By their "very different but equally excellent" powers combined, 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer have given Australian cinemas their best weekend since the pandemic began - and for at least one exhibitor, its best weekend ever.
Robert McCall may have claimed his biggest scalp yet on the weekend, with 'The Equalizer 3' shooting past 'Barbie' to reach top spot at the Australian box office.
Majestic Cinemas, which operates nine sites across northern NSW and south-east Queensland, has entered voluntary administration, citing reduced box office, as well as rising costs and natural disasters, including floods and fires, in the region.
