what a wildly epic movie. I LOVED IT

 

one criticism though: too long. several scenes looked like the movie was about to end...only to pick up again :S

I'm so much looking forward to see it! I have very high expectations about it too! I love Nicole Kidman, and when the title of a movie is "Australia", it must be good. I'm not sure when it is going to be on theaters, but I'll go see it when it is out.

nicole is GREAT. to be honest the botox is lookin bad...and in this film her face looks kinda warped..did the botox do that? o_o however as the movie progresses she magically turns back into her beautiful self

 

her performance was excellent though

the little boy who played nulla was amazing too

Uhhh Ohhh BIG FLOP at the US Box Office

 

Australia flops at US box office

The flick is the most expensive Australian movie ever.

The Baz Luhrmann movie Australia made a paltry $3.4 million on its Thursday opening in the US.

 

The much-hyped Baz Luhrmann movie Australia has flopped at the US box office on its opening day, according to reports.

 

Figures quoted from US entertainment newspaper Variety in the Herald Sun newspaper said the movie made a paltry $3.4 million on its Thursday opening in the key market.

 

That worked out at a per screen average of $1,318, compared to the $35,055 per screen earned by teen movie and box office leader, Twilight.

 

Talkshow queen Oprah Winfrey has promoted the movie on her show.

 

Thanksgiving weekend is a traditionally tough weekend in the US, and Australia is also competing with the Reese Witherspoon comedy Four Christmases (renamed Four Holidays in Australia) and Transporter 3.

 

Australia is the most expensive movie ever made in this country, with a price tag of $197 million.

 

On its opening day in Australia on Wednesday, it made the respectable figure of $1.3 million.

 

The new James Bond flick, Quantum of Solace, made $2 million on its opening day the week before.

 

The epic romance Australia stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman and is set in the Northern Territory in the 1930's.
