Jennifer Aniston Continues to Kick Box Office Ass
December 30th, 2008 by Evil Beet
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.
tsk tsk beet. leave owen alone – you yourself defended him.
id say marley is the box office draw, not these two.
I saw Marley and Me just because I wanted Jen’s movie to do better than Brad’s… : )
I was gonna do the same :P just got too busy
ugh seriously
There’s nothing wrong with that!
that was kind of harsh…
She’s not desperate. And it’s pretty cruel to redicule her for being childless. What’s wrong with not having children?
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?
why is she desperate?
Hey beet aren’t you single with no kids? Lol
You just love dog movies. Always have, always will. PS – “Hotel for Dogs” comes out in January. Get some!
I’m a sucker for dog movies too, Spiteful Lars! LOL
ew beet, bad attitude.
I also went and saw marley and me before brads movie bc im in way favor of jennifer doing better than him. :)
happy holidays readers.
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.
Benjamin Button was AMAZING! Marley&Me looked really trashy. I hate those slap stick comedies.
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.
Go Jen !!!!!I hate Brangelina
kinda off topic, but when i first saw the pic i thought owen was donald trump(:
How very perez hilton of you….
nasty, nasty…
poor form.
:”(
I’m totally Team Aniston but I have NO desire to see this movie. But I don’t wanna see Ben Button either!
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.
