The only reason I am posting this happy box office news is because I like the dog. Yeah, Owen Wilson’s sorta hunky and Jennifer Aniston, well that naked cover is certainly revenge on Brangelina, but in my world, Dogs Rule. Plus Marley is the same color as my Bradley, that is, when said pup has not been out rolling in the muddy hills of Carmel Valley with his buddies, the foxes.

ET reports:
The Christmas Day release of Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson‘s new film ‘Marley & Me’ has already broken a box office record.

Twentieth Century Fox says the film hit $14.8 million in ticket sales at the box office, making it the highest grossing film to ever open on December 25, says Variety. ‘Marley & Me’ breaks the previous record of $10.2 million set by ‘Ali’ in 2001.

Also expected to break the previous record with an estimated $11.8 million is ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ starring Brad Pitt, and ‘Bedtime Stories’ starring Adam Sandler, which pulled in an estimated $10.5 million, according to Variety.

    judging by the box office, it looks like Jennifer Aniston is giving Brad Pitt a run for his money…

    There is a new iPhone application featuring “Marley.” It’s by FooPets – you feed and care for Marley and it gives you new scenarios. Every now and then, it breaks in with an add for the movie. Interesting.

    OMG, Shannon. Thank you for this — will go check out. I am such a sucker for anything with pups . . . I can barely even watch that new spot for the Hotels for Dogs movie coming out . . . I want to go adopt a zillion more creatures.

  4. I have to get the iphone app. I am not surprised by the numbers. I am still getting call to do dog portraits. Pups rule.
