If you release a film in Australia on 510 screens and the picture gets $13,255/screen, you are entitled to think you have a hit on your hand. That film is Bohemian Rhapsody which also made $70m in the US off a budget of $72m. 

A Star is Born is still standing proud in its third week, having now taken almost $20m and still on nearly $10,000/screen. It did $6m in its first weekend.
