    It's possibly it'll be released on 25th (I remember a couple of big films over the last few years getting Christmas Day releases *), but you won't see it til the 26th.

    * December 25 (Christmas Day) 2008 Releases:

    Bedtime Stories
    The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
    Marley & Me
    The Spirit
    Valkyrie

    Those films listed as Christmas releases for 2008 above are the American release dates- e.g. Benjamin Button wasn't released here til February.

    Films generally get Stephens' Day releases here, Sherlock Holmes being an example this year.
