After Kiss of the Spider Woman bombed at the box office in October, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are thinking twice about backing Jennifer Lopez again, a source tells the National Enquirer.

“According to Jennifer’s camp, this movie was a win, because she’s proud of it and she got amazing reviews,” says the source, adding that the pop star, 56, could still potentially take home an Oscar or a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress.

But the move represents a “big black eye” for Artists Equity, the studio founded by her ex, 53, and his longtime BFF, 55.

“The whole project was put together back when Jennifer and Ben were a loving couple, with big dreams about collaborating on films,” the source explains of the pair, who split after less than two years of marriage in 2024.

“Matt fully backed their vision, and he and Ben wrote a big check to get this movie going,” continues the source, noting that the pals — who won joint Oscars for 1997’s Good Will Hunting — “can’t resist making vanity projects driven by actors.”

“But it’s long past time for them to get real and get this studio’s product selling tickets,” adds the source.

The pair also produced the “Waiting for Tonight” singer’s 2024 film Unstoppable, which also “underwhelmed financially,” points out the source, “and they aren’t looking to do a third!”
