In a remarkable result, four Australian films - 'The Dry', 'Penguin Bloom', 'High Ground' and 'Occupation: Rainfall' - took home almost 50 per cent of the national box office last weekend.
Marvel blockbuster 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' delivered exhibitors a box office boost last weekend, with its opening weekend the most successful in the 'Ant-Man' franchise so far.
Australia's love affair with the Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell rom-com 'Anyone But You' continues, with the film topping the box office once again over the long weekend, easily beating out 'Wonka' and Bollywood action thriller 'Fighter'.
Sydney-set rom-com 'Anyone But You' reigned at the box office last weekend, just knocking out 'Wonka' and 'Mean Girls'.
'Avatar: The Way of Water' has proved the bumper summer hit exhibitors hoped it would be. Some four weekends in, the James Cameron sequel - with a cume of $66.7 million - is already the the sixth highest grossing film to ever be released in Australia.
A re-release of the highest grossing film of all time coupled with a super weekend for 'DC League of Super-Pets' has led to another strong week-on-week increase at the Australian box office.

Jason Statham shark thriller 'Meg 2: The Trench' may have opened significantly below the 2018 original in North America, but here in Australia, receipts were almost on par. That said, the sequel was no match at all for the continued phenomenon that is 'Barbenheimer'.
