For the second weekend in a row, Jennifer Aniston can celebrate in Margaritaville if she so chooses. The box office has been loving Jen like a fat kid loves cake, awarding her the top spot once again this weekend. Now, I’ve been hearing some mixed reviews of “Marley And Me” and quite frankly, I’d rather spend my $20 on the DVD release or a ticket/popcorn/diet coke and large bag of sour gummy worms for a different flick. But, that’s just me.

Just for S and G’s, do you think “Team Aniston” has been dishing out some extra dolla dolla bills to watch this movie a second time in the theater? Or did that semi-naked magazine cover really benefit Jen? Things that definitely make you go hmmmm…

The Top 10 movies for the weekend and their grosses are listed below, courtesy of Media By Numbers.

1. “Marley & Me,” $24.1 million.

2. “Bedtime Stories,” $20.3 million.

3. “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” $18.4 million.
