Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are definitely one of Hollywood’s power couples. When they got married, Affleck was definitely at the top of his game. But it looks like Lopez has changed the stats with her latest release and left her husband behind. At least, in terms of how their careers are progressing right now.
But that’s not all. Jennifer Lopez has also seemingly left behind other well-known and established Hollywood actors like Jennifer Aniston and Daniel Craig with her latest film on Netflix. A lot of people were surprised by her unexpected victory and couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows at the situation.

However, it’s impossible to compare Affleck’s performance with his wife’s because his movies are theatrical releases while hers is on a streaming platform. As such, there’s no way to know if people would have paid money to watch Jennifer Lopez’sThe Motherin theaters.
Also, the total number of watches the pop star’s film actually received will be difficult to know unless Netflix reveals those numbers. As per the mega streaming site,Daniel Craig’sGlass Onion 2had a viewership of 82.1 M while Jennifer Aniston’sMurder Mystery2 netted 64M. It now remains to be seen if Lopez’s film can chart better than those two.
