  1. It just works for 2011 and now as nothing much has changed with regards to the exchange rate for the last few months. The Aussie dollar has been hovering just above parity. In 2008 I think the Aussie dollar was a lot lower.
  2. Just a note on comparing the USA/Canada to Australia.In 2011 films screened in Australia earned AUD1.09Billion which is roughly USD1.1Billion. Which is about USD47 per person spent at the movies.In 2011 films screened in the USA/Canada earned USD10.2Billion. Which is about USD29 per person spent at the movies.Now dividing 10.2B by 1.1B gives us 9.2. So if the Domestic:Australia ratio is bigger then 9 the movie performed better in the domestic market then it did in Australia. If the ratio is smaller then 9 the movie performed better in Australia.
  3. Just checked At The Movies. They both basically hated the movie. http://www.abc.net.a...xt/s3442322.htm DAVID: So it’s a really horrible story but they’ve had to make a film that will appeal and will be censored, classified, for young people and I think that’s a compromise they’ve never managed to come up with. The queasy-cam is deeply annoying, but worse is the lack of suspense or involvement. One mystery: there's a credit for Snake Wrangler at the end, but I didn't see any snakes. Where were the snakes?

  5. That's awesome. I forget what the usual multiplyer is in Australia. Some strange films to compare it to.
  6. I expect around $9-11m for the 4 day. We shall see.
  7. I remember a Canadian show called Danger Bay. It starred Donnelly Rhodes(Doc Cottle in BSG)
  8. I've fallen about 3 episodes behind now. This season just hasn't grabbed my attention like the first.
  9. I haven't read the books and wasn't even aware Woody Harrelson and Lenny Kravitz were in the movie.I have to say this is quiet a good movie. It builds nicely at the start and then really picks up the pace once the games begin. All the main actors give good performances although the Capital City characters are a bit over the top sometimes and their fashion sense is an aquired taste.
  10. At An 8:50 session that looks like being about half full.
  11. $3,092,526 in Australia which is about 3.25million US dollars.
  12. 9:15, Thursday night at Melbourne IMAX. Only about 1 third full. The movie was good but the audience size was not a good sign.
  13. Go Fox. My Super Fund owns News Corp so I wouldn't mind and Avatar every 2 years.
  14. Yes. Funny thing is that the 3-eyed crow is accurate to the books(Bran's dreams).
  15. I went with iTunes. I'll be watching Winter is Coming for the first time in few hours.
  16. Revenge continues to be huge in Australia. It's easily the highest rating scripted show on Australian TV. Episode 1-2,067,000 #1 for the weekEpisode 2-1,800,000 #2 for the weekEpisode 3-1,799,000 #2 for the weekEpisode 4-1,960,000 #1 for the week
  17. Bye bye Terra Novahttp://www.deadline.com/2012/03/fox-cancels-drama-terra-nova-series-being-shopped-to-other-networks/Unless another network picks it up.
  18. Thanks. I'm trying to decide between spending about AUD49 for the Blu ray and about AUD32 for the HD iTunes version(however, that's only 720p). I was just concerned I might not get the full gruesome death of somebody in the iTunes version. I've read the book but haven't watched the series yet.
  19. Does anyone know for certain whether Game of Thrones from iTunes will be exactly the same as the Blu Ray?
  20. I was living in Sydney but I've been down in the Gong for about 12 months. I sometimes go to the movies in Sydney because the cinemas down here are mostly crap.
  21. Yes. It's called FX but it's not exactly the same as the FX in the US. Looks like it will have some FX shows, some AMC shows plus shows from other channels. Breaking Bad for example is currently on our version of Showtime. We only really have 2 payTV providers in Australia. Foxtel via cable in the capital cities and Austar via satelite in regional areas. It's actually soon to be 1 as they are in the process of merging. PayTV penetration in Australia is only about 34%.
