Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may have returned home with more losses this weekend, but Jennifer Aniston was a big winner.
For the third time in a row, the Friends star found herself in a familiar position. Although it is technically an ensemble piece, He’s Just Not That Into You became the 39-year-old’s latest chart topper. (The Break-Up and Marley & Me also debuted at #1.) The adaptation’s $28 million gross helped push another romantic comedy offering, New in Town, completely out of the Top Ten. (The Renee Zellweger film had only been there for one week.)

Two of the other entries this week coincidentally had one thing in common: Dakota Fanning. The 14-year-old currently stars in both Coraline and Push - films at opposite ends of the spectrum. Coraline, the stop-motion animation feature from Henry Selick, pulled in $16.8 million and one of the best per screen averages from the past three days. Meanwhile, Push, a Heroes-esque sci-fi thriller, earned $10.1 million and a 6th place finish.
