New Line Cinema's 'Mortal Kombat', inspired by the blockbuster video game franchise, was shot in Adelaide and directed Simon McQuoid. Producers include James Wan, Todd Garner, McQuoid and E. Bennett Walsh.
After making her Hollywood debut in James Wan’s 'The Conjuring 2' Lauren Esposito will play one of five teenagers who encounter an ancient relic in Australian fantasy/adventure 'The Five: Earth'.
A new wave of Australian directors are carving out careers in the US, including Richard Gray, Peter Cornwell, James Wan and Leigh Whannell
'Annabelle: Creation', the latest chapter in Warner Bros' successful horror franchise 'The Conjuring', opened on top of both the Australian and US box office last weekend.
'M3GAN' and 'Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre' each enjoyed healthy debuts over the weekend, though 'Avatar: The Way of Water' remains far and away the main attraction at the box office.
For the first time in quite a while, last weekend saw major new releases enter the Australian theatrical market, in the form of Ridley Scott's 'The Last Duel' and Aussie James Wan's horror 'Malignant'.
