My Name is Gulpilil walked straight into the Victorian lockdown last week which would have dented its initial results at the local box office. It opened on 45 screens around the country and took $45,000 over the weekend, which is better than Indigenous doco Firestarter – The Story of Bangarra, which opened in February 2021. Including previews, Gulpilil has now made $85,000.
Our fingers are crossed that the figure could climb once the Southerners are released once more from durance vile.
