Okay, so Marley and Me/Old Yeller is the big 12.25 to 12.28 champ — bigger than anyone had projected, myself included. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is second, Adam Sandler‘s Bedtime Stories is third and Valkyrie is fourth. Marley‘s success — it will end up with $100 million and then some — is, of course, a bit of mixed-bag thing — bad for our collective movegoing souls, understandable from an economically-afflicted-viewers POV, good for sales of the original book, bad because of the “me too, Marley!” movies it’ll inspire.
