Auds get a second look at 'Rouge'
Fox to re-release pic on Nov. 21 in four cities
Pic's theatrical re-release comes at a time when studios are ramping up campaigns for the awards season and will not affect its home-vid release on Dec. 18.
"The film's success has transcended box-office numbers," said Fox's domestic distribution prexy Bruce Snyder. "People seem to still be clamoring for it in ways that none of us at Fox could have predicted."
The post-modern musical, which stars Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, bowed last May and has grossed $56.7 million domestically. "Rouge" has also performed solidly overseas, earning $64.7 million while enjoying No. 1 openings in France and the U.K.
"Moulin Rouge" recently garnered several honors from the Hollywood Film Festival including picture and actor and actress awards for McGregor and Kidman.
