I’m going to sound like a broken record, but it’s almost impossible to have stronger ticket sales when the minimal theatres who screened The Rover slated it at sessions which made it almost impossible for people who had rigid 9 to 5 work hours to actually get to a screening, but according to IF.com:
“While the local B.O. results should not be seen as the sole yardstick of any film’s global performance, the industry would have expected stronger ticket sales for David Michôd’s The Rover and last week’s opener, Zak Hilditch’s These Final Hours, while Rhys Graham’s Galore also underperformed.”
Here’s the scorecard for Australian Films to date in 2014.
