Box Office Report: 30 November – 3 December, 2023

Well, that was a quick reign for Napoleon, with the Hunger Games prequel jumping back to the top spot in Week 3 of release. Props to Warner Bros for backing Bottoms, an original story with nary a name cast, made by an exciting new female voice, but the box office says otherwise. Same goes for Uproar, a beautifully made crowdpleaser from the other side of the ditch, which struggled despite its success on home turf. But the big story for the third week in a row is the staying power of promising young woman Emerald Fennell's Saltburn, which continues to increase its box office haul every respective weekend.

Box Office Report: 16 – 19 November 2023

Despite the online doomsayers, Hunger Games prequel, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes opened strongly, which will unfortunately mean more prequels. Apart from that, the surprisingly wide release of Saltburn saw some sites doing boffo business, whilst too many were DOA - should be interesting to see the screen spread for that one in Week 2. Speaking of DOA, it doesn't look like Thanksgiving means much to Australian audiences, understandably.
