Toy Story 3 has passed $30m at the box office in just its third weekend
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has posted the biggest box office opening day in history after grossing more than $7m
The Dressmaker advanced to $15.2 million at Australian cinemas last weekend, propelling the total earnings of Australian films and feature documentaries released this year, plus holdovers, past $84 million.
The fifth and final instalment in the 'Indiana Jones' franchise reached no. 1 at the box office last weekend, albeit not at the heights exhibitors were hoping for.
Disney/Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3' scored the best opening for the franchise and the second highest opening of the year so far behind 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie'.
Paul Rudd's turn as the miniscule hero of the latest Marvel adventure saw Ant-Man dominate Australian cinemas last weekend.
The box office had a much-needed refresh last weekend by way of Julia Roberts and George Clooney rom-com 'Ticket to Paradise' and 'DC League of Super-Pets', and to a lesser extent, 'Moonage Daydream' and 'Bodies Bodies Bodies'.
It's every exhibitor's worst nightmare: Four mainstream films open on the same weekend, three are instant flops and the other is just OK.
