Because reporting of Australian BO is horrible.

Those holds are ridiculous.

[Robertron]

Just look at the Top 20, film by film - incredible releases at the moment!

[DeeCee]

Although -29% for Movie 43 is embarrassing.

i think this is the key reason why such low drops.... most of the films in the top 20 are......

Yeh I think the only thing we can really put this down to is the quality of the films out.And on a semi-side note - I think we're finally starting to get the 'Oscar effect' on films that the DOM market has always had, and post Awards should confirm this.

Thankfully I don't live in Melbourne - I hate the heat !

And it starts again today! Another few days over 30, with some thunderstorms today and tomorrow.Preview screenings for BC were actually surprisingly busy, can it make $2m?

[Robertron]

I really have no idea what to expect for it, but with basically no real competition I think we can expect another weekend of great holds across the board.

Nothing about AUS in the Intl report..Guess we'll just have to wait until this afternoon or RTH!

[Robertron]

Beautiful Creatures came in at No. 1 with 1.15m, SH with 1.11 and SLP in 3rd with 1.05m - I now know why we weren't mentioned in the report. BORING!So there was $100k between 1st and 3rd this weekend, and $700k separating 1st and 10th.For reference, there was $1.6m separating 1st and 10th last weekend.

Wow. Look at that jump for Argo! 255%!!Hopefully cinemas will expand it a bit and it'll make a bit more (cross $12.5m hopefully)
