Break-Up Box Office Sales

Break-Up Box Office Sales

"Unconventional romantic comedy" The Break-Up debuted at No. 1 this weekend with $38.1 million toppling over X-Men: The Last Stand, which slipped to second place with $34.35 million.  Not surprising since X3 was a load of donkey doo!!!! An editor from People said, "It’s hard to transfrom from small screen stardom to the big screen but [Jennifer Aniston] is a really, really good actress. There’s no question she’s got the chops." Looks like Aniston is here to stay! Pictures include Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn at Shutters at the Beach for The Break-Up Press Conference in Santa Monica, California.

Congratulation jen & VV. but I´ve grown tired of VV. i dont like a schemer.

# 2

How old is she? How many more years are left if there are more beautiful and talented women in Hollywood…….

piper, with a low @ 06/04/2006 at 7:53 pm

It saw TBU and it was bad. While it doesn’t deserve to be #1, I’m glad that VV wasn’t derailed by this **** of a movie. All in all, it still wasn’t as bad as Bewitched.

# 4

I hope and pray X and her fans are finally happy and get round to leaving the Jolie-Pitts in peace at last!

# 5

FINALLY something else she can talk about…I’m actually happy for them….I can’t believe Xmen did so poor!!!OH WELL…

I am a BAMZS fan all the way but it doesnt mean that I hate JA. I wish her well and I am going to see the TBU.There is no hate in a real BAMZS fan.I am sure all my BAMZS friends agree.

# 7

Congrats to their opening movie sales. I wish them the best, w/ relationship or not.

# 8

TBU was a very bad movie. It’s only #1 b/c nothing else new opened this weekend. Most people already saw X3 over the holiday weekend.JA needs to start being selective with her films and stop making everything they give her. VV has played variations of the same character in about 5 movies. Both of them are really lame at this point.

# 9

I’m not sure about the Aniston’s here to stay. Just like Bruce Almighty and Along Came Polly, she got lucky by co-starring in a comedy with a huge male movie star. Jennifer’s character could’ve been played by any other actress but replace Vince with someone else like say Josh Lucas or Dermot Mulroney, it wouldn’t have done as well. Jennifer still can’t open a movie by herself if her life depended on it. She’s nearing 40, she won’t be able to play the cute girlfriend in romantic comedies for long. I’m only happy for Vince but dear lord, the movie sucked. Not funny at all. Just painful.

Alexanderina @ 06/04/2006 at 8:22 pm

Sorry that was supposed to be to Angelah, Post #7, Sorry AG# 7 | angelah | - I ditto that, hopefully she can move on now and so can everybody elseHey JJ, can you delete post #8, thanks

EWWW…TBU is a waste of time and money. Janeane Garofalo should have played that character instead of JA. yeah it does seem like VV is a schemer, why don’t JA and VV say yeah to the media yup, we are f**kbuddies. What does JA have to prove running around nakeee, she is not sexy. With better movies soon to open this summer I rather see Lake House with Sandra Bullock and Keenue Reeves and The Devil wears Prada with Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.

I am so glad this movie has done better for Aniston now I pray that it will help her to stop obsessing about her ex-husband and focus on a brighter future with Vince V. who seems to be more her type they seem to have the same goals.

i think it is the triumph of gossip.

the tempest @ 06/04/2006 at 8:56 pm

The actual numbers for the weekend aren’t in yet (only estimates), but yeah, it’s looking very good for Jennifer & Vince so yay!

I checked this film out, only because of VV. The movie was so-so on the verge of being bad. VV can do a lot better. JA was dispensable. But she did hold her on with what she had. I’m not trying to be a smart a** but it was yet another Rachel role. Whatevs…

COLD HARD MATH @ 06/04/2006 at 8:58 pm

Good for her! Let’s hope both "camps" can now move on now!!!!

Brad and Angie @ 06/04/2006 at 9:10 pm

Good for Vince… as for JA, I was hoping this will bomb too so she will go away for good.

Alexanderina @ 06/04/2006 at 9:12 pm

# 16 | COLD HARD MATH | - Hey CHM, I think one camp has moved on since the divorce was filed, so maybe the other camp(X) can now moved on

To the people who say she talks too much about Brad. When? I have never heard her say one unkind thing about them. It’s the press that obsesses over it. She has said less than most women would have if faced with the same situation. She’s been very calm. I’d have not been so kind.

women power @ 06/04/2006 at 9:17 pm

Women fueled the business for Break-Up. Studio research showed that a whopping 67% of the audience was female while the crowd was evenly split between those over and under the age of 30. Vaughn and Aniston play a couple that breaks up, but still decides to live in the same condo together.The Break-Up sparked lots of media attention over the past year because of Aniston’s split from ex-husband Brad Pitt and her new relationship with Vaughn. Curiosity seemed to attract the former Friends star’s core audience of young women while men were far less interested.

I &herats; this movie!!! it was so effin hysterical. It was a great movie-id actully see it again. dont believe the reviews- most of the movies they bash are actully pretty good.I think even Bamzs fans will likey this!!!!!

PS, Jen n vince look awesome!!! gosh, just screw these cold hearted ******* and see the movie- theyre just jealous that theyre fat and arent pretty enough to even be in a movie.~

xmen had a ***** ending..I cant believe they killed off…..so, i can see y it did bad- ppl said hey dude, it had a crappy endin’ wait till its on DVD-go see sumtin else.

ck- Bp+Aj, never said they were together till they were prego- effin basher- g et over it punta

just wondering @ 06/04/2006 at 9:41 pm

I was looking at another site about TBU and found some interesting gossip about X."There’s someone over at Princess blog who says her friend worked on Derailed in costuming and said Aniston cheated on Pitt with Clive Owen. I believe it. She’s a lying sack of ****!"and another poster added…"I wouldn’t put it past Aniston to be whoring it up in London. I remember there were A LOT of stories back then that she wasn’t acting like a married women while on that shoot. Now…I remember Ted C making some comment about Aniston and Clive and Aniston sitting on his face. It’s probably true. Why Clive?"any truth to this rumor? maybe that’s why BP left London unhappy.

meh, I’m still not sold out on seeing this.They tricked people into seeing this promising a comedy and a lot of feedback I read was negative.That a lot of people hated it. I like Vaughn and just for him I’ll wait for the DVD.

There are quite a few movies out next week. The Break Up needed these numbers, because next week it may fall to #3. The drop might be in the 60% range.The final domestic boxoffice, apprx 95mil - 110mil. Boxofficemojo says production budget was 52mil, I don’t know if that includes marketing. With that being said this movie maybe in the moderate hit range.

COLD HARD MATH @ 06/04/2006 at 9:49 pm

| #18 Alexanderina |YES! ONE CAMP HAS MOVED ON! MY BAD!!!

This was an excellent movie and I am actually going to see it again before it leaves the theatres. The audience laughed out loud at the funny parts. I think many of the people saying it was bad haven’t seen it or their hatred for Jennifer is so strong that they can’t see past it. IMO

Jen'sTheTops @ 06/04/2006 at 10:17 pm

Va vaVoom!!! U go gal!!!

LMAO at the HATERS who keep trying to make up bullshit about Jennifer to justify their own whorish idol Angelina. this movie was AWESOME! I loved it!! Jen was terrific and Vince was great as usual! Congratulations to both of them!! I LOVE THAT THIS FILM KICKED ASS because it’s only going to piss off the sad haters. Get a life. BTW, Jolie takes the cake for post-divorce bitching. Jennifer did ONE interview, Jolie did Barbara Walters, larry King, Cosomo, People, Us, etc etc complaining about how lousy Billy Bob was. So not only are Jolie’s fans ugly haters, they are also stupid hypocrites. And Vince a schemer? Give me a break. He’s always been private about his private life. Meanwhile Brad Pitt has his publicist giving Perez Hilton passes to events to kiss Brangelina’s ass and orchestrated using children to manipulate his public image. Congrats to Vaughniston!

The Good Girl @ 06/04/2006 at 10:23 pm

Atta girl, Jen!!! U did it!!! Havent seen it yet as its not released over here. Cant wait to feast my eyes on it…baby baby light my fire!!!

justpassing @ 06/04/2006 at 10:26 pm

You are right April # 27, they needed to get thoe numbers this week, coz after people get the word of mouth taht movie is not good, then few will watch it afterwards, noticed that it already slipped to number on sunday after xmen. Im sure with Omen and CArs opening this weekend, and other movies the week after, im not sure whethet they can top US$ 80m in total, and VV and JA are not that popular in the foreign market.

Cheers.. Champagne to Camp Aniston!!!!

LOVED THIS MOVIE!! It’s comedy and drama. Jennifer was sooooo good in her crying scene! Ebert and Roeper said that her performance was good and that she is talented as well. Vince is awesome too. Whoever called Vince is a schemer is delusional because Brad Pitt is the true media manipulator. Vince and Jen are just living their lives. So giddy that this did well because the sad pathetic haters have to try and make up excuses as to why it is now the 3rd BIGGEST COMEDY OPENER EVER. LOL at the haters also! pretty pathetic that some of you jolie losers actually wanted Aniston to fail. Speaks volumes to your own sad lives. Congratulations Vince and Jen

Lisa sucks @ 06/04/2006 at 10:29 pm

Lisa = Gigg .. same person posting different user name just to add numers of fnas. So childish these stupid moronic fans of the Aniston. HATE THEM ALL. I HOPE THEY LL PERISH!

