With the school holidays winding down this weekend, it seems audiences were more of the MA15+ variety, as The Girl On The Train took top spot with $4 million earned this weekend.  Changing the setting from England to upstate New York, the film’s screen average was among the top 10 so far this year, the best result since Suicide…

Seems schoolkids – as well as parents and guardians – are really into the weird and wonderful, with Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children topping the box office at $4 million this week.  It beat out The Secret Life of Pets , which took an impressive $3.3 million in its foutta week of release after being at number 1 last week, following…

After falling into 2nd place on the box office ladder, The Secret Life of Pets is back on top again, making $3.41 million this week.  It also earned the the weekend’s best screen average with $6,987 from its 489 screens, and, with school holidays now upon this, this film should continue to perform well. Bridget Jones’s Baby, earning $2.81 million this…

In its first full week of release, Bridget Jones’s Baby has nabbed top spot, claiming $3.68 million at the box office.  Only just beating the film at no. 2, the Renee Zellweger flick has also reportedly yielded the lowest screen average (that is, the average amount earned across the number of screens/venues a movie is shown) for a new release at the top…

For the second week in a row, The Secret Life of Pets, voiced by Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet and Kevin Hart, has taken the top spot at the box ladder, bringing in $4.80 million this week.  With a total box office earnings of $7.38 million since its premiere, it’s the best fortnight result since the first two weekends of Suicide Squad.  ….

Looks like Suicide Squad has finally been knocked off its number one perch by Bad Moms, after dominating the box office across the first three weeks of its release. Having coasted at number two for a fortnight, Moms did an impressive $1.99 million this week to move into the top spot, possibly due to the weekend being the third…

So if you’re over superhero films, Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Jared Leto, you will not be happy to hear that Suicide Squad remains top of the Box Office ladder this week, its third week in no. 1 since its premiere week. The DC Comics’ supervillains remain in top spot with AU$3.18 million made this week, followed by Bad Moms, having…

Mixed reviews and Jared Leto critiques be gone, because Suicide Squad remains firmly in first place on the Australian Box Office report.  Whilst it didn’t do as well in its second week against its unbelievable performance in its opening week (where it earned AU $13,904,557), its takings of AU$5.9 million mean that it’s stronger than Jason Bourne’s second week on…

OK, as we’ve already reported on Suicide Squad breaking opening day box office records, it should be no surprise that it sits at the top of the leaderboard on the Australian Box Office , knocking rogue former CIA agent Jason Bourne off the number one spot after just one week. Suicide Squad made a massive AU $13,904,557 since its release last…

The USA is well into their summer, so blockbuster after blockbuster have been trotted out, both here and internationally, while Australian audiences delight in getting great content as we freeze our butts off. Matt Damon‘s new action-venture, Jason Bourne, has just made it through its first weekend in Australia and it’s already done well over the previous week’s newest release, Star Trek Beyond (making…

The all-female reboot of Ghostbusters spent one week at the top, with Star Trek: Beyond taking the throne this week. Beyond had the lowest opening of the trilogy domestically, but that didn’t stop it from taking its place on top. The third film in the rebooted series earned AU$4 million dollars in its opening weekend…

Well, the people have spoken. The all female Ghostbusters reboot managed to weather all its bad press and come out on top. The film opened with US$46 million in the states and hit top spot in Australia, earning AU$4.7 million. Not a bad start at all and our own review certainly paints it in a…

Despite The Legend of Tarzan barrelling into cinemas with a tonne of marketing, Finding Dory still managed to come out on top in this weeks box office figures. Dory racked up another AU$5 million but the real story is that in the U.S, it became the highest grossing domestic release of 2016, currently sitting on…

Finding Dory just keeps swimming. Excuse me and my ridiculous cliche but the sequel to 2003’s animated smash is still making big money, earning AU$5.5 million over the last week. Pixar’s maritime flick has surpassed Finding Nemo’s domestic figure of US$339 million, currently sitting on a cool US$389 million. Time is the only obstacle keeping…

