A re-release of the highest grossing film of all time coupled with a super weekend for 'DC League of Super-Pets' has led to another strong week-on-week increase at the Australian box office.
The Australian box office bowed to the King on the weekend as 'Elvis' debuted at number one ahead of fellow new entry, 'Minions: The Rise of Gru'.
Fox's 'Logan', directed by James Mangold ('The Wolverine'), pulled in $7.8 million over its first weekend from 414 screens – a whopping screen average of $18,966.
Tom Cruise proved himself as big a box office draw as any comic book creation on the weekend, with 'Top Gun: Maverick' starting its engine at $13.8 million.
'Top Gun: Maverick' held on to that loving feeling at the box office for a second weekend, taking in another $13 million.
Dutch violinist André Rieu very nearly took centre stage on another slow weekend for the Australian box office, with the screening of his 2022 Maastricht Concert falling just short of overtaking 'Bullet Train' to claim the number one position.
Marvel has again weaved its magic at the box office, with 'Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness' collecting $14.5 million from its opening weekend, passing Matt Reeves' 'The Batman' to claim the second-highest result of the pandemic era behind Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Older audiences made their presence felt at the box office last weekend, with the newest instalment of historical drama 'Downton Abbey' debuting at number one ahead of 'The Lost City' and 'Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore'.
