It had to happen: Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston will finally get to duke it out.

At the box office.

Both actresses have big movies opening on Oct. 24: Angelina's "Changeling" and Jennifer's "He's Just Not That Into You."

But "Into You" also stars other appealing actors such as Scarlett Johansson, Ginnifer Goodwin, Drew Barrymore, her boyfriend Justin Long, Jennifer Connelly and Ben Affleck. Aniston plays Affleck's love interest in the adaptation of the bestselling relationship book that's also become part of the modern cultural vernacular. Click here to see the trailer on the author's website.

Director Clint Eastwood's period mystery, "Changeling," also stars John Malkovich and Amy Ryan, and already created Oscar buzz for Jolie at the Cannes Film Festival.

My bet? Jennifer will win the box-office battle and Angelina may end up with a little gold Oscar statue.

And the other thing to consider is that movie opening dates often change. Plus "Changeling" is not opening wide until Oct 31.

What do you think? Which movie - and actress - would you rather see and why?

Changeling sounds infinitely more interesting, but I think your predictions are pretty likely.


There is really no comparison. Jolie is a major film star and is never "uninteresting". Aniston is a good sit-com actress who makes forgettable romantic comedies. Apples, oranges.


Ridiculous comparison, Changeling will open as a limited release - how can you even compare these two films?


High School Musical by Disney will win the weekend....HJNTIY is an ensemble-to call it a Jen movie is silly!!!But HJNTIY is the one I'd go see-it has a great cast!!!


Silly question. I'll see BOTH.


It may not be cool to say, but Aniston is the better actress. Jolie has made a career of her body, image, orphan collecting, high-profile husband stealing, and squinting pout. To quote PE: "don't believe the hype."


I'll have to wait to see both movies before I can make an objective comparison.


I can't stand erther one of them, so who cares wich one wines..!!!!

I sure don't.


Would rather see Jennifer Aniston. Jolie is so predictable and boring in her desire to be "different". Also, you can see that she is acting - she is not very good. Aniston is the better actor.


It's like pizza and filet mignon...more people will see Aniston (pizza), but the filet (Angelina) will be far more satisfying.
