It’s been a quiet start for the year for Australian films at the national box office, particularly compared to last year when Peter Rabbit and Sweet Country were drawing crowds.
The 18 Australian films and feature docs released in cinemas since the start of the year, plus holdovers, have racked up a modest $14.3 million.
Wayne Blair’s 'Top End Wedding' has edged past Shawn Seet’s 'Storm Boy' to rank as the highest grossing Australian film this year.
The Australian films and feature documentaries released in cinemas this year including holdovers collectively have grossed $39.7 million.
Legendary Indigenous actor David Dalaithngu, known for his roles in 'Walkabout', 'Storm Boy', and 'Ten Canoes', has died aged 68.
