Australian Box Office Report: Disney are still ruling the jungle but for how long?

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 Boss and The Huntsman Winter’s War have fallen a bit, as well as The Fan – which is completely off the charts – but Eye in the Sky still stays strong making up #10.

As I mentioned last week, Jeff Nichols’ new film Midnight Special and the Australian film Pawno came out last week, but unfortunately haven’t made it into the charts, I’m rooting for you guys.
