Jingle Jungle

A sack full of fresh flicks will greet holiday movie-goers tomorrow:





Starting things off when it opened on yesterday--it's Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel (reviews) While 2 award season contenders that were released in a limited fashion finally go wide...George Clooney's career is on a roll with Up in the Air (reviews); The musical Nine (reviews) goes big screen; Robert Downey Jr. is famed London slueth Shelock Holmes (reviews)-'Sherlock Holmes Would Tear Tony Stark Up,' Says Downey Jr.; Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin discover It's Complicated (reviews); Heath Ledger's last film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (reviews) begins its run quietly--Depp 'honored' to fill in Ledger's shoes‎....

There are no wide releases opening on New Year's Day...Therefore it's any one's game including James Cameron's Avatar-which had a $27 million‎ dollar opening day but then got socked by Mother Nature and a big snowstorm on Saturday December 19th...Things pick back up at the box ofice on January 8th...
