Yep, The Break-Up<\/a><\/i> trounced<\/a> X-Men: The Last Stand<\/a><\/i>, all right.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Break-Up<\/i> is estimated to have grossed $38.1 million in its first weekend<\/a>, which is easily the highest opening weekend for any film featuring Vince Vaughn or Jennifer Aniston in a leading role.<\/p>\n

However, if we count supporting roles, The Break-Up<\/i> marks Vaughn<\/a>\u2018s third-highest opening, after The Lost World: Jurassic Park<\/i> (1997, $72.1 million) and Mr. & Mrs. Smith<\/a><\/i> (2005, $50.3 million), and Aniston<\/a>\u2018s second-highest opening, after Bruce Almighty<\/a><\/i> (2003, $68 million) \u2014 indeed, The Break-Up<\/i>\u2018s opening weekend alone beats the lifetime gross of all but three Aniston films, namely Bruce Almighty<\/i> ($242.8 million), Along Came Polly<\/i> (2004, $88.1 million) and Rumour Has It\u2026<\/a><\/i> (2005, $43 million).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, The Da Vinci Code<\/a><\/i> is poised to become the top-grossing film of the year worldwide<\/a>, at least for a while; at $581.7 million, it currently trails behind Ice Age: The Meltdown<\/a><\/i>\u2018s $626.3 million, but it is way, way ahead of all the other competition, and it could pass that in a week or two. And FWIW, The Da Vinci Code<\/i> is currently #32 on the all-time<\/a> worldwide chart, while Ice Age: The Meltdown<\/i> is currently #27.<\/p>\n

Also noteworthy: The Al Gore global-warming documentary An Inconvenient Truth<\/a><\/i> cracked the box-office top ten, grossing $1.3 million in only 77 theatres (it doesn\u2019t open in Vancouver until next week), and thus netted the highest per-screen average of the lot ($17,298, versus The Break-Up<\/i>\u2018s $12,395).<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
