As the summer season shines onto the box office, movie grosses don’t match what they used to be in seasons past.

News kept on churning this week — from Sunday morning until end of Friday — on the Warner Bros. Discovery front.

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

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!

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.

Jennifer Lawrence is braving the Hot Ones challenge!

, 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.

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