Faniston Fans @ 06/04/2006 at 10:32 pm

Hey JA fans, why are you guys so concern with Brad and Angelina and calling them names instead of enjoying your girl success at the movies, you guys are still focus on Brad and Angelina, what a shame, and you guys say that BAMZS fans can’t let it go, GET A LIFE

Brangelina fans pea sized brains have migrated to their assh0les.

ILOVEVINCEWhoever called him a schemer needs to check themselves. Brad Pitt is having his publicist give bloggers and writers passes and goodies to write favorably on Brangelina and negatively on his ex-wife. Using children to bolster his own public image is just sick. Vince has always been private and he’s a real guy, not a ***** wimp like Pitt. Pitt makes me sick. Congrats Vince!! another box office winner to your resume.

The real lou @ 06/04/2006 at 10:36 pm

#31 Lisa,Orchestrated using childern?No I am not a JA fan but I am sick of her lame ass fan’s picking on the childern.Angelina and Brad love their childern and do not need to orchestrate them for public image.I take it post #27 set you off but there was no need to bring the kids into it,that was plain low.Congrats to JA she should thank VV he was the reason the movie did as well as it did.Since you enjoyed it so much I would suggest you see it everyday for the next 2 weeks because by next sat this movie will be history money wise.

Good for Vince! They all have what they want! Jennifer and vince have a number 1 movie and Brad and Angelina have their family. Time to put an end to the pity party and move on!The next big news will be Vince and his new boyfriend…er i mean girlfriend.

The Real Hmmmm @ 06/04/2006 at 10:37 pm

Jennifer was sooooo good in her crying scene!# 35 | GiggPlease, Anyone would be sooooooooooo good in the crying scene is they had a year and half to practice it. LMAO….ya’all crack me up. I’m not going to reign on your parade. Musta been hell wallowing in self pity all this time. While you’re at it, get down on your knees and Thank my Vinny Boy, It was HIS fans that gave that crappy movie high number. Snap! I hope ya’all weren’t thinking your $30 did something?

April Fool @ 06/04/2006 at 10:37 pm

#38Hey Mangy trolls, why are you guys so concern with performance of TBU and cursing her and wishing her ill instead of chanting and singing about the glorious beatiful rainbow family. ASK YOURSELF THE SAME QUESTION..WHY ARE YOU HERE IDIOT!!!!!

Hey "Lisa" - you silly beeeyotch — I am ROLLING…do you honestly think Oscar winner Angelina, with her sweet little baby girl, and baby Daddy BRAD PITT - give a PHLUCK, about what coattail that sitcom hack of an actres Maniston, is riding NOW??!! Do you think The Break Up would have been a hit with Jen, and oh..MARK RUFFALO?? Bwahahahahaha!! You Maniston fans would be so funny, if you weren’t so pathetic.Vince is the one who’s "money" in this instance, you know it, he knows it, she knows it - and more importantly THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY KNOWS IT — in a weekend where NO OTHER ‘NEW" RELEASES came out - with a film where she WHORED out her own personal business to SELL TICKETS, and PIMPED her own DIVORCE w/ ‘Brad Pitt’ — the sad part is the movie would have made the same amount of dough had Vaughn been opposite Jennifer GARNER. Ahahahaha!! You Fanistons are such dumb sad beechies.

Um, actually, it was NOT a jennifer fan who brought up Angelina and Brad first. Someone posted some bullshit rumor that Jennifer cheated on Brad. Love how BAMZ fans have to rewrite history to make another woman look bad. so pathetic. And maybe when you delusional tards stop writing about Jennifer and her so-called ugly (yeah right) looks, people can move on.

Crazy Fanistons @ 06/04/2006 at 10:38 pm

# 40 | Kerry | # 39 | March | Oh you people are sad sad human beings lmao

Damn holie trolls are banding up again to fight against Lisa. Hey Lisa..congrats…keep on needling their asses…its a joy to watch the foo fools shitting and frothing.

Just wondering CLINIQUA, how many BOMBS did Angelina have? Beyond Borders, Life or Something Like It (she cannot do comedy), Original Sin, etc have all tanked. Her only hit that she led was the first lara croft, based on a popular video game. No one said that Angelina cares about box office (she shouldn’t since her movies always seem to perform poorly). People are just relishing in that sick, sad Aniston haters are soooooo pissed about this. still LMAO at the haters!! lovesit!

The film is awesome and brilliant. The cinemas were packed and people wre laughing like crazy.I’m very happy for Jen and Vince.I really hope they are together cause they make a wonderful couple

Its a Vince movie please. If Aniston was that good ,why do her previous movie fail ?

So let me get this straight…if it failed, it’s Aniston’s fault and if it succeeds, it’s because of Vince. riiiiiiiightttt (rolls eyes).63 percent also said that after hoping for a laugh, it was Aniston’s name that made them buy tickets, and 62 percent said it was Vaughn which pulled them in. http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,19186,00.html?fdnewsNice try, haters. Sooooo sad. Go back to jacking off to Beyond Borders. That movie made like 2 cents at the box office. As do most of Jolie’s films.

His movie did well. now Vince can finally dump her. GO VINCE GOOOO!

The Real Hmmmm @ 06/04/2006 at 10:51 pm

My Fellow Bamz FansYa’all don’t need to do this…Everybody and their mother knows this movie isn’t JA’s **** except the JenJen fans. We have MORE to celebrate than these sad souls, Ya’all let them have the moment in peace. You know come next week they’ll be back in the state of acute depression when the movie sinks like a rock in water. Ya’all come on, let’s get outta here before they infect us with their bad luck.

# 51 | June | - lmao, so if the world is laughing at us for idolizing other celebrities(I won’t call names because to me calling someone you don’t know if a sign of how uneducated you are) then they almost must be laughing at you guys for doing the same thing right. Anyway, thanks for the entertainment and enjoy your idol success lol

^ WOW. Thanks for proving how much of a loser BAMZ fans are. Soooooooooo sad. Actually hoping that Jennifer Aniston, a woman who did nothing wrong other than divorce someone, failed in her career? Get help. Please.

Carmella & Jon @ 06/04/2006 at 10:57 pm

I saw The Break Up Friday night–with a man who probably liked it as much or more than I did. He’s a long-standing JA fan and also a VV fan now, thanks to me!

I saw the B/Up (with a date). And we both "get" what the reviewer who wrote the following meant:"The Break-Up" and "High Fidelity" are the only two romantic comedies of the past 10 or so years that "get it." And by "it," I mean they actually have a higher romantic I.Q. than your average lovesick third grader fumbling through the pathetic prose on his Power Ranger valentine."Great date movie. Glad I saw it.

Indy Reviews @ 06/04/2006 at 11:11 pm

This is why Anistton Fans Like The Break Up CRUDE LANGUAGEGary and a couple of other characters make repeated crude comments and jokes about sex. In describing Brooke’s family, Gary uses crude language to remind her that her dad "touched" an exchange student, that her sister had sex with the Arizona Cardinals offensive line, and that her brother is gay. (She denies the latter charge, though her brother’s effeminate personality is played for laughs.) Srange Sexual ContentGary’s younger brother is acknowledged by all the other characters as "a pervert," taking Gary to a club full of "young, dumb, a–" where several women are seen in revealing clothing. He begins to describe to two women what he’d like to do to them sexually using plastic wrap. Later, he and Gary entertain a group of (what seem to be) strippers and/or prostitutes for a night of strip poker. The camera glimpses several of them in revealing outfits; one is very briefly seen partially naked making out with Gary’s brother. Gary is naked except for a couch pillow in his lap.Elsewhere, some of Brooke’s tops are low-cut. Taking advice from her boss to get a below-the-belt wax job called the "Telly Savalas," Brooke is seen (from behind) walking naked through the condo to make Gary jealous about a date with another guy. To fight back, Gary tells the guy what drinks get her in the mood for sex and what sexual fantasies she likes. Later, we glimpse a naked male torso as Brooke’s boss sketches a nude model in her office. Brooke sees him from both front and back, and we see the drawing of what the boss calls his "gorgeous tuckus." Lame Fighting An unlikely character takes an angry Gary down with a few effective punches and kicks, resulting in a bloody nose and bruised throat. We watch Gary play a few violent seconds of Grand Theft Auto and a boxing video game. Crude Language In addition to one use of the f-word and about 20 s-words, "d–n" is exclaimed around 25 times, usually with God’s name in front of it. Jesus’ name is used for swearing close to 10 times. Also heard are 10 or so uses each of "a–" and "h—." Crude language includes multiple uses of slang for parts of the male and female aatomy and several descriptive phrases for sex. DrinkingWine and beer are consumed at dinner parties and at a bar. Gary drinks harder stuff from the bottle.Racial comments Gary’s younger brother begins to make a crude racial joke at a dinner party.Tabloid lovers love this stuff!

grey graham @ 06/04/2006 at 11:14 pm

No–it’s comments like this one written by a review of the movie that best explain why Aniston Fans like this movie: "The Break-Up" and "High Fidelity" are the only two romantic comedies of the past 10 or so years that "get it." And by "it," I mean they actually have a higher romantic I.Q. than your average lovesick third grader fumbling through the pathetic prose on his Power Ranger valentine."

