Jennifer Lopez felt like Angelina Jolie

Jennifer Lopez (JLo) apparently likes to feel herself like Angelina Jolie when she was married to Marc Anthony. This is due to the time JLo had six children, including four stepchildren Marc. 

JLo has a six-year-old twins named Max and Emme, are the fruit of her love with Marc Anthony. In addition, the singer of hits Booty also has a stepson that is 20-year-old Ariana, Cristian is 13 years old, and 10-year-old Ryan. From this, JLo felt he should give a sense of her life as Angelina Jolie have three adopted children and three biological children with her fiance, Brad Pitt. 

"When I am married to Marc, he (Marc) has two sons, a daughter and a stepdaughter. So've got four children, coupled with our twins, so the total is six," Jennifer said as quoted by Female First , Monday (06/23/2014). 

"When I walk around with them, I feel like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. We got a taste of it and we really like to spend time together," he added. 

Jennifer Lopez has previously admitted that she is a mother who is strict with the rules. The 44-year-old singer also teach their children to do good because he did not want them to grow as a spoiled child. 

Meanwhile, recently JLo and her boyfriend, Casper Smart decided to split up. Reportedly rift between them because JLo reneged on his promise to help Casper career in film and television.

The Stanley Tucci/Kelsey Grammar drama Transformers: Age of Extinction scored the biggest single day of the year yesterday earning a strong $41.6 million. That includes $8.75m worth of Thursday previews for the fourth Michael Bay robot-smashing adventure, which also means that the film scored the biggest “normal business hours” Friday of the year ($31.25m) as well. That the film had a lower Thursday number than Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($10.5m) and Godzilla ($9.3m) but a higher opening day than both ($36m for Captain America 2 and $38m for Godzilla) means that the film is indeed playing to general and casual audiences at a slightly higher level than those comparably fanbase-driven properties.  The Paramount Pictures (a division of Viacom, Inc.) release is still looking at potentially being the first $100m debut of 2014, although an opening  around $90m-$95m wouldn’t exactly be cause for shame and disgrace either.



For the record, the biggest Fri-Sun debut of the year as of today is Captain America: The Winter Soldier with $95m.  The weekend multiplier is tough to figure out because, stop me if you’ve heard this one before, this is the first Transformers film to open on a Friday. The other three entries all debuted on Tuesday or Wednesday, meaning that much of the “must-see” demographic was on to other things by Friday. As such, Transformers had a sky-high 3.11 weekend multiplier ($70.5 million Fri-Sun/$22.6m Fri), Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen had a 2.9x weekend multiplier after scoring a near-record $62m Wednesday ($108.9m/$36.7m), and Transformers: Dark of the Moon had a 2.9x as well ($97.8m/$32.9m). I’ll happily admit being incorrect tomorrow if need-be, but I would be shocked in this front-loaded era if Transformers: Age of Extinction pulls anywhere near a 2.9x weekend multiplier (which would be $120 million by the way).

More likely we’re looking at a 2.4x-2.7x weekend multiplier, giving the Mark Wahlberg adventure a probable weekend of between $99m and $112m. The film played 64% male and 58% 25 years-and older. The film is also crushing it overseas, having earned $30m in China alone, a record opening day for a foreign film playing in China. The film was a Chinese co-production and featured a China-set finale and a supporting role for Bingbing Li, so big business in China was all-but-guaranteed. All-told, the (depending on who you ask) $165m or $210m-budgeted film’s worldwide total after two days of international play is $121.6m, with $80m overseas. So yeah, the addition of Mark Wahlberg and those Dino Bots seems to have fended off any franchise fatigue for the moment.

There were no other new wide releases set to open against Transformers: Age of Extinction, although there were a few limited releases. Begin Again, a Mark Rufallo/Keira Knightley directed by John Carney (Once) debuted on five screens courtesy of the Weinstein Company and earned $43,304 for its trouble. Figure a probable $140,000 Fri-Sun haul for a solid $28k per-screen average.

Lionsgate also debuted Dinesh D’Souza’s America: Imagine the World Without Her, a documentary/editorial from the guy who brought us 2016: Obama’s America. I don’t have numbers for that one yet, but it will be interesting to watch as it expands wide over the July 4th weekend. Variety’s Joe Leydon reviewed it here. The best film of the weekend is Snowpiercer, Bong Joon-ho‘s superb post-apocalyptic adventure film. The Radius-TWC release, starring Chris Evans, Octavia Spencer, Tilda Swinton, and John Hurt, debuted on eight screens nationwide this weekend. Again, no numbers yet (I’ll update later), but I thought you should be aware of its existence. Mark Hughes reviewed it for Forbes here.

The rest is holdover news, and there actually is some this weekend despite the Transformers domination. Of note, Sony's  Amazing Spider-Man 2 will finally be dragged, kicking and screaming in protest, across the $200 million mark this weekend. The film has earned $704m worldwide. Heaven Is For Real will cross $90m domestic this weekend, a stunning achievement for the $12m Greg Kinnear religious drama. And 22 Jump Street earned around $5m on its third Friday, setting the stage for a $15m weekend (-45%), which will put it over the $138m domestic total for 21 Jump Street in just 17 days.

Also crossing $200 million by weekend’s end is Walt Disney's DIS +1.01% Maleficent, as the Angelina Jolie fantasy earned $2.59m yesterday, setting the stage for an $8.5m weekend (down just 33%) and a $202m domestic total. X-Men: Days of Future Past, which crossed $700m worldwide yesterday and will soon be the biggest global grosser of 2014 until Transformers 4 knocks it down, earned around $1m yesterday and should bring in around $3m for the weekend for a $223m domestic cume. Warner Bros.’ (a division of Time Warner, Inc.) Jersey Boys earned $2.25m, down a troubling 52% on its second Friday. Expect a $7.5m second weekend and a new $27m cume for the $40m Clint Eastwood musical drama.

Edge of Tomorrow took a Transformers hit, earning $1.55m (-48%) and bringing its cume to $80m. The Tom Cruise sci-fi actioner should be at around $4m for the weekend and $84m total by tomorrow.  Godzilla earned $0.23m (-59%) and should be at just under $197m domestic by tomorrow. Last weekend’s box office champ, Think Like A Man Too, earned $3.4m on its second Friday, down a horrible 72% from last Friday’s $12.1m debut. The bleeding will level off a little over the weekend but we’re still looking at a $10m second frame, down 65%. Still, the $24m Kevin Hart-and-ensemble romantic comedy should reach $48m tomorrow, doubling its budget. It’s a quick-kill, but it’s still a hit.

The Fault in Our Stars crossed $100m early last week and pulled in around $1.8m on its fourth Friday for a probable $5.5m weekend and $109m domestic total. Finally, DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon 2 earned $4.1m on its third Friday (-48%), which will likely lead to a $14m third weekend and $121m domestic total (it’s at $112m today). It’s still running about 4% behind Kung Fu Panda 2, which “disappointed” with $165m domestic before earning $665m worldwide. How to Train Your Dragon 2 is still looking at $155m-$160m domestic, but we’ll see how it flies overseas.

That’s it for today. Join us tomorrow for the weekend estimates and more holdover news. In the meantime, if you like Transformers go see Transformers. You’ll get no judgment from me. But if you don’t like Transformers films, go find something better (Edge of Tomorrow, How to Train Your Dragon 2, Fault in Our Stars, Snowpiercer, etc.) instead of whining about the state of cinema.
