Pandemic? What pandemic? If moviegoers were afraid of the Omicron variant or rising case numbers, you wouldn't know it from the opening weekend result for 'Spider-Man: No Way Home'.
The theatrical debut of Disney's 'Black Widow' smashed pandemic-era records in the US, but in Australia, where Sydney remains in lockdown, the film couldn't surpass the opening weekends of recent titles 'F9' or 'Godzilla vs. Kong'.
Japan’s highest grossing feature film of all time, 'Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train', is also proving a hit with Australian audiences.
