Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson proved to be a winning combination in Aussie director Patrick Hughes’ action-adventure-comedy 'The Hitman’s Bodyguard' in Australian cinemas last weekend in yet another grim frame for exhibitors.
Variety critic Guy Lodge damned 'American Made' with faint praise, likening the "sweat-slicked, exhausting but glibly entertaining" CIA adventure starring Tom Cruise as the kind of film he could have made at almost any time in the last 30 years.
The US horror film starring Australians Miranda Otto and Anthony LaPaglia, 'Annabelle: Creation', has held the top spot at the local box office for the second consecutive week.
