It's a big ol' round of musical chairs this fall movie season. It began, technically, months ago, when J.J. Abrams decided to move Star Trek out of the Christmas slot to May 2009. That was followed a couple of weeks ago by the biggest news: Harry Potter vacating the week before Thanksgiving and moving to the middle of July.
That move left an opening for an opportunistic Twilight on November 21st, and 007 took advantage of Potter's absence as well, moving from November 7th to November 14th, which was the same weekend Baz Luhrmann's ambitious Australia was hitting theaters. Until now.
Fox has announced it will move Australia back 12 days, pushing the epic to the day before Thanksgiving (November 26th). Fox domestic distribution president Bruce Snyder said that "recent shifts in the release dates of other pictures created an opportunity for us." More to the point, it created an opportunity away from Quantum of Solace.
