Aniston Tops the Box Office!

Jennifer Aniston beat out ex Brad Pitt for the highest earning movie opening on Christmas Day.

"Marley & Me" stars Aniston and Owen Wilson as a married couple and tells the story of their troublesome pup. The comedy grossed $14.8 million -- the highest one-day total ever for a film opening on Christmas.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is the story of a man who ages backwards starring Pitt and Cate Blanchet. The romantic drama earned $11.8 million and set the record for the second-highest Christmas opening of all-time.

I am so sick of hearing about Jennifer Aniston - she needs to get on with her life and stop making nasty comments about Angelina Jolie. You never hear about the other 5 great actors from Friends. She and Brad were having problems for a long time before they split. She should stop blaming Angie.
You in the entertainment field blow this way out of proportion. But I never hear you commenting about Mary Louise Parker being left when she was pregnant and the same goes for the other gal, the model - the football player left her also when she was pregant. I think that is worse than Bran and Jen splitting.
Marley & Me was a family movie but no one went to see it because of Jen - it was because of the dogs. Brad’s movie was for adults and it was wonderful.
Jen - STOP BEING SO DESPERATE!

Loved Marley & Me. Both Owen Wilson & Jennifer Aniston did beautiful jobs.

Brad Pitt did not make Jennifer Aniston famous. And their divorce as very sad and hurtful I imagine. On both sides. It must be extremely difficult to bear that hurt under such public scruitny.

It would appear they have both moved on. Keeping the divorce/break-up alive is evidently good press for TV shows & magazines and I guess Brad & Jennifer both laugh all the way to the bank if it boosts their careers as well.

I will always watch a family movie over a violent or foul mouthed movie. I don’t care who stars in it. It just so happened that jen starred in it and i loved the movie. I will also buy the dvd.

I saw both movies. Marley and Me was
funny, warmhearted and the stars both
did a really good job in it. It was
a true story and you could really identify with it. Benjamin Button was
boring for the first half of the show,
then just a little excitement, and then
he gets too young for Cate. Cate was
good in it but Brad just didn’t ever
completely put any soul in it. I also
found it very strange for him to be
the same age as his child. It just
didn’t do anything for me. I’d only
give it about one star. Tom Cruise’s
movie was even better than it and I’m
not a real Tom Cruise fan.

it’s a shame that people have reduced everything that happens with Brad, Angie and Jennifer to an effing grudge match. This is not the Hatfields and the McCoys it 2 different people that used to be married and the ENTIRE country is caught up in he beat/ she beat….. I think the studio’s need to re-think opening day’s for these 2 because people are so f**ked up in the head ..can’t comment on the movie but can say sh** like that’s what he get’s or Angie is a ——- whatever ya know people you really need help and that goes out to the out of control folks that HATE HATE HATE and think that they are settling something by going to a movie sh** she’s still going home to John Mayer Brad is happy as a buster with his woman and children and America is still into judging what he did and she did and they did umph umph umph

People please.
The movie did well so far because of the book did very well.
I don’t know anyone who watched this movie because of Aniston.
Nonetheless, the movie was not good. Save the money and rent the DVD when it comes out.

Well all of you have proved one fact that she gained her popularity because of Brad Pitt, you just can not even mention her name without mentioning him or Angie.

Angelina is the HIGHEST paid actress woman in 2008. She made almost $BILLION worldwide in 2008. Angelina not only works hard for herself and the family but for the better world! she cares about the world and poor people,. you guys who bashing about her family and brad are bitter unatractive women. I bet your men can’t stand with you negative ugly attitude.

NANA, CHECK YOUR FACTS, REESE WITHERSPOON WAS THE HIGHEST PAID ACTRESS AND SHE STILL IS THE HIGHEST PAID ACTRESS. SHE IS VERY MUCH IN DEMAND.

I will always watch Brad and Angie novies because they are graet actors and TCCBB did great on BO and will probabaly earning about 40 mil. and it has been shown in 500 theaters less and everybody are raving about it.
Angelina was with Wanted and KFP bo champ and the most paid actress in 2008, she is vertasile actress and Jennifer does all the same movies. This was a familly movie opened on Christmas day and everybody expected to go well. Brad had a great year with Burn after reading and TCCOBB. But do not worry about Angelina she has her familly that comes first and she is slowly moving back from films and wants to be mother and that is her main role.
Brad Pitt will always be a legend and Jennifer as his ex wife until you her fans start to appreciate her as solo actress and not compare her every step
with Brad! Love Jolie-Pitts!!!!!!

People are ignoring one ONE VERY OBVIOUS fact…Marley and Me is rated PG and Benjamin Button is rated PG 13. What do most people do on Christmas? Be with their family. And what’s a more suitable family movie? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Let’s look at which movie makes more in the long run.
