Jennifer did one hell good pre promotions and she did it all by herself, It's great to leave with a hit for two years and come back and kick some butts with a good hit comeback.
Plus, the fact that critics and people were waiting just a doggy movie, but were surprised by the whole movie is a good help.
I've a brother in the US, others told him to go this instead of Bedtime, he pre-ordered tickets for 26th, now his children want a labrador dog and making his days a mess hehehe... |

I saw this yesterday and loved it. Definitely one of my favorites she has done. Each showing including mine were sold out :) I don't want to give to much away for those that haven't read the book or seen the movie but it stays close to John Grogan's book. Jennifer's and Owen's chemistry is spot on. The movie was funny and emotional. Owen really is does a great job in both. This movie shows that Owen does have range. There were some people really sobbing. Me and my sister got teary eyed but there were some definite sobs going on. I was surprised how many guys who I am sure where dragged to see it really got into it. The puppies appeared on screen and there were was a loud "aww" lol Really happy the film is doing well. I don't think I have ever seen such box office results like this over Christmas in a long time 
Spoiler
I was surprised David Frankel didn't go for a happy ending. After Marley died in the book they contemplate getting another dog but in the movie it ended with Marley dieing. I really started tearing up when Marley was going to be taken to the Vet and the kids were saying goodbye to him. Reminded me of when I was saying goodbye to my last dog knowing it would be the last time I would see him. He was really going for the pull on your heart strings affect with the ending but well done. Jennifer, Owen and the actors that played their children were great during the end. |

From Variety
'Marley and Me' still best in show
Fox's family drama earns $14 million Friday
By PAMELA MCCLINTOCK
Posted: Sat., Dec. 27, 2008, 10:21am PT
Twentieth Century Fox's "Marley and Me" continued to easily lead the crowded litter of Christmas films on Friday, although overall business eased off after an unexpected surge on Christmas Day.
On the specialty side, Paramount Vantage/DreamWorks' "Revolutionary Road" grossed the highest per screen average of the day--$22,000--as it opened in three runs to an estimated gross of roughly $67,000. "Rev Road," directed by Sam Mendes, marks the first time that Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio have appeared together on the bigscreen since "Titanic."
"Marley" grossed an estimated $14 million from 3,480 runs for a very merry two-day cume of $28.8 million, well ahead of expectations. It's even possible that the Jennifer Aniston-Owen Wilson film could jump the $50 million mark for the four-day holiday weekend.
Placing No. 2 for the day, Paramount's Brad Pitt-Cate Blanchett starrer "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" held a narrow lead over Disney's Adam Sandler family pic "Bedtime Stories" in grossing an estimated $10.2 million from 2,988 runs for a two-day cume of $22 million.
"Bedtime" grossed an estimated $10 million from 3,681 playdates for a two-day cume of $20.5 million.
Heading into the weekend, most thought that "Bedtime Stories" would do the most biz, since it was perceived as more of a family films than "Marley." But "Marley" has succeeded in appealing to both families and general auds, along with females of all ages. "Bedtime" could overtake "Button" on Saturday and Sunday, but "Button" should come in second for the four-day Christmas weekend.
United Artists and MGM's Tom Cruise thriller "Valkyrie" continued to do steady business as well on Friday, grossing more than $8 million from 2,711 runs for a running two-day total of $16.5 million. Film placed No. 4.
Studios couldn't have received a better holiday present that the depth and strength of the Christmas box office so far. Never before have so many wide releases gone out over Christmas, and so far, audiences are liking the variety of choice. Studio honchos weren't worried by the drop in traffic on Friday, saying moviegoing was bound to go down after such a strong Christmas Day.
Coming in No. 5 was Warner Bros.' holdover "Yes Man" which grossed $5.9 million from 3,434 runs for an eight-day total of $39 million. The Jim Carrey laffer opened Dec. 19, as did Sony's Will Smith drama "Seven Pounds."
On Friday, "Seven Pounds"--a rare box office disappointment for Smith--placed No. 6, grossing an estimated $4.6 million from 2,758 theaters for an eight-day cume of $30.3 million.
The only Christmas release struggling is Lionsgate's "The Spirit," which came in No. 11 on Friday. Film, directed by Frank Miller, grossed an estimated $2.7 million for a two-day total of $6.5 million.
