Deadpool is still on top though it is running out of steam after four weeks, dropping by 42% and down to 402 screens. It has made $37.3m in Australia and is STILL on $6290/screen. 

At number two, amazingly, is a film about a smelly, squalid old lady who projectile shits on the pavement. The Lady in the Van has done $2.21m in two weeks for Sony, is on 266 screens at an average of $7800. Maggie Smith probably helps.
