Australia may have been included in the top box office earners for movies which opened and still showing this month but many of Nicole Kidman’s critics consider this a judgment on Kidman’s ability to carry a movie. Australia ranked number five during the first week of December with $14.815 million receipts which was several millions less than top 4 films Quantum of Solace with $19.5 million receipts. However, the receipts for Australia went down by 53% for this week with earnings of only $7 million.
Critics are saying that the film is even not getting a good response from Australia, the country where its stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman and even the director Baz Luhrmann came from. Luhrmann earlier said they made the movie not for anything else but for sheer creativity. Other critics contend that Australia is gourmet food compared to the other movies like Quantum of Solace which are considered fastfood so the box office returns are pretty understandable.
If you haven’t seen the movie yet then go watch it so you too can add your two-cents worth as to why the movie is a good watch despite the plummeting box office receipts. For one, Luhrmann’s movies are always a pleasure to watch if only for their artistic splendor. The performance of Brandon Walters as Nullah is also one reason why you should watch the movie. And if you are a Hugh Jackman fan, then you would regret not being able to see the world’s sexiest man flexing his thespian skills. Australia has proven that Jackman is not only sexy but he can act as well.
