Sony Animation’s 'Spider-Man' reboot swung into Australian cinemas last weekend but trailed Universal/Illumination’s 'The Grinch' which ruled again in its third frame.
Following middling reviews, Universal’s 'Mortal Engines', produced and co-written by Peter Jackson, couldn't match 'The Grinch', 'Bohemian Rhapsody' or 'Creed II' at the Aussie box office last weekend.
MGM/Warner Bros’ 'Creed' sequel and Universal/Illumination’s 'The Grinch' didn’t pack the punch of their stellar US debuts in Australian cinemas last weekend - but the former opened far better than the original and the latter is positioned to trade strongly as school holidays approach.
