Thought the box office matchup to watch this holiday season was between Will Smith and Jim Carrey? Psh! Try again, friends. As proven by Sunday's box office numbers, Seven Pounds and Yes Man, respectively,  were DOA — and while I have no proof, I can assure you that's exactly what we here at PopDarts predicted, thank you. 

But who needs proof, anyway? Especially when we're about to bear witness to the type of marquee box office collision that 1) proves God reads Us magazine, and 2) could ultimately result in a significant (and much needed) reallocation of journalistic goodwill to America's Best Friend. Yes, my dearies, tomorrow marks the day that Jennifer Aniston goes toe-to-toe at your local AMC with ex-husband — and fertility demigod — Brad Pit.

Though their two films have been tracking pretty evenly for the past two weeks, Marley and Me appears to be surging late, which could mean bad news for The Curious Case of What's-his-Name when box office tallies are released Friday morning. (Note: Reviews, however, are tipping decidedly in Pitt's favor.)

But who do you think will win the truly epic battle over the hearts and minds of female moviegoers this holiday weekend? Does it even matter? (i.e. for the career of either actor; not in, like, life or something. God!)

Personally, I'll be rooting for the underdog, if ya feel me. 

XO,
