The film follows an all-star ensemble cast by intertwining story lines of a diverse group of Los Angelenos as they navigate their way through romance and heartbreak over the course of one Valentine's Day. If you think this is one of those cheesy romantic flicks, think again! This movie is actually a pretty realistic version of what people go through on such a romantic holiday.
Also, being released today is Matt Damon's Invictus. Directed by Clint Eastwood, the film tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa’s rugby team, Francois Pienaar, to help unite their country.

The first set of numbers that came in stated that the movie had only made $73 million from Friday to Sunday, but it was re-calculated this morning. Avatar beat out the previous December sinner, I Am Legend, which made $77.2 in its opening weekend.
Fox insiders think the numbers could have been even bigger on Friday and Saturday if it weren’t for the huge blizzard that kept most of the East Coast indoors. But overseas, the film made $159.2 million, making it the best global debut ever for a non-sequel and the sixth best international bow ever.
