Top End Wedding still doing okay quietly munching in the audience grass. But it is not an obvious show pony.

Top End Wedding dropped a moderate 22% in its second week at $3008 on average off its 260 screens. It should cross $3m tonight. As we said last week, this will be a long, patient trundle. 

Avengers Endgame is now at $74,362,888 in three weeks, currently at $7898/screen. But it has also lost 60%, and is now on 686 screens, down from 1040. This was obviously the expected strategy since it was howling with success and no-one would voluntarily boot it out unless they could cram more peeps into a smaller room.
