• Overall the Box Office was up 9% making a total of $13.35 million

The Australian Box Office has had another strong week, following on from the always-important Easter weekend. Overall the Box Office was up 9% making a total of $13.35 million.

The top two spots are still being held by Godzilla Vs. Kong and Peter Rabbit 2, both now in their third week of release.

The top five films for this week are the same as last week, with Nobody, Tom and Jerry, and The Courier all entering over the Easter weekend. Tom and Jerry and Nobody have switched places this week, with Tom and Jerry moving up and taking the third spot.

#1 Godzilla Vs. Kong $3.4 million

The monster flick continues to prove that after a hard year, Australians are all too happy to switch off their brains and watch a nuclear-powered dinosaur fight a giant ape for an hour and 53 mins. This week Godzilla Vs. Kong averaged $6,868 on 495 screens, which was down 28% but still enough to keep it in the top spot.

#2 Peter Rabbit 2 $3.33 million

Closing in on Godzilla Vs. Kong is the sequel movie starring James Corden. Peter Rabbit 2 came in second by only a whisker, averaging $6,720 across 496 screens.

#3 Tom and Jerry $1.93 million

Moving up a place this week is the latest imagining of Tom and Jerry. The pair have been chasing each other since the 1940s, but people are clearly still showing up to watch their antics. This week the film averaged $5,489 across 352 screens.

#4 Nobody $1.02 million

From the wholesome fun of Tom and Jerry, to the perhaps less wholesome fun of the John-Wick-esque Nobody, the gun-filled thriller came in fourth this week. Nobody averaged $3,505 across 292 screens.

#5 The Courier $809,003

Rounding out the top five this week is The Courier, the historical drama set at the peak of the cold war and starring Benedict Cumberbatch. It averaged $2,644 across 306 screens.
