This is truly a dead week at the box office, and we are lucky there are no new Australian releases to go down in a heap.

Walt Disney’s Jungle Cruise opened this week, not even on a huge number of screens. 243 suburban locations gets you $1.57 million in a weekend. That is the only film to clear a million.

Space Jam: A New Legacy is at number two with $880,000 which is a rise of 11%, to take the third week total to $10.8 million.
