Box Office Results
Here are the Top 10 Movies
A four-legged animal was the champ at the box office. Marley and Me starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Anniston was number one at the box office. It’s one of the biggest Christmas openings of all time. I certainly didn’t expect this movie to be number one. This is probably a personal victory for Jennifer Anniston because her movie beat Brad Pitt’s movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. His movie came in third in the top 10. There’s also a Friend vs. Friend battle in the top 10. Jennifer also beat out her best friend and former Friends co-star Courteney Cox-Arquette. Her movie Bedtime Stories came in second to Marley and Me.
Tom Cruise’s movie Valkyrie also cracked the top 10. His movie debuted at number four. Is Tom Cruise’s career practically over? Five years ago, Tom wouldn’t have come in fourth to animals as well as an elderly man aging in reverse. Tom’s movie would have most likely been number one. Tom’s movie made over $20,000,000, but that’s practically nothing compared tow hat his movies used to make. I have a feeling the movie is going to lose money next week.
Here’s the top 10 movies for the week:
- Marley & Me - $37 million
- Bedtime Stories - $28.1 million
- The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button - $27 million
- Valkyrie - $21.5 million
- Yes Man - $16.4 million
- Seven Pounds - $13.4 million
- The Tale of Despereaux - $9.4 million
- The Day The Earth Stood Still - $7.9 million
- The Spirit - $6.5 million
