EuropeMarley & Me leads Christmas bonanza at US box office
Hollywood had itself a very merry Christmas at the US box office as three films broke the record for a Christmas Day opening; even Tom Cruise's Valkyrie managed to defy critics and land a respectable opening haul.Canine comedy Marley & Me, starring Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston and a labrador puppy, emerged as the No 1 film ? it rang up $14.7m on 25 December to knock out the previous Christmas record of $10.2m set by Ali in 2001, on its way to taking an estimated $51.8m over the four-day festive break. The film, based on the eponymous bestselling book by John Grogan, chronicles the travails of a family dealing with the arrival of a mischievous new pet.Two other films also broke Ali's Christmas Day record ? David Fincher's Oscar-tipped The Curious Case of Benjamin Button took $12m before finishing at second place in the top 10 with an estimated $39m for the long weekend, while the Adam Sandler family comedy Bedtime Stories took third spot with $38.6m after scoring $10.5m on the day itself.The success of Benjamin Button, which stars Brad Pitt as a man who ages backwards, is a triumph for Fight Club director Fincher, whose team had spent two years working on the technically-demanding feature. It was also Fincher's best ever opening, topping the $30m taken by his 2002 thriller Panic Room.Valkyrie, the high-profile, Bryan Singer-directed historical drama starring Tom Cruise as a Nazi officer who masterminded an assassination attempt on Hitler, took fourth place with $30m for the four days ? a much better performance than sceptics had predicted. Valkyrie's success will come as a huge relief to Cruise and his United Artists studio ? vultures had been circling after the weak performance of last year's Lions for Lambs, UA's first film since it was relaunched, and the departure of the actor's long-term producing partner, Paula Wagner.The top five was rounded out by the Jim Carrey comedy Yes Man, which held up well with $16.45m in its second week.Elsewhere on the chart, the only real Christmas turkey was former comic-book writer Frank Miller's debut as a solo director, an adaptation of the noirish 1940s newspaper comic strip The Spirit. The film, which has had dispiriting reviews, opened at No 9 with $10.4m over the four days, despite a cast which includes Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L Jackson and Eva Mendes.Overall, box office was up 10% on the same time last year, in a sign that Hollywood continues to defy the credit crunch. "The fact that so many movies did so well was very encouraging to everyone in terms of the health of the theatrical market," said Paramount studio vice-chairman Rob Moore.guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
