Jennifer Lawrence's raunchy R-rated comedy NoHardFeelings launched to $2.15 million in Thursday box office previews.
,” hits theaters this weekend and made $2.15 million in previews at the box office.
The raunchy comedy from Sony is predicted to open with a soft $12 million in its opening weekend, which may not bode well considering its $45 million budget. It’s been a tough time for R-rated comedies at the box office lately, with the once profitable genre nearly going extinct.
Lawrence stars as Maddie, an Uber driver facing bankruptcy after her car is repossessed, in “No Hard Feelings.” But her luck changes when she accepts an odd Craigslist ad from two parents who want their awkward, 19-year-old son to try dating before going to college. In exchange for a new car, Maddie teaches the introverted Percy how to drink, party, skinny dip and much more.
“No Hard Feelings” is directed by Gene Stupnitsky, a writer and director on “The Office” who made his directorial debut with 2019’s R-rated comedy “Good Boys.” That film, about sixth-graders who get caught up in several adult misadventures, made $2.1 million in previews and opened with $21 million at the box office. It ended its run with $111 million worldwide.
Warner Bros.’ “The Flash” is expected to remain No. 1 this week with $22 million to $25 million in its sophomore outing. That would be around a 60% drop from its $55 million opening last weekend. Pixar’s “Elemental” is aiming for $14 million to $16 million in its second weekend, and Sony’s “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” could web up around $13.5 million to $15 million in its fourth weekend.

Movie review: Jennifer Lawrence in the raunchy teen comedy 'No Hard Feelings'In a saner world, we would have already had a dozen Jennifer Lawrence comedies. As if to make up for lost time, Lawrence has in “No Hard Feelings” made the kind of R-rated teen comedy that has usually launched young actors. She plays a 32-year-old Montauk Uber driver who, desperate for money after her car is towed, is hired by the wealthy parents of a timid and sheltered 19-year-old to take his virginity before he heads off to Princeton.
