I just noticed Melbourne IMAX is closing for refurbishment.

The next generation of IMAX movie experience…

From 27th January to 11th March 2015, IMAX Melbourne Museum will be closed for stage two of a three stage multi-million dollar investment project that furthers our commitment to providing Melbourne with an unrivalled premium cinema experience.

Sydney and Melbourne keep playing the "who's bigger?" game. Literally comparing each other inch by inch.

But I kinda feel sorry for Melbs. Poor bitches still have "World's Biggest Screen" floatin around in their lobby.

*insert naww honey and sarcastic shoulder rubbing to make them feel better.

[CrimsonAzure]

Interesting. Is that Big Hero Six that good?

[Ball Lightning]

Pretty good start for Paper Planes! Should end up around $5m all up, which is good for an Australian film.

 

Still 10 films over $1m! That is the equivalent of 10 films in America hitting $10m in a weekend

[DeeCee]

Event/GU gave Paper Planes a good push with special tickets and a good number of screens.

Damn, I thought it would be below 80m. Worst box office since 1997.

[Ball Lightning]

This year I think will rebound.. We're already off to a pretty fantastic start!

[Robertron]

I know we always say "this is the year that the industry has been waiting for", and something always fucks it up.

I genuinely think that this is the year. We have sequels to MONSTROUS films - Avengers, Star Wars, Hunger Games - as well as huge sequels that are practically guaranteed to make money.

[Robertron]

Going to see American Sniper at the Drive-In tonight. I have this feeling it's going to play very well over the weekend.

[Robertron]

American Sniper did great in Previews here. 247k on 20 screens.

Wide release today :D

[Ball Lightning]

Not looking too amazing for American Sniper on opening night at my work. Hard to say with such a small sample though.
