Baz Luhrmann took care of business, with EPiC opening strongly on ‘home’ turf (aided no doubt by pricey screenings at IMAX), outpacing the US result even (well, comparably, when estimates are usually around 10% for our territory vs. US). In other news, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie delivered a very impressive screen average on very limited release (and sessions), whilst closer to home, Jimpa stumbled after such a massive tour, PR and marketing campaign. Someone must have known something when the film was re-edited after its Sundance premiere last year; not that it really helped, right?!
