Australian cinema made a welcome return to box office top three on the weekend as Madman's Fremantle-shot 'How To Please a Woman' came in behind Marvel juggernaut 'Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness' and 'Downton Abbey: A New Era'.
There was more dominance from 'Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness' at the box office on the weekend, as British dramas 'Downton Abbey: A New Era' and 'Operation Mincemeat' rounded out the top three.
In a sign of the times for independent distributors, Transmission Films expects to release approximately nine films in cinemas this year, down from 13 in 2019.
'Lion' and 'Mary Magdalene' director Garth Davis and See-Saw Films have launched a production co-venture with Samantha Lang as head of development.
'Operation Mincemeat', a stranger than fiction true story set during World War 2 starring Colin Firth, has been sold to almost every major territory apart from the US at the Cannes Film Market.
