Jennifer Aniston has a box office hit - take that Brangelina. Could have the birth of Shiloh Nouvel actually have helped out Jennifer Aniston's box office figures? I'm thinking this is more due the fan base of Vince Vaughn than anything else, although it's been a little while since a romantic comedy has been released. The reviews have not been stellar, with the Wall Street Journal asking, "What's a smart comedienne doing in such a dumb movie?"
Her new romantic comedy "The Break-Up," co-starring real-life companion Vince Vaughn, stunned industry observers by taking the top spot at the North American box office with ticket sales of about $38.1 million during its first three days, according to studio estimates issued on Sunday.The Universal Pictures release, which was savaged by critics, had been expected to open in the $20 million range behind reigning champ "X-Men: The Last Stand," which slipped to No. 2 with $34.4 million in its second weekend.
Certainly, few observers were expecting it to break the former "Friends" star's mediocre run at the box office. Of her two wide releases last year, "Derailed" stalled at $36 million, while "Rumor Has It" fell silent at $43 million. Still, she has some way to go to catch up with ex-husband Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the mother of his new baby girl. Their movie together, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," earned $186 million last year.

Why do people seem to want her to fail? While not a great actress, it seems like all the blogs hate her. What did she do?
(Serious question)s
mel says:
I think she is a great actress. I can't wait to see that movie. Great Job Jen!!!
Crazy about the girl says:
I think she is an OK actress but all this massive break-up coverage makes me want to throw up when I see the faces of Jen, Brad and Ang. Please go away!!!!!
doofus says:
hey there sara...she didn't DO anything.
unfortunately, you have the PSYCHO angie fans who hate this girl for NO reason. they don't know her, they're not friends with Angelina or Brad, they have NO stake in these realtionships, and yet they act like it's high school, they're angie's BFF, and they must defend her at all costs.
for the record, I'm not a "team jolie" or "team aniston" member.
I think that aniston is a good comedic actress, but she had a tendency to make bad role choices. I'm also no so sure that movies are what she should do...I think maybe she should stick to TV.
countrybabe says:
She is just not somebody you would pay 10.00 to see on the big screen. She is a Tv person. Everyone seems suprised that the movie took the number one spot, but it still only made what 35 million.
Kelsey says:
I love Jen. She's so beautiful, talented and funny. I always enjoy her movies, maybe that's saying something about me, but that's ok. I am sick of all the tabloid talk though....I wish they would find someone else to write about. Hell they can write about me if it would get those 3 out of the mags...even though that would be painfully dull...
Small Fry says:
Totally off topic, but I finally saw Derailed over the weekend and it was AWFUL. Bad story line, bad script and bad acting. She does make poor choices in movie rolls and I have to agree with doofus, she needs to stick to t.v. Perhaps a new agent would help???
I as well am neither team Jolie or team Aniston and wish everyone would get over it.
sara says:
Thanks for all the feedback to my question. Seems like we have a smart, educated group that enjoy this site (like me).
I really thought I had missed something. I think doofus stated it best:
unfortunately, you have the PSYCHO angie fans who hate this girl for NO reason. they don't know her, they're not friends with Angelina or Brad, they have NO stake in these realtionships, and yet they act like it's high school, they're angie's BFF, and they must defend her at all costs.
Have a great day!!!
C says:
Well said, doofus.
I actually liked Derailed and Rumor Has It, but that's just me. I thought they were good movies and The Good Girl wasn't bad either. I do, however, agree that she is better on television than she is in the movies.
Tajue says:
Finally, the voice of reason!
Jennifer rammed her life, marriage and career down our throats for YEARS. And because she's a hypocrite, Jennifer now touts her obvious distain for the media, as the coverage is less than flattering. "What goes up......", Jen. Now go crawl in a hole and die.
P.S. Take Brad and Angie with you. I'm sick of you all.
Weiner Roast
doesn't anybody remember Office Space? that movie will be forever a CLASSIC.
yvonne says:
And.... again how many box office hits has Brad and Angie have? I don't think there jealous of Jennifer at all. What I think is terrible about Jennifer is that she does all this crying about Brad leaving her. She made the choice though to chose her career over starting a family. He wanted a family way before he meet Angie. Jennifer always ohhhh one more season of "Friends" Jennifer was the maker of her unmaking of her marriage. I think Brad saw in Angie what he was looking for in Jennifer. Someone who can be a mom and a actress. I think Jennifer is to selfish to be a mom, wife or anything more then just a good friend and girlfriend. You'll notice when she is being interviewed its always about her..... Do you ever see, hear or read anything that she is doing to better man kind. Never she is just busy bettering her self by trying to make the next dollar.....
LizaJane says:
I'm not a Jolie fan girl and I can't stand Aniston. She is just another superficial hollywood type that never has anything important or interesting to say.
tired of the media says:
Sorry for the essay but this is my first time.
Why do they keep comparing her to her ex and his girlfriend? As far as the world know they all have moved on, it is just fans of the both of them and the media that would not let go. If any woman that have broken up with some one no matter how bad or not the person was, it takes a while to get over it, Christ also if a woman gets involves with some else's man, they get the grind they are human and having money does not make it right. Derailed and Rumor Has It were actually good. Actors don't make the move it only give it hype. Why see a move for who is staring in it that is why these people are so rich. They are hundreds of movie that are very good that don't make any money because they are not exposed or publicized like movies with big name stars. Not bashing any one but Mr. & Mrs. Smith was total bullshit sorry and I am not the only one who though so. i live in the Caribbean and when people ask any one what they though of it and they just sigh. It made money for who was in it every one though it could of been better. The trailer was good (looked like the movies would interesting) but that was it ever thing else was a waste one film. Story line sucked and it was more of a comedy than action.It just tricked people out of their money. i think it was given good reviews so every one though it have to be good because they are too good actors. don't go by what you hear or read you would have to see for your self. the only way i will believe good reviews again is if they do FaceOff II
Gotthemunchies says:
I thought Derailed was pretty decent. I don't think she necessarily made the movie, Clive Owen & Vincent Cassel (sp?) did that. I think she's a good comedic actress...anyone see She's The One? Her part was small but she had some great one-liners that are just classic & had me rollin'! Picture Perfect was good too.
Off subject, but you know who's been dissappointing after going back to movies? Sarah Jessica Parker. Now SJP is my girl & i've loved her since Footloose, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun & of course, Sex & The City....but just watched The Family Stone & it was just...BAD. Really bad. Great names on the credits, but bad movie all together. And I bought this one on DVD before I watched it cuz I just knew i'd love an SJP movie! Should've rented it.

I personally like Jennifer Aniston. At the same time, I hate Angelina Jolie. I always have. She's way to unstable and trashy for me.
Aniston fan says:
Thaddeus are you a man?
If you are, good. TAKE THAT!!!...Jolie fans who think every man in the world wants her!
Thaddeus you have great taste in women.
