Satellite Boy hangs on quietly, Gatsby pushes slowly ahead, while The Heat justifies its $US43m budget pretty well.
Satellite Boy has not been justifying the dedication required to make it, or its charm, but is fighting back. In week five, it went from 9 to 12 screens and returns went up by 17%. It has now made $242,706, and is on $962/screen.
As producer David Jowsey pointed out on the phone, Hopscotch presented a very professional and tightly argued business case for a ten screen opening, with limited spend on prints and advertising.
