The Jennifer Aniston movie, Marley & Me is at the top of the box office heap this holiday weekend outselling the Brad Pitt film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Twentieth Century Fox’s ”Marley and Me” continued to easily lead the crowded litter of Christmas films on Friday, although overall business eased off after an unexpected surge on Christmas Day.
On the specialty side, Paramount Vantage/DreamWorks’ ”Revolutionary Road”grossed the highest per screen average of the day–$22,000–as it opened in three runs to an estimated gross of roughly $67,000. “Rev Road,” directed by Sam Mendes, marks the first time that Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio have appeared together on the bigscreen since ”Titanic.”
“Marley” grossed an estimated $14 million from 3,480 runs for a very merry two-day cume of $28.8 million, well ahead of expectations. It’s even possible that theJennifer Aniston-Owen Wilson film could jump the $50 million mark for the four-day holiday weekend.
Placing No. 2 for the day, Paramount’s Brad Pitt-Cate Blanchett starrer ”The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” held a narrow lead over Disney’s Adam Sandler family pic ”Bedtime Stories” in grossing an estimated $10.2 million from 2,988 runs for a two-day cume of $22 million.
“Bedtime” grossed an estimated $10 million from 3,681 playdates for a two-day cume of $20.5 million.
I really didn’t expect Marley & Me to be the biggest success of the holiday weekend.
