December 28, 2008 - Marley and Me / opening weekend box office
Scooped on Sunday, December 28, 2008
The box office went to the dogs this holiday season as Fox's Marley and Me became the new number one movie in theaters. The family friendly film took in $37 million over the Friday to Sunday weekend and another $14.6m on Christmas Day to bring its total accumulated gross up to $51,675,000. By comparison the weekend's second-highest grossing film was Bedtime Stories starring Adam Sandler which took in $28m this weekend.
Marley and Me's December 25th opening also proved to set a new record for the biggest Christmas Day opening of all-time, beating the previous champ, 2001's Ali, by $4.4m.
