Jennifer Aniston & Marley Top Pitt, Sandler, Cruise at Box Office
Jennifer Aniston is top dog at the box office. Her flick, Marley & Me, earned $24.1 million over the weekend, making it No. 1 for the second week in a row. The doggy drama, which set a Christmas Day opening record, has made $106.5 million so far.
Adam Sandler‘s Bedtime Stories came in second spot, earning $20.3 million. Read the full story at USmagazine.com
This is not terribly surprising, considering Jennifer Aniston’s film looks fun and exciting (I hear there is a topless pool scene), while Brad Pitt‘s movie looks dull and boring. If I were taking a date to a movie, I wouldn’t see “Button”, but would definitely check out Aniston’s flick. Think about it… which one gives you the better opportunity to score after the movie?
Still, Pitt nearly equaled Aniston’s total w/ a $18.4 million haul during the same time period. Not too bad for such an “aged” looking movie. (pardon the pun) And no, I haven’t seen either movie. Will wait until they come out on DVD before wasting my greenbacks.
The winner from this weekend, however, looks to be Adam Sandler, who’s kids movie topped $20 million.