Fanistons, your girl is along for the ride. It’s what she does. Face facts. One moderate hit - does not erase the 4 previous dead dogs in which SHE was the star, and in which SHE was the only opening name. I’m really happy for Vince, and I will not detract from HIS success in anyway by inferring that Maniston had anything to do with it. LOLOL! It’s too sad that you fanistons are such fickle fans that you couldn’t have gotten up off your duffs, and given Maniston a success ON HER OWN. I mean, just what kind of fans ARE YOU, that you only turn out when she’s in a film with someone PROVEN to be ‘money’ a the box office. What’s next FANISTONS?? I bet you can’t WAIT til HER NEXT SUCCESS, starring OPPOSITE BATMAN, THE TITANIC & TOM CRUISE in MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 4…..LOL..I think she’s finally FOUND her NICHE, schtupping her way into films featuring PROVEN winners ALREADY, THEN taking CREDIT.Muahahaha. You guys are soooo sad.On a second note, looking at that PICTURE of ANISTON up TOP…I have to state my admiration for BRAD PITT once again…he is a beautiful soul and kind man who can TRULY look PAST THE EXTERIOR, into the INNER PERSON. Seriously, to be the hottest guy in Hollywood, and then to hook up with THAT. He’s a saint. Angelina and the babies are truly lucky to have such a selfless good man in there lives. I wish I was better at photoshopping - that one pic of her in the center, is a DEAD RINGER for Dustin Hoffman, it is an INCREDIBLE likeness.

Fans of Vince Vaughn’s rapid-fire comic delivery might find a few laughs in the very early going of this so-called "anti-romantic comedy." But after sitting all the way through The Break-Up, fans of Vaughn and co-star Jennifer Aniston might be harder to find. This unlikable film does neither many favors.Vaughn bludgeons what remains of the charm from his aging frat-boy act by forcing us to imagine what it might be like to actually live with him 20 years, 25 pounds and zero maturity after college graduation. He so clearly doesn’t deserve to be in any kind of relationship with Anniston’s pleasant (if vacant) character that she loses likeability points for not seeing through his shtick in the first place.It’s not that their arguments don’t ring true. Anyone who’s ever been in a relationship will recognize the familiar accusations, counterattacks, hurtful comments, attempts to get even, and resulting regret. In fact, that’s the problem. The spatting in The Break-Up settles for re-creating pedestrian domestic squabbling instead of making it outrageous enough to laugh at or making it revealing enough to move us. All we’re left with is sitting on the sidelines with the couple’s friends thinking, "These people need to grow up already."And to be fair, the film does suggest that the breakup forces both to take stock of themselves and change for the better. For me, it also exposes the flaw in the relationship philosophy that suggests it’s wiser to live together before getting married. Some might surmise that the story of The Break-Up confirms the need to avoid the marriage commitment until you see how things will go in a condo. As rational as that sounds, the point is missed. The commitment and self-sacrifice of marriage is designed to hold two selfish people together as they learn to be less selfish people. It’s not, of course, that married people don’t go through seasons of fighting like the couple in this film; it’s that the deep commitment of biblical marriage forces them back to self-sacrifice, forgiveness and finding new ways to reconnect. We’re meant to to grow together through the storms of growing up instead of growing up through the storms of repeated failed relationships. Marriage is always hard work. Living together first doesn’t make it easier. It just makes it easier to get out.Come to think of it, though, getting out isn’t a bad idea if you find yourself in the vicinity of The Break-Up. Why commit yourself to 90 coarse (and slow) minutes of watching this couple’s relationship grind to a painful stop?

COLD HARD MATH @ 06/04/2006 at 11:30 pm

Everyone involved has moved on, I know Brad has!JA: Finally a movie that did not tank.BRAD: Angelina, three beautiful children.( I know we have not seen Shiloh, but we all know that she is beautiful.)As the infamous Rodney King once said: CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?!

whose the money? @ 06/04/2006 at 11:30 pm

In addition to early success with The Break Up )(well deserved JEN & VINCE), VV’s last movie just won 3 MTV awards. Jen traded up and from those papz pics from Wrigley last week, looks like Vince is happy she did. Both Vince and Jennifer look happy in these photos too. So friends, lovers, whatever they are, they appear to have been good for each other.

i thought VV & JA’s acting was impressive in TBU. both actors showed they could stretch themselves and do the sarcastic comedic timing as well as deeply emotional stuff. some of the scenes were powerful. but the story was AWFUL!!! not sure if VV co-wrote it or not, but whoever did should not write another screenplay EVER!

love The Break Up @ 06/04/2006 at 11:34 pm

SAW THE MOVE AND I WOULD SEE IT AGAIN>The Break-Up (2006)movie review by Jeffrey Westhoff, Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) The Break-Up is more like Annie Hall told with Chicago attitude and work ethic.Halfway into the big fight that signals the breakup in "The Break-Up," we realize the movie is more than we bargained for.The advertising and the personalities of Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston have conditioned us to expect a wackiness. And we laugh when the fateful argument begins. "Why would I want to do the dishes?" Vaughn yells. "Nobody wants to do the dishes." Yup, ha ha ha. He’s got her there.Before the fight ends, however, we realize we’re listening to a painfully realistic argument between lovers now fed up with each other. Give Vaughn and Aniston Southern accents %u2013 and perhaps a crutch %u2013 and this could be a scene from Tennessee Williams."The Break-Up" is a comedy, but not in the mold of "The Wedding Crashers," Vaughn’s big hit from last summer. "The Break-Up" is more like "Annie Hall" told with Chicago attitude and work ethic. Beer bellies and sarcasm define the characters rather than preening intellectualism and dry wit, but the subject is what drives people apart when they think they belong together.Brooke (Aniston) should have expected trouble from fast-talking Gary (Vaughn). He picked her up at Wrigley Field while she was on date. Yet two years of apparent bliss follow before Brooke explodes at him. She has spent the evening preparing a meal for their families and instead of helping her clean, Gary flops on the couch to play "Grand Theft Auto."They no longer want to see each other, but they share a condo and neither wants to give it up. So Gary and Brooke remain antagonistic roommates, scouting tactics to annoy or humiliate the other.Vaughn and Aniston have terrific chemistry as friends and foes, and they supposedly became an off-screen couple during filming

Fanistons, congrats on showing up this time or was it the fratboy VV fans? Anyway X can now claim she’s on the same level acting wise as the other Jen, Jennifer Lopez. I peronally don’t think so, but if she picks parts as diverse as La Lopez, maybe she’ll reach B list status just like Lopez is (barely).

fair and balanced @ 06/04/2006 at 11:44 pm

Hey, sounds like a few of the BAMZ-fans visiting here might need a flashback to a few reviews of M/M Smith:… "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" proves a very long haul indeed. The sheer weight and volume of mayhem toward the end is numbing and meaningless, and two hours is a good 25 minutes more than such a frail conceit can sustain." From a review in Variety.

This was a film for people who haven’t grown up, so I am sure the young and immature audiences LOVED it. Tabloid readers finally found a real TABLOID MOVIE!! Woo Hoo.

LOL at F&B @ 06/04/2006 at 11:50 pm

Ohmigosh. That’s pretty funny. I saw both and I would see the break up again. Seeing Mr. and Mrs. Smith was just curiosity on my part, which seemed to be the reason for most of the audience. Everybody I know personally who saw it basically agrees that MRand MS was mostly drivel.

no surprise to me @ 06/04/2006 at 11:52 pm

Rock On VAUGHISTON

Let Aniston & Vaughn Fans have there weekend. Geez JA has beendrowned in so much pity , bad reviews and self martyring that she deserves to celebrate making half of what Shiloh Pitts pacifier cost! Look, this might be the ONLY day in the sun of movie making that JA has. Congrat JA & VV.!!

californiaG @ 06/04/2006 at 11:58 pm

Hey, I think I could name a few regular brangelina fans who have said "don’t believe it unless you read it in People". If you read what is posted above with the pictures it appears that it was an editor from People who said "Jennifer Aniston is a really, really good actress"Don’t understand all the whining about this being a "tabloid movie" Hypocrit much?

Okay , I am a VV fan and I went to see the movie as did most of the people at the movie theathre because of him and no the chin. that being said, which one of you who thought it was such a GREAT movie wants to give me my money back. The movie sucked.

joliepittme @ 06/05/2006 at 12:13 am

good for her! she needed something positive this week. I hope they start acting like a real couple now,

Oh man…I’m watching Roepert & Ebert ‘At the Movies’ right now — and man o man…Ebert SLAMMED it but good. Ouchy wawa…the other dude, gave it a sideways thumb, and Ebert like jams his thumb down. LMAO. The clips they showed on the program were soooooo very awful…one thing that stuck out - if Brad was living with that ***** (in the film - and she SURE came across that way — pursed lips, nasty looks), then he must be in PURE HEAVEN w/ his sweet Angelina. Man, I am depressed just having seen two seconds of it. UGH.

Grow UP!!!! @ 06/05/2006 at 12:14 am

# 19 | Patty — i totally agree with u, JA has been trying to tell everyone to get her out of that triangle, but no one listens, and in the end, they blame her for living her life the way she wants it, what if she loves tanning, what if she makes tv interviews, what if she loves highlighting, nobody has the right to tell her how to live her life, just leave her alone, quit blaming her & bashing her just because it so happened that she got divorced from BP who happened to hook up with AJ later on, could everybody grow up, BAMZ fans focus on BAMZ and Vaughniston fans focus on them & EVERYBODY grows up, ppl should focus on their life more than letting their life wasted on STUFF like that

I think if one is a real Vince Vaughn fan & seen most of his movies for sure will agree that this movie cannot be compared to his previous movies. This is no Wedding Crashers. I guess only Aniston fans are the ones clamoring about watching it again & giving glowing reviews. Might as well Aniston dump her agent Huvane since her fans are her best agent.

