Watch Lion in North America. It has now taken US$36.4m ​which is about US$6m in the last week. In week 13, it went up from 1337 cinemas to 1542. Averages are modest at US$2647/location but it is still trundling along. That is $47.42m in AU$. 

The international figure is now US$23.7m, including US$8m from the UK in exactly a month. Adding up to AU$30.9m. And those figures are likely to be behind.
