According to Numero, to date, at a total of $71.4 million (excluding holdovers), Australian films have contributed 16 per cent of the national 2021 box office.
We're not even halfway through the year, but 2021 is shaping up to be a record-breaker for Australian films at the box office.
With no new major releases, last weekend saw the lowest box office tally of the year so far.
Warner Bros.' 'Those Who Wish Me Dead' was declared DOA as it opened in the US over the weekend, but Australian audiences took to the neo-Western, with the film topping the box office.
Seems audiences are still hopping to it: Australian-UK co-production 'Peter Rabbit 2' is now no. 1 at the box office, having knocked off 'Godzilla vs. Kong' as both titles enter their fourth week.
