Jennifer Aniston’s latest film, Marley & Me, beat out ex-husband Brad Pitt’s Oscar favorite, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, at the box office Thursday, scoring the all-time best Christmas Day opening, according to preliminary box office numbers.
The canine-centered romantic comedy, based on the bestselling novel about a loveable but incorrigible Lab Retriever, opened at all-time Christmas No. 1 with $14.75 million in ticket sales. The previous record was held by the 2002 film Ali, which earned $10.2 million.
Brad’s film The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button followed in second with $11.8 million. In at third was Adam Sandler’s new Disney comedy Bedtime Stories, which earned $10.4 million in sales, followed by Valkyrie starring Tom Cruise with $8.5 million. Jim Carrey’s Yes Man rounded out the top 5 with $5.9 million.
That’s pretty cool if you look at it- three movies broke a record Christmas Day! Even Though Jennifer & Owen Wilson came out on top, Brad and Adam should be happy with there box office earnings!
