Both Hugh and Nicole are expected to walk the red carpet tonight at the premiere of Australia in the City of Lights. The Baz Lurhmann-directed epic is in US theaters now. For more info, visit AustraliaTheMovie.com.

arlene - entre Hugh y Nicole no hay nada ni habrá.
Give the USA a chance to run up the box office figures! Friday’s take was twice that of Thursday’s. Word of mouth is good, news is spreading. I’ve seen it 3 times and there’s been cheers and applause for the film.
I actually may be in the minority on this blog but I liked the movie.. Hugh did a great job and Nic did her part pretty well.. I do think this movie has a shot for cinematography, music score, screenplay and costumes.. Hugh may even get in the best actors thing…
A film worth watching more than once, Australia seems destined for Oscar buzz
Australia” cost $130 million to produce, but the studio says its investment is $78 million after tax rebates offered by Oz, where the pic lensed.so the Real budget $78 million , ‘Australia’ is staying on track with what Fox has projected so 20m$ in 5 dayes is great.

Congratulations to everyone involved with “Australia”, especially to those who got nominated! May this be just the beginning of more recognition to come
they all look great
[iria ]explicame por que no puede a ver nada entre hugh y nicole
Movies like Australia, The Changeling, Nixon, Milk, ect. all do so-so at the box office because they don’t appeal to the youngsters and teens who typically go to movies. I somehow don’t think the studios expect them to be big money-makers. But it doesn’t mean they aren’t good, these movies likely do much better on the International circuit where, how does one say thi nice…ok there is no nice way… they often prefer more intelligent and thought-provoking movies. Case in point, Americans went in mega-numbers to see awful drivel like Four Christmas and made it #1 on the box office. Nuff said.

What a silly dialogue! There’s nothing between Nicole and Hugh simply because they are both married to OTHER people. Nicole seems fine with her husband. Hugh has been happily married to his wife Deborah Lee Furness for years, and is a devoted husband and father. They are NOT looking for romance elsewhere. Compreendes?
Arlene, there is a difference between reality and fiction. Wake up.
SHE IS MY LIFE
Couple perfect, true love!
AUSTRÁLIA IS WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVED this movie and the people around me at the theatre did too!! Everyone seemed really into the movie by all the “sounds effects” they were making when anything happened. I will go see this movie again. I can’t understand why people are so mean to Nicole. She is a classy lady. With that goofy Four Christmases being #1, well it definitely tells you the mentality of movie goers in this day and time and it is a real pity!! I’ve heard nothing but good comments from people around me that has seen it!! Those that refuse to see it are really missing out on a classic, IMO! Their loss!
my gosh the movie was incredibly powerful and beautiful!
i suggest to everyone to see it because it is the most impressive movie i’ve ever seen in my life!
i don’t understand why american people don’t go to see this movie…
they prefer 4 christmases, it’s incredible
I saw the movie! Its iS WONDERFUL!
Please go to see it.
I saw the movie. It was way too long, could have been edited to be shorter, would have been better, the dialogue was cheesy and the story predictable. Hugh was good, his chemistry was Nicole was nil and she seemed to be chanelling the same role as Far and Away and Cold Mountain, the little English lass out of her element, so predictable. Not worth seeing in theatre, but as a rental only.
Seems like the half-dozen people, the only ones who must have seen this movie (can’t be more as it did come in as number FIVE) are on JJ posting today! Likely it’s studio execs on here posting how good it is (it isn’t, save your money) so they can recoup the studio loss, they know it’s will be hard to climb from FIFTH (didn’t even make it to 3rd! gulp) place to #1. Ain’t gonna happen mates.
“Australia” is a wonderful movie. It’s a romance, comedy, adventure, drama, Western, and war movie, set in beautiful surroundings with a first-rate cast. It is very engrossing and moving, and the time flies by. You’re missing something if you don’t see it. I’m going back with the rest of the family to see it again.
The younger US audience is unsophisticated so I wouldn’t expect this movie to be a blockbuster in the US. I do expect it to do well internationally though. Younger people internationally are more sophisticated than we are.
Blame America, as usual. I guess you are saying other countries never go see mindless comedies? Let’s see, Burn After Reading, The Mummy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall all made it to #1 in Australia, I guess they have no attention span and no taste over there. Or how about the U.K? High School Musical 3 anyone, it made it to #1 over there, or how about Mama Mia? That’s some high class art right there. Or what about that important Adam Sandler movie You Don’t Mess With the Zohan that was #1 in Germany? Stop whining just because many people don’t think your favorite movie is the great important work of art that you think it is.
So what if people in America don’t want to watch Nicole Kidman’s wax face try to move for 3 hours in this Baz Luhrmann self-indulgence.

Why don’t you go live in one of those sophisticated countries if the Good Ol’ USA isn’t good enough for you. Good God, we are only talking about a make-believe movie here.
Americans are infinitely stupid and uneducated, ignorant, uncivilized, arrogant and ridiculous in their false sense of grandeur. They live in a third-rate nation which is responsible for the current recession - a country that doesn’t feed its own starving people, and execute its own citizens. These disgusting aliens LOVE garbage when it comes to film, and most other things, as well.
I take it as a HUGE compliment that people in the US don’t see this film! Good riddance.

Taco, you proved my argument!! This movie is routed in history. An important part of it is about the struggles endured by Australian Aborigines. Try opening up a history book every now and then. These blogs are fun and I enjoy them to, but there’s more to life. I love this country, but am concerned for its youth.
