After announcing Kitty Green's 'The Royal Hotel' as its opener last month, Adelaide Film Festival will close out with another South Australian feature, Scott Hicks's documentary 'My Name’s Ben Folds – I Play Piano'.
Despite never playing on more than 14 screens around the country on any given weekend, music documentary Mutiny in Heaven: The Birthday Party has grossed $155,203 in four weeks - a solid result given the scale of the release, and one that puts Label Distribution into the black.
Once upon a time, last weekend would have seen the launch of 'Dune: Part Two'. Instead, it proved to be the slowest yet for Australian cinemas in 2023.
'Five Nights at Freddy's' easily boasts the best opening for a horror film this year, having generated $6.2 million last weekend.
'The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' may not have opened at the heights seen for the rest of the franchise, but it still gave exhibitors a needed boost last weekend.
