by Andrew Gnerre | Published December 22, 2008

The showdown of the two $20 million men ended with Rubberface outearning the Fresh Prince by a little more than $2 million. Jim Carrey’s Yes Man, co-starring Zooey Deschanel and directed by Peyton Reed (Down with Love, The Break-Up), took in $18.2 million in its debut weekend, while Will Smith’s Seven Pounds, co-starring Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson and Barry Pepper, finished its first weekend with $16 million. Coming in third, with $10.5 million in its first weekend, was The Tale of Despereaux, featuring the voices talents of Matthew Broderick, Dustin Hoffman, Emma Watson, Tracey Ullman, William H. Macy and Oscar hopefuls Frank Langella and Richard Jenkins.

Last week’s box office victor, The Day the Earth Stood Still, fell from the sky to fourth place with $10.2 million for its second week and Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon’s Four Christmases reached the $100 million mark with its $7.75 million performance.

This holiday week will see one of the most crowded Christmas marquees in recent memory, with December 25 releases coming for Bedtime Stories (starring Adam Sandler and Courtney Cox), Valkyrie (directed by Bryan Singer and starring Tom Cruise, Kenneth Branagh and Bill Nighy), The Spirit (directed by Frank Miller and starring Samuel L. Jackson, Paz Vega and Scarlett Johansson), Marley & Me (starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton). So check back next and find out which movies benefitted from some Christmas magic and which ones got coal in next week’s Top of the Box Office report.

I’d like inform you that Scarlett Johansson (actress)actually is a clone from original person,who has nothing with acting career.Clone was created illegally using stolen biomaterial.Original Scarlett Galabekian last name is nice, CHRISTIAN young lady.I’ll tell more,those clones(it’s not only 1)made in GERMANY-world leader manufacturer of humans clones,it’s in Ludwigshafen am Rhein,Rhineland-Palatinate,Mr.Helmut Kohl home town.You can’t even imaging the scale of the cloning activity.But warning,H.Kohl staff strictly controlling their clones spreading around the world,they’re NAZI type disciplined and mind controlled,be careful get close with clones you will be controlled too.Original family didn’t authorize any activity with stolen biomaterials,no matter what form it was created in,it’s all need to be back to original family control in Cedars-Sinai MedicalCenter in LA.Controlling clones is US military operation.Original Scarlett never was engaged,by the way

Hopefully this will encourage Carrey to go back to his roots and keep making comedies, instead of those forays into other genres (23 anyone?).

Pandora Charms are probably the most common bracelets wore by Chinese women. Before China import silverwork or silver dollars from Mexico and Chile in Qing Dynasty, silver is a sort of valuable metal, the same as gold. The standing of silver rooted in our hearts.
