With the strange appearance of a public holiday spreading around Australia on either Friday or Monday, the box office takings were probably boosted a bit this weekend.

Majestic as ever, Mountain has made  $1.735m in two weeks on 29 screens, now at $2648/screen. This may be perihelion for the film but it has probably grown faster than any other Australian documentary.