My husband and I saw The Break Up over the week-end and we’ll recommend it to our friends and co-workers. Good blend of comedy/drama.

interesting @ 06/05/2006 at 12:19 am

Jen fans should be happy . She has a great boyfriend. She has a hit movie. She says her life is great. This is the last movie that she or the media can connet to Brad. So there should be no reason for Jen to hint about her hurt feeling , what happened to her etc. All the things she said that is about Brad without saying Brad’s name. From now on she should be as quiet about Brad as she is now about VV. Somehow I don’t think she will but we can all hope

joliepittme @ 06/05/2006 at 12:20 am

I dont know why someone doesn’t creat a Brangelina vs. Vaughniston blog. Every damn post about either of them turns into a damn brawl.

The Break Up was awesome!!!! Loved it. Love VV and Aniston, what a wonderful job they both did, i laughed, i cried, thanks!!!

#24 What is the web address for the Princess Blog. I would love to read those comments about Clive and Jen?

The funny thing is Brad Pitt had a rep for tanning, and especially for getting highlights, long before he started dating Aniston, so nobody can blame her for his behavior. Brad has always been into his looks way more than most any other actor around. For example: plenty of actresses, and brad pitt, have been photographed leaving the hollywood botox shop. And who can forget Val Kilmer telling an interviewer that BP asked to have his muscles airbrushed in a photo. And does anybody really think he’s going to let himself go now that Jolie’s tats are drooping? I think not.

Stop lying finn . If it were that awesome 8 out of 10 critics wouldn’t have given it a rotten moldy tomato, it’s a mess with a tacked on ending they just filmed 3 weeks ago, LOL. Stop BS’ing us babe. Good on Vince, he produced it - and he can now go on to make more funny comedy man movies w/ the stillers and farrells of the world. Only next time out - he won’t have to pimp out a pretend girlfriend’s marital/divorce woes with a Hollywood FILM ACTOR SUPERSTAR. He’ll be able to hire some cute bippy with no baggage, and not exploit a bitter scorned ex-wfe a movie star. Congrats Vince, you made it baby!

Of course The Break Up is no Wedding Crashers. I for one wouldn’t want it to be. Why would anybody want to see a movie that is just more of the same, really?

to #84 curious @ 06/05/2006 at 12:38 am

That story about Clive & Jen was based on nothing. Not even so much as a tabloid rumor. I believe those posters just made those comments because other posters had pointed out how Angelina Jolie has shagged and/or married about every co-star she’s ever had and bragged about it too.

Wow, #85 — nice of you to attack new moms, that’s awfully misogynistic and woman hating of you - buta las I expect nothing less of fans of childless 40 year old leathery faced hard bodied tranny lookalikes such as Maniston. Really now #85, if Brad was THAT shallow, why would he have hooked up with a woman that looks like Tootsie’s older brother?? Come on people, THINK! He’s a saint that Brad Pitt. I’m sure Jolie’s breasts are just fine with Brad by the way, he’s probably sharing them with lil’ Shi as we speak. Don’t hate.

I certain he cared about his look but at some point he said lets get married JA and have kids and care about something other than ourselves. JA is still in that me me me mold but Brad has grown out of it.

Although I’ve never been a fan of Brad’s it doesn’t influence my movie choices. For example, I saw River Runs Through It because I liked the book and not because Brad was or was not in it.

her words @ 06/05/2006 at 1:00 am

# 96 | BE FAIR to #84 - I think most people believe that about Angelina because she personally said that it was true. She said she falls in love with all her co-stars and she did marry two of them. She also said she would marry Jenny Shimatu (?) if she could. Clearly she hooked up with brad (in some way) during the filming of M/M Smith. Plenty of stories and pictures to back all that up. Nothing to back up the Clive/Jen story.

fairy godmother @ 06/05/2006 at 1:10 am

It’s a pretty well reported fact that Jen Aniston visits her godchild Coco at least once a week when they are in the same place. (Mostly Malibu). Having been a godmother I can say that no, I am not a babysitter. Godmother’s play a far more important role in a child’s life. Some people just like to criticize everything she says, without any real reason.

I beg you please @ 06/05/2006 at 1:19 am

I am BAMZS supporter, but I beg you please … move on. Jennifer needs a hit to finally cut-off her ties with Brad. She chose her career, so let us wish her well. Brad chose to be with Angie and he was rewarded with three kids, which we all know having a happy family is the dream of his life. He has Angie, Mad, Z, and Shiloh. He is a very happy man.Let Jennifer be happy also, because if she fails in her career, she will be feel bitter forever and cannot move on … which will in a way put a burden Brad and his family. I am sure a hit movie will do her well and finally come to peace with herself. Please BAMZS fans, let us wish her well, so that everybody can move on.

Even though we all know Jennifer Aniston’s new movie The Break Up is going to suck beyond all belief, there may be one small reason to go see it: Jennifer Aniston’s Ass. According to CelebNewsWire, Aniston gets naked in the movie around the 57 minute mark (for those of you planning to wait for the DVD), but only shows her two golden cheeks.But even though she’s not showing very much in the movie, The Sun reports that Jennifer Aniston told OK Magazine that she really enjoyed walking around naked on set.Jennifer told OK! magazine: "I just got crazy, ripped off my skirt and went: ‘Woo! Woo!’ "I guess there’s something liberating about walking around completely nude. "I am comfortable being naked."Congratulations Jen on becoming a ****.

ANGELINA’S SCHEMEAngelina Jolie, 28, recently proved that in addition to her beauty, she also has brains. On April 1, the Oscar winner was shooting a dinner scene with Brad Pitt for the film Mr. And Mrs. Smith at the L.A. restaurant Cicada. According to an extra in the movie, "The assistant directors made sure to surround [Jolie and Pitt] with the oldest and homeliest extras on the set." The source said when one attractive blonde extra asked why she was being moved away from the stars, she was told, "Angelina doesn’t want anyone distracting in her shots."

I watched the break up with my boyfriend last friday. i told my bf already before we saw it if he was ready to get bored, and that it might suck because of what the reviews have said, but we decided to watch it anyway just out of curiousity, just the same reason why we watched mr&mrs.smith. we were supposed to see the 8:35 show but when we got there at 8 it was sold out, so we had to get the 9:35 show. we came back at 9pm expecting not too many people in the theatre but damn…it was full, we had to sit real close to the screen which i hate. well the movie was pretty good. people were laughing at the jokes, and esp. the men seem to enjoy it. i was even annoyed at the guy next to me because trust me he did not stop laughing it got annoying. the end part was kinda sad but i loved that it is not ur typical romantic comedy where everything has a happy ending. some people in the theatre did not get up to leave right away thinking there would be an end scene after the credits. it liked the movie and my i think my bf enjoyed it more than i did surprisingly. vince is funny, and i thought jen really did a good job,she surprised me. overall good movie and 2 days after the movie, me and my bf find ourselves mentioning or talking about a scene from the movie which we could relate to. i enjoyed this movie more than i did mr&mrs smith.

Aniston Agonistes: Good Girl, Odd Film Choices Sign In to E-Mail This Print Save By CARYN JAMESPublished: June 5, 2006There was a moment back in 2002 when Jennifer Aniston gave such a lovely, heartbreaking performance in the small film "The Good Girl" that her future as a serious actress seemed secure. And it was less than a year ago that women in Los Angeles wore T-shirts reading "Team Aniston," sympathizing with her as a real-life good girl dumped by that cad Brad Pitt for the femme fatale from "Team Jolie." But since then Ms. Aniston’s career has seemed like a case study in how not to become a movie star, how to forfeit the title of America’s sweetheart and how savagely those on-and-off-screen roles can merge. How did her career go haywire so fast? And can her latest gambit, the box-office hit "The Break-Up," set it right?A wan, predictable romantic comedy, "The Break-Up" reveals a lot about the problems — the brittle on-screen persona and the public relations misfires — behind her wavering career. The film, in which she and Vince Vaughn play a separated couple living in and squabbling over their Chicago condo, was No. 1 at the weekend box office, making just over $38 million, beyond the most optimistic industry predictions. That showing may owe something to the lack of competition for romantic comedies, but it is above all a tribute to the power of celebrity gossip and hype. Refusing to confirm or deny their rumored off-screen romance, the film’s stars have not-talked about it separately on late-night shows, in print interviews, all over the place. Ms. Aniston needed this hit, because "The Break-Up" follows a terrible professional run. In the last year she has appeared in two high-profile movies — the disappointing thriller "Derailed" and the stink-bomb comedy "Rumor Has It" — and the smaller "Friends With Money," in which she was the least convincing member of an ensemble. The characters in these films are wildly different, but Ms. Aniston’s performance isn’t. She projects the same high-maintenance Jennifer Aniston style — the trademark sleek hair, the natural-looking makeup, the body so toned you wonder how many hours a day a person can spend with a trainer — to be continue

