“Marley & Me” ran away from the pack of films at the Box Office on Christmas Day. Preliminary numbers show the movie about a couple raising a less than prefect dog rang up $14.6 million during its opening on Christmas. It will be interesting to see if the Owen Wilson and Jennifer Ansiton flick can hold on to the number one spot through the long holiday weekend.
In second place right now, another new film “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” debuted yesterday with about $11.7 million, followed by the new Adam Sandler comedy, “Bedtime Stories,” with about $10 million, Tom Cruise’s “Valkyrie” with around $8.3 million and rounding out the top five, last weekend’s number one film, the Jim Carrey comedy, “Yes Man,” with $5.9 million.
