October 24: Angelina, Jennifer, And Zac In A No-Holds-Barred Cage Match To The Death!
Well, not really, but close. On October 24th, the planets and stars all converge and will orchestrate the simultaneous release of three movies. First, the Angelina/Jennifer battle:
Jolie's drama Changeling and Aniston's romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You are both scheduled to be released October 24, Usmagazine.com has confirmed. (Changeling will be out in limited release before going wide October 31.)Jolie — who earns $12-15 million a movie — is already generating Oscar buzz for her role a mother whose son is kidnapped ("her performance hits home," a Variety critic wrote).
Meanwhile, Aniston — who rakes in an estimated $8 million a movie — plays Ben Affleck's love interest in the adaptation of the best-selling relationship book.
And then we'll let Zac Efron into the ring, because his movie High School Musical 3: Senior Year will be released on the same day. I know, I know...cover your ears now!
So who will come out on top? Angelina does appeal to certain people, but she's much less successful branching out from her bad girl or vixen roles, while it seems more people relate to Jennifer as the girl-next-door. However, I think Zac might just be the sleeper here, because you can never underestimate the spending power of a tweenage girl, ten of her bff's, and their daddies credit cards.
Me? I won't be watching any of those movies. I'm a movie exec's worst nightmare...none of them appeal to me. :)
