Let us all gives thanks to Her Majesty for bestowing this holiday Monday upon us for the celebration of her birthday. Plus, it's the official start to the ski season.

Thank god for the long weekend. Much needed.

We may have been behind on the cheap 3D movies on tuesday, but we've had this for awhile at least (and TA was 2 weeks again).

It's not her birthday. :lol:It's the diamond Jubilee to mark the 60th anniversary of her reign.

Monday June 11 is the Queen's Birthday public holiday in most of Australia.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen's_Official_Birthday#AustraliaIt is also the start of the ski season in Australia although that started a week earlier this year.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hswgiCTXnyI&feature=player_embedded

It's an Annual Holiday known as the Queens Birthday Long Weekend, even though we all know it's not actually her birthday

This is interesting, the number one movies of each week from 1991-1995:http://www.moviemarshal.com.au/ausno1s2.htmlI wish we had full weekend charts that went that far.

It's time to update this....

HP8 vs TA

1: 18.4m/25.5m vs 13m/19m

2: 8m/38.7m vs 8.2m/31.1m

3: 3.8m/44.5m vs 5.2m/39.0m

4:2.3m/47.8m vs 3.5m/43.9m

5:1.3m/49.7m vs 2.3m/47.0m

6:757k/50.8m vs 1.8m/49.3m

7:445k/51.5m

8:279k/51.9m

9:176k/52.1m

10:92k/52.4m

FINAL: vs 49.3m

Ok given Weekend 7 is a national holiday and a long weekend expect another strong hold this weekend.

then we also have holidays starting around the country in earnest through weekends 8,9,10 and 11 meaning some further holds during this time unless it's ripped out of theatres. And given how well it continues to perform, I just don't see that happening as yet. It's still doing a very reasonable 4.5k average - 3rd best Wide film in the top 20 and 5th overall (Warren has done his yearly onslaught with a 72k average - though i must say this isn't one of his strongest showings)

Potential holds:

7:1.4m/1.7m/51.3m

8:850k/52.6m

9:650k/53.6m (holidays start)

10:600k/54.6m

11:420k/55.2m

12:300k/55.6m

13:200k/55.9m

14:100k/56.0m

15:75k/56.1m

Final ~ 56.3m

It's close but i think that The Avengers will just fall short of titanic's total.

MIB Showdown

1* vs 2 vs 3

1:6.2m/6.6m vs 5.4m/6.4m vs 5.0m/5.0m

2:3.7m/11.8m vs 2.9m/11.9m vs 3.6m/10.0m

3:2.1m/15.4m vs 1.6m/14.7m

4:1.9m/18.1m vs 711k/15.8m

5:1.0m/20.9m vs 516k/16.5m

TOTAL:22.8m vs 17.6m vs 10.0m

The MIB1 figures are estimated based upon tickets sold (only data i have right now).

Look for another strong hold this weekend coming though it's battling prometheus for the $ this weekend (as will the avengers), it should be able to do well given the weather too, (it's perfect movie going weather). projections for MIB3

4:2.7m/3.1m/14.3m (Queens Birthday)

5:1.4m/16.8m

6:950k/18.2m(holidays start)

7:750k/19.6m

8:600k/20.8m

9:280k/21.4m

10:180k/21.7m

TOTAL (projection) = 22.2m

This could end up given or take 2m from this mark but that's my projection after the weekend gone....

[DeeCee]

Warren Millers just not the same anymore since he's no longer involved.

And as someone has said before, yet another Superhero film underperforms in Australia

Its just weird seeing "$56m" and "underperforms" - but its true, I guess.

[Robertron]

Oh I see

Stupid? Yes.But hey, noone complains because, who doesnt love a long weekend!?

I don't think it's stupid.

How so?!Have a birthday long weekend for someone when its not even their birthday? Where is the sense in that?!

Well if it changed with every different monarch there'd be no consistency.

[Robertron]

Well if it changed with every different monarch there'd be no consistency.

Lets say she kicked the bucket this year - its not going to hurt to change the holiday that has stood for 60 years - most laws change more often than that.
