    Total box office 24.9m (+9.8%). Minions +50%, Elvis -14%, TGM +8%, JWD -6%, Lightyear +17%, EEAAO +1%. So while not everything managed an increase, all these movies managed some inexplicably outstanding holds. I guess the combination of the teacher strike on Thursday (in NSW), the start of school holidays and the appalling weather had a sizeable effect. JWD also gained a bit on DS2, 3m vs 1.6m fourth weekends.

    Did everything increase this weekend?! This would put Elvis at ~16.6m in AUD which would mean it was flat

    Ireland is included in the IK box office and Canada with domestic. I assume for convenience sake Scotland will remain part of the UK for box office purposes. If it gets independence.

    It's one of the top tier weekends, big with the YA adaptations.

    The first Minions movie opened to 5.84m, so this is a reasonably good start The Great Gatsby opened to 6.78m back in 2013, so again a pretty decent comparable opening. Higher ticket prices notwithstanding.

    Top Gun down 23%

    Very cheeky to add $176 to TGM's estimate to eke out the win lol.

    Now up to 8th place with 58.8m, pushing Titanic to tenth. Titanic's 24 and a bit year run in the top ten will end either with Thor or (more likely) Avatar later this year.

    Disney has, whether deliberately or just straight up incompetence totally fucked their theatrical releases in Australia. Here's the animated tally since the pandemic began: Trolls 2 9.4m The Croods 2 21.6m Raya and the Last Dragon 10.2m Peter Rabbit 2 22m Tom and Jerry 10.8m Spirit 2 5.9m Space Jam 2 13m Boss Baby 2 4.1m Encanto 6.5m Clifford 5.7m Sonic 2 22.5m The Bad Guys 15.8m There's clearly a market for animated movies in theatres if they're given a chance. Most of these movies had very good late legs, Trolls 2 in particular was still making money in theatres even after it had been released on home video. In my opinion Disney has probably left a good 30m+ on the table by not releasing the critically acclaimed Soul, Luca and Turning Red theatrically. Maybe it's been worth it for D+ subs. Lightyear has opened to 2.1m USD here, around 3m AUD, so there's a good chance it makes it to 15m at least. We'll see how Minions does, but I daresay 20m+ is possible.

    That or making it look like hand drawn animation. That's why I say it *might* have been fun if they did it that way. It's quite possible they actually did try it out and decided it was as you say too much in the uncanny valley for the audience to buy.

    It's getting worse in hindsight for me tbh. Definitely lower tier Pixar. I think its worst sin might be something most people probably won't care about, but it's meant to the movie from 1995 that Andy watched, and yet it doesn't feel like a movie from 1995 at all. In terms of the jokes and certain story elements. A fun conceit might have been if it was animated in the style of films from the 90s with the associated limitations.

    Another outstanding performer has been Everything Everywhere All at Once, still in the top ten in its ninth weekend with 162k, down 25%. It's at approx at 5.2m and on its way to a 10x multi.
  14. lab276
    Pretty great OW for Jurassic World too, third biggest this year and nearly 2m better than the second one. The market is pretty top heave atm though, quite a chasm from TGM at 8.9m in second to Doctor Strange at 500k in third.
  15. lab276
    Top Gun Maverick is both clearly propaganda and also just fucking awesome.
  16. lab276
    36.64m after two weeks for TGM, just 100k shy of Doctor Strange. It becomes the top movie of the year overtaking Batman on Friday or Saturday.
  17. lab276
    Barely dropped at all! Less than 6% drop! Batman and Doctor Strange second weekends were 7.2m and 7.3m respectively.
  18. lab276
    Noice. Might end up being the top film of calendar year 2022.
  19. lab276
    Any word on how the special effects look? Worth the thirteen year wait?
  20. lab276
    It's also just nostalgia for when things were better, although unlike how some people are nostalgic for the 80s or the 50s or whatever, it literally *was* better in the 2000s and 2010s.

    One thing I will say about the Australian box office that might make it more interesting than DOM is the almost total lack of sources and whatever sources we do have, it's all very fragmented and all over the place. Imagine if domestically, you only had the top ten weekend and weekly box office, and that's it, no estimates, no dailies, no preview numbers, just the weekend top ten on Monday. Or Tuesday if Monday happens to be a public holiday lol. And if it wasn't for a German box office website, there was no archive of it either http://www.insidekino.de/BO/AUS2022.htm

    Not just yet. For me losing the old BOM was a much bigger hit than the pandemic, although that shock made the pandemic less of a shock I guess. The Australian box office is still for me fairly enjoyable to follow, and I still go to the cinema very often. It's honestly a fairly expensive habit to have these days, but it's worth it because I don't know for how much longer we'll even have cinemas, so I have to enjoy it as much as I can.

    School holiday weekdays strike back!
  24. lab276
    Reasonable opening for FB3, but a near 70% drop for Morbius 😬
  25. lab276
    Not too bad then all things considered.
