Jolie and Aniston Head-to-Head at the Box Office

Now that Angelina Jolie has finished up buying baby bedding, she’s ready to take on arch rival (to some) Jennifer Aniston in the Battle of the Box Office.

Jolie stars in “Changling”, a movie that is already putting her on the short list for an Oscar nod.

Set in the 1920s and ’30s, “Changeling” is based on the true story of a single mom in a nightmare battle with corrupt Los Angeles police trying to cover their mistakes in the investigation surrounding her missing 9-year-old son.

Aniston stars in the romantic comedy “He’s Just Not That Into You”.

The commercial prospects for “He’s Just Not That Into You” are bolstered by an all-star cast including Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansson, Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Connelly. Directed by Ken Kwapis (“The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”), the movie focuses on the mixed signals men and women send in relationships.

Just what the world needs- another romance comedy.

The battle of the dollars at the box office is expected to be won hands down by Aniston because her movie comes out nationwide Oct. 24, while “Changling” is only a limited release until Oct. 31. Which will be the better movie? Well, for me I’m only a fan of the old “mixed signal” romance comedys when they air once a week for half an hour. How many different times can the same tale be told? But if it’s not an excellent storyline you’re after, go for it. I’ll be waiting for both to come out on DVD.
