Rob Connolly’s Paper Planes will be released in the US and UK by two of the largest mini-majors.
Robert Connolly's family film Paper Planes continues to delight Australian audiences, taking in a further $1,675,914 over 298 screens at the box office over the weekend.

Rob Connolly's Paper Planes has soared to the top of the Australian box office and has been the #1 film for the past three days (Monday-Wednesday).
