They are high. However, prices are just as high in parts of Europe. One cause is higher wages in Australia. The Federal minimum wage in the US is USD7.25 per hour. The minimum wage in Australia is AUD15.96 per hour which currently converts to USD16.29 per hour.

Basically we all earn more.. But everything is more expensive And estimates for takens finish? I'm going with $21m.

[Heretic]

Prices aren't even that high in America compared to other countries.In the UK, I pay the equivalent of $11.5 for a standard 2D movie, and that's student price. Adults pay $15.5. Absolutely ridiculous.For IMAX 3D, adults pay $22.

Wow, just wow. Where do you get that from? Doesn't matter if you want to keep it a secret, but could you be a little more accurate with the figures? and are they in USD or A$?Thanks Rth.

You should. lolThanks so much. I really appreciate this.This information should be available to all, though, really. Shame the Australian media/government/whoever don't publish it online.So do you have figures for all movies in all markets, or is Australia your speciality?

I can really only see Lawless doing well, and probably something around $2m-$3 for it, with everything else under $1m or just scraping over.Taken 2 with around $3.5-$4 potentially?

Slightly different note at this stage interesting battle next year mid Apr- mid Aug 24 major titles opening 19 week period including 3 major animated on the same day, several things going to have to give bigtime.

[Ball Lightning]

Its going to be a crazy busy winter here. From the end of april onwards is one awesome blockbuster after another.. Which means its going to be a killing field..

[The Toymaker]

How far does your data go back for Australia, Rth? Do you have any weekend figures for Assassins, Judge Dredd and Rocky V?

Despicable Me 2, Monster's University and The Croods?

[RthDeadWov]

Despicable Me 2, Monsters Uni & Epic

[Ball Lightning]

The Croods is coming in April with only Jack the Giant whatevers as competition. Should do very nicely!DM2 vs Monsters Uni is going to have to change, you can't have the 2 biggest kids animation come out on the same day (though I guess its for the holidays). Epic will be lost between those.

You would think so, but Cars2 and KFP2 were released on the same day last year.

Or is it coming out more August time?From May 16th onwards is going to be crazy!And so Ironman 3 is coming out on tuesday/anzac day! Does that mean its all going to be tuesday prices? I believe we have tuesday prices even if its a holiday from memory..
