Pitting Exe's Against Each Other

In the Daily Mail News paper it has Marley & Me, starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, taking $14.6million (£10million) on its opening day and took an additional $37million (£25.3million) over the weekend.

Then it gloats about how it beat her ex-husband Pitt's new film The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button taking $11.4million (£7.8million) on the opening day, landing at the number three spot.

So fuck? Its at Christmas time and families want funny and fluffy animals rather than interesting. In America they bill any old crap as 'The number one movie' because there is nothing else out that week to rival it.

Don't get me started on the summer block busters. Just because a lot of people go and see a film it doesn't mean its good.

I haven't seen either film and hope to never see the first as it looks lame and predictable, probably a nice and sometimes funny film but nothing special.

The latter looks more of an interesting premise and Pitt is the better actor of the three. I'd risk renting out The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button and I doubt anyone will be buying little old men for their kids at Christmas.
