers” opened with $20+ million.
Comedies need good word of mouth to get some legs at the box-office. “No Hard Feelings” is still under embargo and will only be screened for a majority of critics next Wednesday. Two days later, the film opens.
