Take that, Benjamin Button!

Marley & Me topped the box office at $36.3 million this weekend, while Benjamin Button fell to the #3 slot (behind Bedtime Stories). It’s notable that Button is longer than Marley and showed in about 500 fewer theaters, but Marley still had a higher per-screen take ($10,450 to $8,987).

Looks like theater-goers would rather get their holiday cheer from a desperate and childless bachelorette and a suicidal alcoholic, just so long as they’re aging in the right direction.

Congrats to Jen and Owen!

    No need to say mean things about Jennifer. She seems nice; wait till she proves otherwise to get nasty.

  2. lolly says:

    tsk tsk beet. leave owen alone – you yourself defended him.

    id say marley is the box office draw, not these two.

  3. Leah says:

    I saw Marley and Me just because I wanted Jen’s movie to do better than Brad’s… : )

  4. jgirl says:

    that was kind of harsh…

  5. Amy says:

    She’s not desperate. And it’s pretty cruel to redicule her for being childless. What’s wrong with not having children?

  6. Erin says:

    For the record…there is very little cheer in this movie. I saw Benjamin on Friday and Marley on Saturday and there were far more snifflers in the audience for Marley.

    If I wasn’t busy the entire movie entertaining my 5-year old (cause the movie was NOT AT ALL entertaining for that age group) I probably would have left feeling pretty depressed.

    yeah really, make up your mind beet. youve been trumpeting for weeks about how great jennifer aniston is and how she shits golden twinkies. which is it?

  8. carol says:

    why is she desperate?

  9. Jennifer says:

    Hey beet aren’t you single with no kids? Lol

    I agree that this movie is selling tickets because it’s a dog movie. I’m not a dog-lover so I’ll wait till it comes out on video so I can fast-forward past the dog to see Jennifer Aniston.

  13. GreyEyes says:

    Benjamin Button was AMAZING! Marley&Me looked really trashy. I hate those slap stick comedies.

    • Veronica says:

      It’s not slap stick at all. this movie is about family relationships and how a dog is part of a family. In fact, I dislike Anniston and Wilson, but loved this book, so I went to see the movie Saturday night. While it was not as good as the book, it was pretty good. I would have liked it more if they spent more time on the dog, but it probably wouldn’t have worked as well. It was worth seeing and give it a “B”.

    Suck my little dick, Brad.

  18. mimi in mo says:

    I’m totally Team Aniston but I have NO desire to see this movie. But I don’t wanna see Ben Button either!

  19. Heather says:

    I could see how someone who didn’t read Marley and Me could be really confused throughout the movie. They left a loooooooot of stuff out, and my friend who didn’t read it was constantly asking me what was going on.
