The Dry has slipped to number three in the weekend returns list, down 27% to $463k. losing 27 screens to 306. At $18.83m, it will still take six weeks or so to make $20m, which seems less likely even though exhibitors are being kind.
Penguin Bloom is at number five, with $293k and a total of $6.82m. High Ground is at number eight with $169k and $2.52m altogether. Long Story Short took $75k, for a total of $694k.
Firestarter – The Story of Bangarra in week two made $24k off 85 screens, to add up to $140k. We had hoped for better but it could have a long run.
Blasting into the top slot is a core Madman offer, Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yalba – The Movie: Mugen Train. 201 screens, $1.86m.
The Little Things and Boss Level crept in too.
The manga film is Japanese, is at the top of the Korean charts and is on US$7.74m in four weeks.
