JLo was spotted checking out her latest movie at the multiplex on Friday night with fans.
Jennifer Lopez may have hit the red carpet with Ben Affleck for the Los Angeles premiere of her new film, “Marry Me,” last week, but the star was also seen slipping into a theater on the film’s opening night to see the movie with regular folks, too.
Spies told Page Six that JLo was at the AMC Century City 15 on Friday night to check out the movie along with her producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas. Sources said that Lopez mostly managed to stay incognito for the screening.
Earlier in the day on Friday, the pop star had been spotted at lunch with another producer on the film, Benny Medina, at the Bel-Air Hotel.
Meanwhile, Affleck, 49, reportedly created a personalized “Marry Me” music video for Lopez, 52, for Valentine’s Day. The former “Batman” star made a 4-minute-long video that featured various shots of the stars — dating back to their first time as a couple between 2002 and 2004 as set to Lopez’s emotional ballad from “Marry Me,” “On My Way.”
The clip was revealed in a new Lopez newsletter, called, “On the JLo.” Lopez posted a message along with the clip
: “I am going to share something very special and personal with you that normally that I would only share with my inner circle. It’s an early Valentine’s Day present from Ben. Watching it made me think about the journey of true love, it’s unexpected twists and turns, and that when it’s real, it actually can last forever.”
The star’s attendance at the AMC multiplex to see her film play with regular fans would’ve also contributed to the box office for the film. It’s rival, “Death on the Nile,” was also playing at the same multiplex.
And while “Death on the Nile” won the weekend box office, sources said that Universal was thrilled with the results of “Marry Me” — since the movie cost $23 million and also debuted over the weekend on NBCUniversal’s streaming service Peacock, which split its box office numbers.
Said a source: “‘Marry Me’ was keeping pace with the big guns over the weekend,” considering “it had a bifurcated box office” — and that women have been slow to come back to the multiplexes since the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Death on the Nile” cost about $90 million to make. Paramount’s “Jackass” also had another kick-ass weekend at the box office.
“Marry Me” — which The Post called Lopez’s “best rom com in years” — even includes a plot twist in which Page Six reveals that Lopez’s pop star character, Kat Valdez, is being cheated on by her crooner fiancé as played by Maluma, before she picks Owen Wilson out of a crowd as her unlikely groom!