Hello Folks, Again we have some newbies taking charge! The illusionists are back in Now You See Me 2, which brought in $2,869 million and earned this week’s #1 spot. Jodie Foster’s thriller Money Monster is a close second, pushing Alice further down the rabbit hole at #3. Other titles in the ladder sit tight but we’ve lost Bad Neighbours 2, Florence…

Hello folks, Some new movers and shakers at large! Forget X-Men: Apocalypse and get around Alice. The Alice I speak of is Mia Wasikowska who plays her in Alice Through the Looking Glass, this weeks #1 pushing X-Men: Apocalypse to the #2 spot. The dollars aren’t massive, nor have the reviews been rewarding but it’s…

Hi Folks, We see a few changes this week with regards to #1. X-Men: Apocalypse sits at the top spot with $6.4 million – a pretty good turnout but not the same figures as Captain America: Civil War or even Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice on their openings. In second place we have The Angry Birds Movie, the comedy-adventure based on the video game. The…

Filmmaker Gareth Edwards (Monsters) has dropped out of directing the sequel to Godzilla 2014. Edwards who directed the first reboot was meant to return to Godzilla after completing his work on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which is in post- production. As to why, it remains unclear. Although reports say deadlines could have impinged the project….

Hi Folks, First off the cusp it’s good to see Marvel’s Cap still strong in first place. It’s a great film and stands convincing at $3,8 million. Can it hold on to the top spot? Let’s see. We also have a new #2! The Angry Birds Movie has knocked Bad Neighbours to 3rd place. The other contender to…

The featurette explores the real story behind the movie which is released in Australian cinemas on 9th June. In the video, the real family who sought help from paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine…

Hi Folks, After seeing Captain American: Civil War last week, I too, am on a team Cap bandwagon. If you haven’t, It’s an all-round pleasure. Lets get to it. Cap and co. are still on top, but in their second week has seen them drop a little. However, they still stand strong at $6 million (slightly better than Batman’s…

Another sequel we’re actually okay about – Space Jam is returning! Justin Lin (Fast and the Furious 6, Star Trek Beyond) is co-writing with Andrew Dodge (Bad Words) and Alfredo Botello (Hollywood Adventures, Crickets) to bring some ’90s hoops back. Replacing Michael Jordon is the Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James, who recently made an appearance in Amy Schumer’s…

Hello folks, We have some new friends that have entered and knocked off Disney’s top position, The Jungle Book now at #2. Make way for, Marvel’s Captain America: Cilvil War – and, I reckon, for awhile. Stat-wise, it did a remarkable $13 Million and about $8 thousand more than Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Let it also be known there…

Hi Folks, Hope you all had a good long weekend. The stats are in. There’s no change to the number #1 as far as film is concerned, just a slight decrease the takings for The Jungle Book. However we do have a new number #2 – and that’s newcomer, Eddie the Eagle which racked up $2.6 million. The…

Hello Folks, We have a new #1. Outscoring The Huntsman Winter’s War in first place is The Jungle Book. Hitting the $290 million mark  around the globe, critics are responding very well to the film. Stellar casting and visually impressive landscapes have put Disney on top again. As for Melissa McCarthy’s The Boss, well, that came in at second place with a…

Hello folks. Well, we did it. If you we’re on my team and rooting for a new box office contender, you’ve got one in the sequel to Snow White and The Huntsman. Although it’s not breaking any big records, The Huntsman Winter’s War overtook both Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to take the top spot….

Hello fellow cinephiles. Look, I didn’t quite get the margins right with Labyrinth Of Lies or Sherpa  as contenders for the number one spot, but boy did Zootopia pick up its game – shifting My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 to third spot. There haven’t been many other changes we know about, so expect some downsizing. The major one is from Batman v Superman:…

If you haven’t heard, we have a new film that’s doing extremely well at the box office and smashing records left, right and center. That’s none other than, Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice.  Even though the reviews have had a mixed reception that hasn’t stopped a  plethora of people and popcorn from sitting in on DC’s…
