History

Historical Context

Jennifer Lopez’s $1 million salary for the 1997 Warner Bros. Selena biopic—its $35 million box-office success and Golden Globe nod—proved a Latina lead could draw mainstream audiences. Building on that breakthrough, Netflix’s 2026 rom-com Office Romance casts Lopez as a Latina CEO, illustrating streaming’s trend of reviving past hits while prioritizing high-budget, inclusive productions.
