Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is impossible to dislodge from its top slot in our domestic market. Over the last three weekends it rose from $548,000 to $1.44 million as Sydney cinemas opened, then dropped to $1.15 million as that pent up demand disappeared, and then rose again to $1.62 million as the Victorians raced back into their picture palaces.
Last week the second slot was held by Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel with $821,000; this week Halloween Kills, the latest episode in that scares franchise, opened with $1.40 million. We are now back to wide releases of around 380 screens for the top four films, though the push has not helped The Last Duel.