# 112 | Jen is a HO | June 5, 2006 01:43 AM | Report yes good for her and embracing her ****** side, hell soon enough she’ll start stealing husbands too like some women we can name…

To Fanistons @ 06/05/2006 at 1:49 am

whether she’s supposed to be a con woman posing as an executive in "Derailed," an obituary writer for The New York Times in "Rumor Has It" (trust me, no one here looks like that), or a woman so demoralized she quits her teaching job to clean houses in "Friends With Money." Along with that polished look, she exudes coolness and self-possession even when the part calls for warmth or vulnerability. She did warm and vulnerable winningly in the cult movie "Office Space" (1999). But lately all her characters uncomfortably resemble the one who made her rich and famous, the feather-brained Rachel on "Friends," who thought being pretty was her full-time job. It’s as if she has substituted a movie-star pose for acting. Carrying an off-screen persona into movies often works, of course. It does for Mr. Vaughn, whose regular-guy routine, the working-class demeanor and untoned bod, suits his "Break-Up" role. But even if we assume that the characters’ romance was an upscale-downscale attraction of opposites, Ms. Aniston’s gleaming self-assurance in the film is intrusive. After the breakup and a supposedly excruciating night, she arrives at the art gallery where she works and is told by her style-conscious boss (Judy Davis) to go home because she looks terrible. Except she doesn’t look anything like terrible; she just has her hair pulled back in a very chic ponytail. And in the long run, all that coyness about her possible relationship with Mr. Vaughn may turn out to be a misbegotten strategy, echoing the coolness and emotional reserve of her characters. Maybe she does want to keep her private life private, but the evasions have simply ginned up curiosity, which isn’t the same as affection. Audiences like to feel a warm connection to their movie stars, like Tom Hanks or Julia Roberts. It’s an illusion, but a comforting one. The relationship with Mr. Vaughn itself may have cost Ms. Aniston sympathy. In terms of her image it doesn’t even matter if that relationship exists; the public believes it does. And while replacing Mr. Pitt with a new trophy guy would have seemed like vindication for the wounded princess, instead she has reached beneath her on the celebrity food chain. Mr. Vaughn seems smarter than his on-screen persona, and his mega-hit "Wedding Crashers" gave him some Hollywood clout. Still, nobody says, How did she get him? Just the opposite. comtinue..

To Fanistons @ 06/05/2006 at 1:50 am

To have a (possible) private relationship dissected so brutally by the public seems unfair, but then every star is complicit in constructing a public image. Some are just better at it than others. So, with her misguided media strategy, Ms. Aniston gives television interviews about the yummy hot dogs in Chicago, where "The Break-Up" was shot (and which, she doesn’t add but people know, is Mr. Vaughn’s hometown). The audience sees that she has not turned a frog into a prince; she has joined him down on the lily pad. Meanwhile, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, perfecting their mastery of the media, have gone from adopting children to adopting a whole country, Namibia. Remarkably, the press has swooned for this stunt, recasting the cad and the femme fatale as humanitarians instead of two people who brought along their Los Angeles obstetrician and who knows how many other loyal retainers to Africa to stage-manage their baby’s birth. No actor who made $18.5 million last year, as Ms. Aniston reportedly did, can be called a failure. But her biggest box-office success, "Bruce Almighty," the movie that gives Jim Carrey God-like powers, wasn’t really her film; "The Break-Up" belongs to the two-headed Vaughn-Aniston box-office anomaly. "The Good Girl" was hers. As an unhappily married woman who works at a discount store and is attracted to a younger man, she did more than pull her hair back; she disappeared into the role and made that woman understandable, believable and moving. "The Break-Up" won’t be her last chance to create such a commanding presence, but it doesn’t help, and it leaves fans of her real acting talent with a whole new Team Aniston goal to root for.

"Da Vinci" passes $400 million overseasMonday June 5 1:14 AM ET"The Da Vinci Code" led the foreign box office for a third weekend, as its total raced to $410 million — more than double its North American haul of $172.7 million.Sony forecast the film version of Dan Brown’s best-selling novel will "in the next couple of days" surpass 2002’s "Spider-Man" (overseas gross of $417.9 million) and 2004’s "Spider-Man 2" ($410.5 million) to become the studio’s biggest international hit ever."Da Vinci" earned $52 million over the weekend. It was No. 1 in Japan, Italy, Germany, Spain and six other European markets, as well as Argentina and New Zealand. Coming in a distant second was "X-Men: The Last Stand," which earned $33.5 million. The international total to date stands at $134.5 million, about $40 million less than its current domestic total."Poseidon" netted an estimated $22.9 million, taking its international total to $34.1 million. The biggest new "Poseidon" markets were South Korea (No. 1, $6.2 million), Japan (No. 3, $2.7 million) and the U.K. (No. 3, $2.4 million)."Over the Hedge" had limited overseas exposure, grossing an estimated $6.7 million from nine territories, of which six were new. The title, which has grossed $112.4 million in three weeks of U.S. playtime, bowed to an estimated $4 million in Russia. The overseas total stands at $8.6 million."Mission: Impossible III" grossed an estimated $6.6 million; its international box office total now stands at $193.9 million — about $71 million more than the picture has grossed so far in the U.S. — with Japan, China and India playdates still ahead.Reuters/Hollywood Reporter The true test for TBU is the overseas market.

JENNIFER ANISTON CAN’T "BRAEAK UP": STILL CLINGING TO BRAD AND ANGELINA BABY SHILOHWritten by Willis Rodney, Sunday 04 Jun 2006 Will She Ever Shut Up? Even long-time fans of Jennifer Aniston are exasperated and annoyed at her latest Poor Jennifer media showdown. Aniston, whose latest film ‘The Break-Up’ was released on the week her famous ex-husband Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ’s baby was to be born, is said to have encouraged producers to release the film to coincide with the birth."The Break-Up is a romantic comedy, the type of film usually associated with a February release and Valentine’s Day," explains Roger Febert, movie critic. "A May-June release of footage of a couple arguing, pitted against big-budget summer blockbusters like X-Men 3 and The Da Vinci Code is ludicrous, unless…" Febert speculates that the "coincidental" release of the film, almost exactly to the day Aniston’s former husband Brad Pitt’s first biological child is born is "anything but coincidental," and opines that Aniston’s latest attempt to milk her failed marriage for sympathy and ratings ultimately appears more pathetic than sympathetic."I will love him for the rest of my life” Jennifer Aniston semi-sobs in a recent interview regarding Brad Pitt, while on tour to promote the release of "The Break-Up," co-starring Vince Vaughn.Aniston also reveales that she enjoyed filming her nude scene quite a lot. "I just got crazy, ripped off my skirt and went ‘Woo! Woo!’ I guess there’s something liberating about walking around completely nude. I am comfortable being naked."As if responding to a silent cue, she then adds, "but I will never be as happy as the first time I was naked in front of Brad. He was the love of my life, and my heart is as broken today as it was the day I found out about… her. The world was shocked, and I was shocked about… her."Wistfully pushing back a strand of hair, the star complains, "Why do the tabloids keep asking about Brad Pitt, my husband, or former husband?? Brad, Brad, Brad. That’s all I ever hear!""But I miss him, and I know Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is a secret reference to me, when he used to call me Rachel, but he would say "Chel" don’t you see? Chel, Chello - Shilo - Shiloh. I know it’s a message from Brad that this was supposed to be my child. I dream of him every day of my pitiful, useless life…"to be continued

Pitt is also highly defensive of the mother of his child, Angelina-Jolie.Brad has moved on, and friends say he wishes Jen would do the same, or at least say ‘no comment’ and stop chatting about him to every single tabloid reporter in a wistful tone of voice, or at the very least, stop copying Brangelina’s "we’re not a couple" subterfuge by pretending she and Vaughn are "not a couple", and at the very very least, stop using her friends to leak anti-Brad Pitt The Betrayer messages to the media, or at the very very least, not announce that Shiloh’s birth has "forced" her into a psychiatrist’s office three times a week, or at the very very very very extreme end of least, stop recounting a years-old divorce to improve box office ratings for her own boring and non-entertaining movies.According to reports, Pitt even fired a pregnant employee of Plan B, the company Brad and Jennifer founded in 2003, for telling Vanity Fair magazine this month that it will be “beyond painful” for Jennifer Aniston to see her ex-husband having a child with another woman, especially Angelina Jolie. According to Pitt’s attorneys, the former Plan B employee, Kristin Hahn, spoke about him to Vanity Fair without his approval, although Aniston had given hers.

Just wanted to say that X-men 3 is the best movie EVER………just saw it yesterday, and let me tell you IT´S FANTASTIC!!!Don´t miss it!!Comparing X-men to break up….hahahahaha!!!

103 interesting @ 06/05/2006 at 7:28 am

# 103 | interesting - Thank you for saying that I sound like a great godmother. I heard the way Jen said that first hand and once again, I think you are just looking to find fault with her. I believe she, too, is a great godmother–and not just a babysitter. Give Jen a chance. Try to listen with an open mind.

happy news @ 06/05/2006 at 7:38 am

We were traveling this week-end and didn’t get a chance to see The Break Up but as a fan of many of the cast members (including JA) we plan to see it in a few days. My guy’s BF told him it’s not a chick flick and said he needed to see it because he might recognize himself. He was laughing a little but he described one scene where it really does sound just like him! :)

I think this is good for Jennifer now I hope she can stop making comments such as, I have to be strong I have no choice, I’ve had a tough couple of years, I do yoga to get through the pain, I try to be strong, I have my best friends by my side for support because they are so loyal, I have learned so much the last 3 years of my life. Now this positive thing assoc. with this movie I hope you her FANS can call on her now and tell her to just say NO COMMENT to the media. I really like her but the maintream media sees her as this pathetic human being and the poster child for all women that have been dumped and not valuable.

