zValentine's Day movie got the top spotThe film stars everyone who is anyone, from Julia Roberts to Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift and Jamie Foxx, to name just a few. It’s directed by Garry Marshall, who also came out with the smashing hits “Pretty Woman” and “Runaway Bride,” both starring Roberts as well (and Richard Gere), and aims to show how different people react to Valentine’s Day.

Early this weekend, estimates were saying the film would probably go beyond the $50 million threshold at the box office – and that it did. “The star-laden Valentine’s Day has topped the US box office, as the film cashed in on the romantic holiday. Starring Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, Anne Hathaway and Jamie Foxx, among many others, the movie took $52.4m (£33.4m) in its opening three days.

Reports were saying that Julia Roberts got $3 million for a 6-minute part, which amounted to an extended cameo. This also meant the star got about $500,000 a minute, or $8,333 per second or a minimum of $11,952 for each word she uttered in front of the camera. Not too shabby for 3 days of work, which is how much time she spent on the set of “Valentine’s Day,” but overall a wise investment on the part of New Line Cinema.
