Baumer. Have you been to TIFF screenings? I'm assuming it's not easy to get tickets.

So, general consensus. The Cold Light of Day should never have seen the cold light of day.

Looks like Thursday only. Article was posted on the 7th. Probably around $2m for the weekend.

I doubt it. I had no idea he was in it before I saw it. It took me out of the film a bit when he appeared and I haven't even seen Kenny.

Less then $1m. Splashdown is a real business and Kenny was financed by it's owner.http://www.splashdown.com.au/

It made $7,647,447 at the Aussie box office in 2006.

RthDid the snowboarding movie "The Art of Flight" get a cinema release in Australia?Also, Bourne's good legs is clearly due to the Kenny effect.

Anger Management is on 8:30 Tuesday nights in double episode blocks on Channel 9. That's the same network that continues to show Two and a Half Men in Australia. It was also heavily promoted during Channel 9's olympic coverage. This is the ratings so far from the 5 mainland capitals-Tuesday August 14Episode 1: 1,112,000Episode 2: 1,106,000Tuesday August 21Episode 3: 693,000Episode 4: 593,000Tuesday August 28Episode 5: 610,000Episode 6: 571,000Tuesday September 4Episode 7: 586,000 (single episode)It will get bumped to a later time slot in a week or two.

OK. The Aussie dollar has been hovering around 1:1 with the US dollar for around 2 years now after a big plunge with the initial onset of the GFC in 2008. Box office conversions to USD look much better at the moment. In November 2008 to February 2009 AUD2,962,596 would only have converted to about USD1.9m.

He's comparing the two markets relative to the x10 rule. The AUD3m opening here is roughly equivalent to an opening of around USD30m in the domestic market. Although it's better just comparing the final total gross as we have a 4 day weekend and the domestic weekend is 3 days.In other news. Event/GU is selling 5 movie vouchers for $47.50.http://www.experienc...ource=hpskin_b5

I'm in the this is what the first one should have been camp. I didn't follow the production of the first one very carefully so I felt a bit cheated when I finally saw it. It was great seeing everyone get some kick ass scenes and all the corny one-liners. The badder they were the funnier it got.

$3m opening weekend in Australia. #1

TELLURIDE, Colo. -- The Sapphires received a 10-minute standing ovation when it screened as a world premiere at Cannes back in May, and in its native country of Australia, it has just become the highest-grossing Australian film of the year. But, still, some questioned if the movie, a musical dramedy about an Aboriginal singing group that toured Vietnam in the late 1960s, could also play well stateside. Any doubts about its crossover appeal were put firmly to rest last night and again this afternoon when the film was screened at the Telluride Film Festival, where it was greeted with similarly rapturous applause. It appears quite clear to this awards observer that The Weinstein Co., which acquired the film shortly before Cannes, has another big hit and awards contender on its hands.O'Dowd couldn't be more endearing as the goofball manager, and the four singers -- Gail (Deborah Mailman), Julie (Jessica Mauboy), Kay (Shari Sebbens) and Cynthia (Miranda Tapsell) -- have beautiful voices and are more than capable actresses, as well. With great production values (including convincing war scenes), a true and tearjerking story, and music that keeps audiences tapping their toes from beginning to end, this film proves to be everything that 2006's Dreamgirls tried to be, and more.In a perfect world, the Academy would embrace the film and O'Dowd's performance (which could probably qualify in the best supporting actor race). It's likelier, though, that it will show up at the Golden Globe Awards, at which musicals and comedies are separated from dramas and given their own categories.http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/race/telluride-2012-sapphires-dreamgirls-golden-globes-367357

September 25. Although it's already out here. Weird.

Actually, no. Comic book movies have traditionally underperformed in Australia. The Avengers and Nolan's Batman being the exception.

Rth,When is Red Dawn getting released in Australia?

That online CIA remote viewing course I took must have really worked.

Welcome back. We might get some Thursday numbers for Australia from Rth tomorrow.

He has one of the best lines in the TV series. "If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater."

Opened today in Australia. I wonder if Algren is sitting at a computer somewhere tracking every single cent this makes 24/7.

She might have an ongoing role in the 2nd season of Person of Interest. We could have a Nolan vs Whedon showdown for her services.

I wonder which Whedon regulars we might see in this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joss_Whedon#Frequent_castingHas it been properly confirmed that this will link with the movies or is everything speculation at the moment?

Flicking through the channels and "Blink" is on. Has to be one of the best episodes of any TV show ever. A simply brilliant self contained episode.“Your life could depend on this. Don’t blink. Don’t even blink. Blink and you’re dead. They are fast. Faster than you can believe. Don’t turn your back, don’t look away, and don’t blink! Good luck.”Carey Mulligan is the main star of the episode.

Revolution starts September 19 on Fox8 here so I won't have to watch it by other means.
