A very quiet week in cinemas with Australian content! I’m curious if it is Spiderman and the Odyssey (each over 300 screens), but Toy Story 5 still has nearly 250 in week 8 Holy Days, Moana, Minions & Monsters and Super Troopers 3 all have between 215 and 250 each. So it doesn’t really leave a lot of space for anything else.

Till I see you at the cinema next,