Our local reviewer gave this movie very high marks. I live in a metropolitan area with plenty of forms of entertainment to choose from and all the top movies were showing here. Seating was packed and everybody seemed to enjoy it. (You could tell from the upbeat comments overhead while exiting the theatre.) I’m a big fan of Jen Aniston and until this movie not quite sure about the VV connection. I like them together. The anti-Ken&Barbie.

TL - you are just putting words in Aniston’s mouth that she never said. She may have said she did yoga to stay centered but I probably have said something very similar myself about tai chi. I have never been married to Brad Pitt nor have I wanted to be. That yoga is paying of for Jen too from the looks of her body in this movie.She was s-m-o-k-i-n-g hot. Looked great for every costume change and her performance as Brooke was very sweet–funny and vulnerable and very credible.

please you guys celebrate this as a success this is her choice so be happy for this women and help her move on. I know that VV is not the cream of the crop but this is who she needs at this time.

Vince may not be the cream of the crop but at least he aint the scum of the earth like Holie and her Pittiful ****

The movie is not that good. I give it 2 stars, because the ending is so stupid. Jen acts like Rachel Green all the way through the movie.

carolina a.m. @ 06/05/2006 at 8:07 am

It’s obvioius that some of you criticizing the Break Up are just big fans of the couple from M/MSmith. Just tell me how you got past reviews like this 1 star rating: "Pitt and Jolie play secret agents who don’t know each other’s line of work when they get married, then become rivals and eventually partners in the licensed-to-kill game. The movie is a mish-mash of action-adventure clichés, book-ended with lame attempts at psychological interest. Written, directed, and acted with ham-fisted heaviness." OUCHWe don’t all like the same things. I liked the Break Up better than I liked the other movie and I can speak from my own personal experience of each.

142/lol-BRAD AND ANGELINA’S MOVIE DID SO MUCH BETTER. THEY’RE NOT SCUM JEN IS. JENN GETS NAKED IN THIS MOVIE, OMG.IN MR AND MRS SMITH ANGELINA KEEP HER CLOTHES ON, IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS CRAPPY MOVIE.

I just went to see it Sat night….great movie. Jennifer Aniston is fabulous….the movie really showcases her talent. It is ridiculous how much venom is on this board over a movie.

Vince Rocks! @ 06/05/2006 at 8:13 am

what do you mean he’s not the cream of the crop?This man is on a roll with a string of recent successes. Saturday night his last movie, Wedding Crashers, won 3 MTV awards. If you like you boys pretty then maybe you think that, but if you like them funny and interesting and unique, Vince is THE MAN. And you know it!!!

NOw I hope both JA AND B/A fans can be happy. JA has a movie hit and B/A have a family.They seem to both have their dreams come true this is a good day. Cant we really just celeabrate that and wish them well and be happy that they got divorced.

I went yesterday to see it. It is a sh*ty movie. No chemistry on the set at all. This movie will not make much. Vince wil dump her soon.

BAD MOVIE @ 06/05/2006 at 8:17 am

This movie will not make as much as Mr and Mrs Smith. Aniston is awful at acting in anything.Vince was ok, but the movie sucked.

Well 38mil is good for a romantic comedy. I still think that it was number 1 because there were no other new openings. X-men stunk. We’ll see how it does the following weeks.

FIC UPDATE on EA, by CLINIQUA — enjoy! Signed,me. :)

102 | I beg you please |: I agree with you!I’m glad Jen and VV movie went to # 1.She’s a person just like everyone else, let her have her choice in what she does with her life and be happy with it. Good on her!

‘So let me get this straight…if it failed, it’s Aniston’s fault and if it succeeds, it’s because of Vince’people said this way before this movie came out … due to Aniston’s big screen track record.

MALIBUMOM @ 06/05/2006 at 9:05 am

I am so sick of nasty comments about all ppl in this "square"-Technically a triangle has 3 sides, JA,VV,AJ,BP =4 ppl. Anyway-I said a long time ago-JA can do whatever she wants to with her money, tan, gamble, drink or whatever, I am SICK of the criticism from both sides-My daughter is going to see the BU this weekend-I was surprised at myself when she told me-my first reaction was What? Why would you pay money to see JA?" She said I really like VV. Then I apologized because I was so caught up with this bull—-t volley between the celebrities-I aplologized, told her to have a good time, -I am a BAMZS fan 100% I totally disagree with media manipulation to make another person look bad while making yourself look good-I totally disagree with not speaking up when you could give clarification on a situation to set the record straight-There are interviews by JA where she contradicts herself when speaking of Brad and that’s f’d up. If Brad did the same, I would say the same about him- Whatever these 4 ppl do is their business, as far as we know they ALL could be media whores and basically we are paying them to do so if they are-I hope the break-up does well enough for Jennifer to be satisfied and happy-I wish the best to all of them and much love to baby Shiloh-Lastly, I have NEVER seen a VV movie ( I saw mams but he was a minor character) My daughter is quiet and very very compsed-If VV can get her to laugh like she did when she say the wedding Crashers, I must see the movie-I hope the Anniston/Vaughn Fans have a great day and of course Rock on BAMZS/God Bless U all!

Congratulations!!…………To Jennifer and Vince!!……………and Brad and Angelina!!……..

Congrats JA & VV @ 06/05/2006 at 9:15 am

Stats:*3rd best opening for a romantic comedy EVER*BEST ever opening for a romantic comedy in June, which is the month of weddings and love (quote from a mag)*personal best for VV and JA*JA is considered one of the most successful actors of the time…who drastically changed career gears ..from being a sitcim star to the big screen.

hurray it made it i have heard the reviews and they were bad i wanted this film to be a box office hit not essentia;lly because i think it is a good movie but because i wanted jen to remain within the game she has three more films to go and they are all dramas those are they ones i am waiting for i feel those three are what will make her career so jen enjoy this moment and work hard on your next films you will make it whom knows in two years time she might obe n the stage winning and oscar and it will be through it all people damn it i made it till then do i say congrats jen and vince whatever people say em who cares ,their views really do not matter obviouly people love yu and that is why they went to watch goodluck and i pray your happiness, joy will start overflowing t is about time girl and thanks once again vince for standing by her you have shown alot of character and sttrength and damn it do we need more people like you whom know they are not perfect but could care less because this is life and we all are all passing through brad is happy and jen is too time to move on guys and the beat goes on

Enjoyable film @ 06/05/2006 at 9:19 am

I think the marketing of the film was poor since it was portrayed as a "romantic comedy". Vince’s script was intended to to GO AGAINST the typical soppy romantic comedy. I think this is why it had so many negative reviews. My husband and I went to see it and really enjoyed it. Will see it again in a few weeks. It is called the BREAK UP so obviously it is not a soppy love story. Very refreshing and very true to life.

Jen did so well at the box office and I am not surprised. I always knew she is such a talented and lovely actress who is just WHOLE. And for those of you very tiny amount of haters who are disappointed that she did so well, well, too bad. You just will have to swallow this one.

I personally hope this movie does well so that maybe then the fans will all go their own separate ways. However it does here stateside, I doubt it will do well overseas. Neither actor has the clout or name recognition that is needed and the script etc. will not translate well into foreign languages. Just as most went to see it because of either Vince or Jen here this weekend; most in Europe and Asia will not because they don’t know who the hell they are. That is just a fact.

#147 - NikkiWhat a stupid comment. What "chemistry" are you looking for when the movie is about a BREAK UP?

Another bomb @ 06/05/2006 at 9:51 am

THIS MOVIE WAS AWFUL. VINCE DID HIS BEST, BUT ANISTON IS NO ACTRESS. SHE NEEDS TO GIVE THAT IDEA UP.HER BODY LOOKED SO OLD IN THE MOVIE. YUCK.

nikki uareright @ 06/05/2006 at 9:58 am

Dont start celebrating yet, this movie will never make it. Jen and Vince have no chemistry on screen or off. There whole relationship was a lie for this dumb movie.

ohhh it hurts to look at that massive chin heaven help meee

See, this makes me sad. First of all, this movie was pathetic, filled with gay jokes and clichés. Second of all, why are all these posts filled with negativity towards either BAMZS or Jennifer Aniston. I mean, seriously. This thread has NOTHING to do with Brad, Angelina, Maddox, Zahara OR Shiloh, so just shut up.

Mia for BAMZS @ 06/05/2006 at 10:38 am

Mia Farrow has given Angelina Jolie her blessing for adopting. The 61-year-old screen icon - who is mother to 10 adopted children - has praised the ‘Tomb Raider’ beauty, who gave birth to her first biological child, Shiloh Nouvel, last month, for giving a home to two orphans.The ‘Omen’ star said: "I don’t know if Angelina even knows my name, but I do think she’s absolutely lovely and her good heart is there for all to see."If we met, I don’t know what I’d say to her except maybe, ‘God speed. Be safe. Be happy! Bless you and your kids’." The actress also defended Angelina, who is dating Brad Pitt, over claims her charity work is carried out for self-publicity.She told Britain’s Independent newspaper: "These people don’t need additional focus or respect. I’m not that cynical at all. Angelina has given not only her time, but her money to assist people who need it most."In the past, entertainers have usually led selfish and egotistical lives so I like it when I see people like Angelina trying so hard. I think she has raised some awareness and that she has an extremely good heart."

