Following on from the Federal Government's ban of all "non-essential" gatherings of more than 100 people, and out of concern for patrons and staff amid the coronavirus pandemic, Palace Cinemas has decided to close all sites indefinitely from tomorrow.
Ticket sales at Australian cinemas plunged to a new low last weekend as coronavirus-wary audiences ignored almost all the new releases.
Due to open in Australia on March 19, Will Gluck's 'Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway' has been moved to September - the second major release to be postponed after the James Bond adventure 'No Time to Die'.
It’s an all too familiar story: Australian films open in a handful of cinemas with minimal marketing and publicity and audiences don’t go because they don’t know where or when these films are playing.
Leigh Whannell’s Sydney-shot 'The Invisible Man' easily won the box office derby in Australia last weekend, matching its top-ranked US debut.
Justin Kurzel's 'True History of the Kelly Gang' launched in the UK last Friday, drawing mostly enthusiastic reviews but lukewarm interest from moviegoers.
Leigh Whannell has two reasons to celebrate today: 'The Invisible Man' is the No. 1 title in the US, Australia and several other markets - and the Aussie writer-director has signed a two year, first-look deal with Blumhouse Productions.
Given that they appeal to very different audiences, the first-day ticket sales for The Invisible Man and Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears in Australia yesterday were very healthy.
