Australian full box office to June 09
July 5th 2009 12:54
Australian films released in the first six months of 2009, their budgets and their takings at the box office thus far. Those in block are currently playing in cinemas now. Note that these are box office takings in Australia alone. With the limited overseas releases, it is often rare to see an Australian film recoup its budget. In a recent article in Australian Movie Mag FILMINK, Bruce Beresford discussed his 1979 classic whose budget was a mere AU$650,000 still took almost twenty years to make a profit. Is it any wonder that the industry continues to struggle with the lack of support from the locals!
Soon to be released CEDAR BOYS is definitely worth a trip to the movies as is the recently released BASTARDY and SAMSON AND DELILAH.