To the BAMZ+S Fanatics:You guys are only making yourselves look so lame and desperate by bashing this film. Get over it — it is a bonified HIT!As much as you hoped and prayed that it would tank, it didn’t and now you all are tearing your hair out over it… ESPECIALLY CLINIQUA!CLINIQUA: Girl, can you get anymore desperate with your posting over and over and over? You look soooo pathetic!I have a question for the BAMZ-FREAKS who claim this movie sucked…. Why in the world would YOU of all people go see it??? Bet you didn’t and you’re just claiming you did and saying it sucked in desperate hope of convincing others not to see it. TOO LATE. It’s an awesome flick, Jennifer is amazing, the theatres are FULL and there’s NOTHIN you can do about it!! LOLOLGuess all you losers, who worship homewreckers, whores and certain self-absorbed actors, are actually IN THE MINORITY!Angelina-Hobag and Braddy Stinky-Pitts had to run away from the U.S. to avoid all the bad publicity and I hope they continue to hide-out in their third-world world — it’s where they belong.

3 57 bells:WHAT??? YOU ARE LUMPING THAT BREAK-DOWN TO HIGH FIDELITY???SACRILEGE!and i rarely use capital letters, my heart..

Media Chick @ 06/05/2006 at 10:45 am

The real story here is Vince Vaughn in my opinion. Jennifer will always be Jennifer. But Vince is mulitalented and his star is rising. When you compare his promotional interviews with that of Jennifer, it’s like night and day. "Verbal gymnastics" is how the media call Vince’s way of talking LOL!!!. I managed to catch VV interviews and he’s got a snarky bent that I like. He comes across as likeable, witty, self depricating & interesting although tired (those circles under his eyes). In comparison to Jen’s press work, well she didn’t say much. Her pesonality didn’t come across. She was too laid back and let the interviewers to the talking. VV press worked in his favor. He was describing his next project playing Santa Claus’ blacksheep brother Joe Claus, and it was funny. He mentioned that Santa gets all the glory and Joe is pissed off and not going to take it anymore. Funny stuff I tell you!! I see that everyone is gloating about Jennifer and her success without acknowledging VV . Jennifer was no different in this film than her past 4.VV, contratulations…you’re becoming a power player in this industry.

I’m happy Jen got what she wanted–a hit movie and a new romance. Brad got what he wanted–a chance to do volunteer work in the third world, a great love and a beautiful family complete with kids. So everyone is happy, why can’t the BAMZS and JA fans be happy now?

The only reason this movie brought in 38ml, because their was no other movie that came out this wekend. Vince was just as bad as Aniston. These two cant act.

Media Chick @ 06/05/2006 at 10:51 am

Oh and I agree with the person who said that this film was not one of VV’s best. Having this film be number 1 will enable him to really get the attention he deserves and get project he wants to make.

#147 - NikkiWhat a stupid comment. What "chemistry" are you looking for when the movie is about a BREAK UP? # 163 | Chaz ——————–I actually thought there was plenty of chemistry between Vince and Jen. Loved that opening "photo montage" with Jen’s 100 watt smile going on in almost every frame. You know these two have a blast together in real life. And before anybody starts, don’t know about Vince but do know that Jen gives to her charities just like many other stars. Even Oprah tries to do a lot under the radar and there’s nothing wrong with that. In some ways I prefer that style for myself.

170 | Jezebel You are the looser, using those vandalistic language without any rational point of view.

Team VV & JA @ 06/05/2006 at 10:59 am

#172 - What the heck is your problem. There are plenty of people her giving Vince his due !! It’s possible this couple brings out the best in each other and they are a good team. Hope they last forever in some way, either as friends or lovers.

awww, so cute @ 06/05/2006 at 11:03 am

Side by side photos of Jennifer and Vince in People magazine on line. They are a very cute couple. Bet Vince is loving that MSN comparison Team Vaughn vs. Team Pitt and he WINS!!!Brad wont the best abs category with a caveat: "try not to act like you’re doing us a favor by taking your shirt off." LOL

YA’LL!!……….DO LIKE YO MOMMA TOLD YA ! IF YA AINT GOT NUTTIN NICE TO SAY DONT SAY NUTTIN AT ALL! Thank you, from the Ozarks

DO HER PALMS LOOK REALLY WRINKLED IN THE 3RD PIC DOWN ON THE RIGHT……MY HANDS DONT LOOK THAT WRINKLED AND I AM 42.. HELL I LOOK MORE LIKE ANGELINA THAN JEN……..HEHE…….JUST ASKING ABOUT HER PALMS?.ANYONE?

Congrats to JenJen. I am sure this success was worth losing her marriage.

Jen's Cool @ 06/05/2006 at 11:35 am

#4, We are not her fans and we are still going to rag on Brangelina. Get a clue. Brangelina will always be "hated."

Jen's Cool @ 06/05/2006 at 11:53 am

#182, Whatever. Jen lost her marriage because BRAD cheated on her. So, she doesn’t want to have a kid. She’s accepted it. She’ll do it when she’s ready. I think it’s pathetic though that Angelina goes and rushes to have a baby for Brad. Everyone should have known beforehand that the psycho lover that she is, she WOULD go do something like that. That’s why none of her relationships last. Goin and havin a baby…. for WHAT? To prove what? Her decisions in things are ridiculous. That’s why they can’t even admit they’re having a relationship. Brad’s probably too embarassed to do it. After getting to know Angelina, i’m sure he never wanted to take this relationship seriously. Let him have his fat lipped babies and be on his way out the door eventually. He was having an affair even before a he got a divorce. I think he rushed into things and he’s going to regret it.

Jen's Cool @ 06/05/2006 at 11:55 am

#40, it’s not HER fans. When will you get the FACT that there are others, not just Jen fans, who don’t like Brangelina. In fact, I think the MAJORITY of people who rag on Brangelina are NOT Jen fans. And with Brangelina’s own fans feeding the hate.

People - let aniston have her moment. If you keep throwing darts at the board, eventually you’ll get a bullseye. Now I’m neither and aniston fan nor a Jolie one. In fact, I think they are both medicore. Let bygones be bygones.

to #123—is it really? has reese done this? jessica Alba? or does it just show you how immoral & craving attention she really is? how she wants people (men) to like her- to lust after her-no, a true A lister wouldnt have to do that-theyre good enough actors to be able to carry a movie w/ their acting performance-not their preformance on stage. Or does this show how she has no respect for herself-to show something like that-DID U SEE TAKING LIVES? it was like a friggin porno. Im scared for life- i saw stuff that i never wanted to see.Jessica Alba has it written in all her contracts that she wont even be nude.And oh yes, jens done this too- (rockstar…) but she WAS trying to make it in the biz. Granted , that doesnt mean she should EVER fall that low. And its disapointing.in all honesty, i think the only reason Jolie won that oscar was because she was playing herself- no acting involved in that one—she is really a phycotic nymphomaniac–that ramps around ******** everything it can get its hands on….Shes even said it before.

i meant not their performance in bed++sorry

Hebrews for BAMZS @ 06/05/2006 at 12:35 pm

Residents of the West Bank settlement of Shiloh voiced pleasure at having a new namesake in the daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. “Residents of ancient and renewed Shiloh wish the new Shiloh good health and a productive life,” Yisrael Medad, a community official, said in a statement circulated this week. Shiloh means “peaceful one.” It was also the biblical site where Joshua first divided up the newly conquered Land of Israel among the 12 tribes descended from the patriarch Jacob.

Vince's Credit @ 06/05/2006 at 12:41 pm

But first – a huge jump up and down giddy clap clap for Vince Vaughn. Just as I hoped for last week, his star is safe and his Break Up ruled the box office. A huge congratulations also to Jennifer Aniston who has succeeded yet again in hitching her Chin onto the back of a winning ride. Strategic loving is always a better play than strategic crying, don’t you think? As always, pics are on the site http://www.laineygossip.com/

bamz fans r crazy @ 06/05/2006 at 12:57 pm

My boyfriend and I went to see TBU last night. The theater was packed and people laughed at the funny scenes. I thought JA was good in her role. I’m not her fan and have never watched Friends before so I have no idea if she played the same character in Friends, but I thought she was really good in TBU. We’re Vince fans and I heard that he wrote the cript with her in mind so he did choose the right actress for this movie. I hope Vince and JA make their relationship work in real life so all the crazy BAMZ fans will have nothing to ***** about.

Aw, #192, your grammar is all over the place, only your emotions are messier.

# 129 Anastassakis YOU DA MAN!!! YOU ARE SO FUNNY!!

Warped BAMZ fans @ 06/05/2006 at 1:22 pm

#192 and #193 PattyWow - you sound so frustrated and bitter about Vince/JA’s film breaking records this weekend. To attack someone’s grammar (which was fine anyways) on a blog posting is ludicrous!! Pitiful soul that you are… Go out and get drunk so you can continue living your dilusional dreams about Jolie.

loved the movie @ 06/05/2006 at 1:24 pm

I see all movies that half-way interest me and make up my own mind about them. I think Vince and Jen both gave very convincing performances in their roles. I’m not into sci-fi or shoot ‘em up movies though but anything that is entertaining and thought-provoking, I’m there.Recommend this move to one and all. If you don’t want to see it on principal because you’re a brad or angie fan, then suit yourself. (HAHA, I bet even they will see it, though!)

