As exhibitors and distributors gather on the Gold Coast for the annual Australian International Movie Convention, the results are in from the weekend trade with Clayface opening on top with a respectable $5.5k screen average on wide release, tapping into today’s love of horror perhaps. Meanwhile, audiences ignored Taika Waititi’s latest, Klara and the Sun, but came out in good numbers for Laika’s Wildwood and Amazon/MGM’s Ali G: Who Iz I? on limited sessions from Friday. And congrats to The Odyssey, which just crossed $70m in Australia.
