With no new releases this weekend, the top 10 looked almost the same as it did last week, with the Jennifer Aniston canine drama, Marley & Me staying put at #1. With audiences catching up with all of the Christmas day releases, the average decline for each film was in the neighborhood of 25%.

Marley & Me grossed $24M, dropping 34% from last weekend, passing the $100M mark in just 11 days. This was close to my prediction of $27M. With school back in session, ticket sales for Marley should slow down a bit, and it should reach a final gross in the vicinity of $160M.

Adam Sandler’s family comedy, Bedtime Stories, remained in second place this weekend, grossing $20.3M exactly as I predicted. With no new kid’s movies being released, Bedtime Stories should have a decent hold on the box office over the next couple of weeks and end up with a final gross in the $140M range. Introducing his brand of comedy to younger audiences with this much success, should guarantee that Sandler will continue to make movies that are accessible to all ages.

In third place this weekend, grossing $18.4M, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, came in shy of my $22M forecast. Out of all of the releases to come out over the holiday, however, Button should be the one that displays the best legs at the box office. With major award’s buzz and a slew of Academy Award nominations on the way, Benjamin Button should play until March and wind up with a final gross north of $150M.

Tom Cruise’s latest, Valkyrie continued to defy industry expectations, grossing $14M in its second weekend and bringing it’s cume up to $60.6M. Valkyrie has been the subject of debate since it was announced, with most industry insiders expecting it to bomb. With Tom Cruise’s renewed strength at the box office and a brilliant marketing campaign, Valkyrie has proven the naysayers wrong and with a little luck, may become Cruise’s 16^th film to gross $100M.

The only Christmas day release to bomb, The Spirit dropped out of the top 10 in its second outing, dropping 50% to gross a slim $3.2M, right in line with my prediction of $2.9M. The Frank Miller directed super hero movie has made a paltry $17.7M to date and may be remembered as one of the biggest bombs of the decade. To see how the rest of my predictions fared, check out the chart below.
