Four Christmases, Australia and Transporter 3


It's late weekend, but before we get the official Box Office numbers, these are the films that were released on November 26th to the big screen.

With the widest release this weekend, and the future #1 movie is the Vince Vaughn/Reese Witherspoon romantic holiday flick Four Christmases. Great film which was called "one of the most joyless Christmas movies ever" by the Hollywood Reporter. It's been estimated that this movie could surpass the 40 million dollar mark over the long weekend. Not bad at all.

Also out right now is Australia, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. The film takes place in Northern Australia in 1939, Lady Sarah Ashley, an English aristocrat, inherits a cattle station southwest of Darwin, owned by her late husband. When Australian cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn stock-man, the Drover (Hugh Jackman) to drive the cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier.

Finally, the action-packed film Transporter 3 hits the big screen opening to many mixed reviews.

Not a bad weekend for movies. Later on, the official box office numbers for these releases!
