In a quiet weekend at the Australian box office, Joker tops an identical top five to last week with the only difference being that each film made less revenue than the week before which contributed to the 23% dip from last weekend’s revenue after making $10.60m.
However, the largest average per screen was outside of the top five with the Indian Tamil-language sports action film Bigil which was written and directed by Atlee making $13,085 per screen. While Gemini Man has continued its slide down the charts making $250,588 in its third week bringing its Australian total to $2.84m.
