The Invention of Lying [INVLY], Whip It [WHIPT] and Zombieland [ZMBLN] are all comedies hoping to grab the biggest piece of the box office against the Toy Story & Toy Story 2 3D double-feature [TOY3D], which also opens wide that weekend.
The Fantastic Mr. Fox [MRFOX] will now begin with a platform release on Nov 13, before expanding wide on Nov 25, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
