Twentieth Century Fox's Jennifer Aniston - Owen Wilson starrer 'Marley and Me' led the crowded pack of Christmas Day openers, grossing an estimated $14.8 million to become the best opening ever for December 25, Hollywood's Variety reported. Paramount's 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' -starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett - also overperformed, grossing an estimated $11.8 million to score the second best Christmas Day opener of all time. Directed by David Fincher, 'Button' has already picked up a number of key award nominations. 'Marley' and 'Button' did 40 per cent to 50 per cent more business than box office insiders expected. Disney family title 'Bedtime Stories' - starring Adam Sandler - grossed roughly $10.5 million to place No 3 for the day. Tom Cruise starrer 'Valkyrie' from United Artists/MGM, also found more holiday cheer that forecasted. The Nazi thriller, directed by Bryan Singer, came in at No 4 on its debut, grossing an estimated $8.5 million. The only title underperforming among the five Christmas Day openers was Lionsgate's 'The Spirit', from Frank Miller.
