Christmases Chokes Australia at Box Office

Comedy tops box office, curbing Twilight sensation

Share

(Newser) Four Christmases iced the competition over the long Thanksgiving weekend and raked in $46.7 million, Variety reports. Box office numbers stayed strong overall—up 2% to 3% over last year's holiday—as Twilight ($39.5 million), Bolt ($36 million), and Quantum of Solace ($28.1 million) filled out the top four. Highly-anticipated Australia banked $20 million and came in a disappointing fifth.

I don't trust Nicole Kidman in movies anymore, if I see one of her movies, it's only on DVD so I can eject it if it's stupid. Reply
