Jennifer Aniston's latest film beat out ex-husband Brad Pitt's at the box office, scoring the all-time best Christmas Day opening.Jen's new romantic comedy, "Marley & Me," based on the bestselling novel about a loveable but incorrigible Labrador Retriever, opened at all all-time Christmas No. 1 with $14.75 million in ticket sales, according to preliminary box office numbers. The previous record was held by "Ali" with 10.2 million.
Meanwhile Brad's film "The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button" followed in second with $11.8 million.
Although Jen's movie won the 100-yard dash of opening day, "Benjamin Button" will likely have more longevity on the long road towards Oscar night.
In third was Adam Sandler's "Bedtime Stories" which earned $10.4 million in sales, followed by "Valkyrie" starring Tom Cruise with $8.5 million. Jim Carrey's "Yes Man" rounded out the top 5 with $5.9 million.
