Independent cinema operators are cautiously optimistic about the road ahead as they push forward with their SCREEN Fund applications.
WB's 'Godzilla vs. Kong' has posted the highest opening weekend of any film post-COVID, in a hopeful sign that audiences are ready to come back to cinemas for blockbusters.
As predicted, Roadshow's 'The Dry' has crossed the $20 million mark, making it the 14th highest grossing Australian film of all time.
Crime thriller 'The Little Things' is the first new release in weeks to succeed in knocking Robert Connolly's 'The Dry' from the no. 1 position at the box office.
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.

Roadshow's 'The Dry' has now rung up almost $10 million in three weeks, proving strong word-of-mouth.
