Story follows a man held captive in a motel room for 20 years who has several days to figure out who kidnapped him and why.

"Oldboy" will now open wide against Disney's "Frozen," which caters to a much younger audience, as well as Fox Searchlight's "Black Nativity" and Open Road's "Homefront." Limited releases on Nov. 27 include Relativity's "Out of the Furnace" and a pair of dramas from the Weinstein Co. — "Grace of Monaco" starring Nicole Kidman as Grace Kelly and "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom," starring Idris Elba as Nelson Mandela.
