The Dressmaker has taken $13,772,495 and is still piling in $1.24m/week, although that will slip quickly now. It lost 37 screens to 308 for last weekend, and is making $4043/screen, which keeps it in the prime time game for exhibitors. It will surely pip The Water Diviner which made $15.9m, and is ahead of The Intern, which had twice the time at eight weeks to make its $9.276m.