HateShilohAlready @ 06/05/2006 at 1:28 pm

Great, Angelina "changed" when she got Maddox. I still don’t think you go and rush to have a baby. You can’t have a family in a year. I think they defintely rushed into things. And I don’t think brad cares that they rsuhed into things. I think he wanted have his beautiful puffy lipped babies and that’s it. But he’s going to get tired of Angelina and her lifestyle eventually. And I think Angelina is a fool for making the decision to have his baby like that. You just don’t rush into things like that. Who knows? Maybe Angelina will be the one to break and leave the relationship. I wonder if she’ll eventually get a nervous break down. Or if Brad will. I wish there was some PSYCHIC who could tell us these things. Or a relationship expert. Because a majority of people don’t know whther or not it’ll last. Havin a baby is not like getting a tattoo. You can’t just have one because you feel like it.

lookwhaticando @ 06/05/2006 at 1:45 pm

With word of mouth, this movie will still flop. Most people that went to see it were not happy with the picture. They went to see Vince Vaughn because he is a good actor, and funny, People went expecting to see a flick as good as the wedding crashers, and Swingers. JenChin stunk in the movie, and everyone knows this, even her.

bamz fans r crazy @ 06/05/2006 at 1:52 pm

#198 and #199: I’m not fan of aniston or jolie. But I always thought the BAMZ fans are psychos. #199 is a good example. #198, you’d better have a gun in your house so if and when #199 ever finds out where you live, you just blow the psycho’s brains out and flush it down the toilet.

#200that’s a good one

Go Home ChinChin @ 06/05/2006 at 2:44 pm

VV is the talent in this movie and only V. The reason the movie did well it’s first weekend was because of V. The Chin was just a PROP. The Chin has no talent. Most and I mean Most people that went to see the movie were Very disappointed. After they tell their friends and co-workers the movie will be lucky to make 10 million this weekend. However all thanks would go to V. Chin is a Z list actor. She is horrible in this movie.

LuckyManFaceChin @ 06/05/2006 at 2:54 pm

Jennifer Aniston has nothing to be proud of. She is riding on Vinces coat tail just as she did with Brad Pitt. All the papers are saying How jennifer lucked out on this one. She will never make a good movie on her on merit. She has zero talent. I am happy for Vince. He is a nice guy who is a good actor, and he deserves better than that leach Jennifer for real.

VINCEDUMPCHIN @ 06/05/2006 at 3:11 pm

JEN’S PHONE WILL STILL NOT BE RINGING OFF THE HOOK FOR ACTING JOBS. EXECUTIVES NO SHE CAN NOT ACT. VINCE MADE THIS MOVIE. VINCE IS VERY HOT RIGHT NOW. JEN IS STILL COLD AND UNABLE TO ACT NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY THIS MOVIE MAKES, THIS IS VINCE VAUGHNS MOVIE. NEXT WEEK WATCH THE TOTALS DROP. NOT EVEN VINCE CAN SAVE MANISTON. LIKE ANOTHER POSTER SAID. MAN CHIN IS YET AGAIN RIDING ON ANOTHER REAL ACTORS COAT TAIL. ””’SAD””’

remember da truth @ 06/05/2006 at 3:29 pm

From a friend of mine:Well… you will be happy to know that I wasted 20 bucks to see the very terrible movie, The Breakup. Even though I think Jennifer is a jerk, for some reason, I still think I am going to like her movies… but mainly, I just really like VinceVaughn… he is crazy! The movie was awful… it was actually like watching your best friend and her boyfriend (who you also care about) fight and say and do really hurtful things to each other for 2 hours. I was waiting for that to become funny,but it never did. I think Jennifer Aniston should thank her lucky stars that the writers of Friends were so talented… or she would be a nobody right now. She actually made Vince Vaughn unfunny… I understood her argument, but the issue wastoo real to be funny. What is funny about being ignored by your husband while he watches ESPN while you are slaving away for the dinner party? Nothing… and there is nothing funny about the fight that happens or the breakup. It would have been different if they fought because he had the bad habit of jumping up and down on the bed with the kids like in Mrs. Doubtfire.

JA sucks! @ 06/05/2006 at 3:30 pm

I’m happy for Vince. Jennifer Aniston can die in a hole for all I care.I had to imagine she was someone else the entire movie!!!***** should let Vince go if she wasn’t in this movie it would have made WAY MORE MONEY!Someone should tell her Friends ENDED some years ago and to all her dilusional fans. WTF, she’s still Rachel Green. ***** can’t act for ****!

SHILOH IS PRETTY @ 06/05/2006 at 3:44 pm

JA loses again... @ 06/05/2006 at 3:46 pm

"It is widely being reported, much to the chagrin of the JA camp, that the ticket sales to TBU have been tampered with - aka - PR people buying enormous volumes of tickets on-line, to generate more sales to ensure a box-office smash to aid her failing career."

CLINIQUA, I can not see anyone in their right mind can call Brad Pitt a selfless man. He cheated on his wife, who did not one thing wrong. Just because his fans have some kind of sick fantasy about him now doesn’t change that. He’ll cheat on Angelina someday too when she doesn’t live up to his expectations. And anyone who doesn’t believe that is blind.

Who cars if Jennifer Aniston doesn’t want to have a child? So ****** what? Not every woman on earth has to have a child. That doesn’t make her an evil human being that deserves to be cheated on and hated.

#187 hahahahaYeah, I saw Taking Lives and really, it was hardly any different than any other sex scene. It just had Angelina in it, and you obviously have trouble with her sexuality. She has hardly had any sex partners, but people like you who have repressed sex lives and issues with sex see her obvious appeal and immediately think she’s slept with everyone that she comes near. She’s like the girl in high school with big tits who is called a **** just because when you look at her all you think is S-E-X. Doesn’t make it so.Angelina is passionate and expressive, but she does not sleep around and has never cheated on her partners or slept with a married man. These are tabloid fabrications because she has such a sexy body and face and voice and she says and does outrageous things, it’s easy to believe anything of her. But don’t be so easily fooled — she is no more a **** than JA is an innocent. By the way, you don’t win THREE Golden Globes and an Oscar, stealing a movie from the critically acclaimed lead actress, all before the age of 25, for just playing a part like yourself. Take a reality check. You just want to attack her because she’s everything you are scared of — sexy, strong, independent, and unapologetic for it.

Who cars if Jennifer Aniston doesn’t want to have a child? # 212 | Patty——————————Brad did. So ****** what? # 212 | Patty————————if your idol didn’t give a **** she wouldn’t have run the biggest pity party in historyANISTON IS A LIAR and 100% full of ****!

Jolie fans are idiots who fall for her media manipulation of being a sweet humanitarian and devoted "wife"/mother. According to GALLOP POLL 3 WEEKS AGO, you are the minority you losers:_____________"Among the three celebrities involved in what the media has dubbed the "Brangelina" spectacle, Aniston is viewed most positively by the public. Fifty-nine percent of Americans say they have a favorable opinion of Aniston, once Pitt’s wife, while 12% have an unfavorable opinion and 30% have no opinion. Americans view Pitt (42% favorable, 35% unfavorable) and Jolie (43% favorable, 28% unfavorable) more negatively, but both actors still have a net favorable rating."

Jolie's Fans Sick @ 06/05/2006 at 6:44 pm

WOW. Jolie’s fans are ******* amoral psychos. Jennifer has done nothing wrong except live her life. To hope and try to make her latest movie (which was funny and great btw) fail is soooooooo pathetic and sad. She wasn’t the one getting knocked up by a married man or lying to the public to cover her ass. I understand why some people dislike Jolie because her actions have been questionable but Jennifer is just a normal girl living her life who hasn’t hurt ANYONE. soooo sad that you actually are sitting in front of your computers trying to take away her success this weekend. PATHETIC actually

Come on, it is obvious that VV has taken a back seat to boost JA. More pics of her by far, more atta girls for sales, when VV was in it just as much as she was. There first week opening really didn’t even pay the cost of the movie. Cheering for 38 mil vs. the other summer openings in the first week is nothing. And it was 3rd in the " romantic comedy" not just "comedy" catagory. One of her other movies made what 32 mil the first week and stalled there. Time will tell. VV is clearly the person most went to see, he really does need to have a change of pace as his movies are like repeats in the sarcasm catagory and I like him, actually have nothing against JA really. As long as people are still trying to protect her and taking a back seat so she can feel better I still call it a pity party.On their personal life? Hey if they are happy that is great.

bamz fans r asses @ 06/08/2006 at 5:19 pm

********

Where are all this Jen’s fans? "Team Aniston" "team Joly". You people are just so stupid. It is like bipolar disease. Already in December JA was at the top of the world. That was sooo stupid. And I don’t believe she is that big **** either, now. Brangelina isn’t perfect either. Angelina does have something that makes her not trustful whatever she is doing. I simply don’t trust her. But I have much respect for her passion able natural love with Brad.As for friends Aniston wasn’t good actress in “Friends” either. She was “natural”. It was just her natural “pal” attitude and support from other people (and Brad) that helped her.
