Ticket sales at Australian cinemas plunged to a new low last weekend as coronavirus-wary audiences ignored almost all the new releases.
The top 20 titles generated a mere $6.79 million, 25 per cent down on the previous frame, which had been the worst weekend of the year, according to Numero.
This morning exhibitors and distributors were struggling to recall the last time the weekend grosses fell to such a nadir.
Typifying the market’s malaise, only Sony Pictures’ Bloodshot and Universal’s The Invisible Man in week three cracked $1 million.
In the Us, where some cinemas have closed, the estimated weekend take of $US55.3 million was the lowest since 1998.
The government’s ban on gatherings of more than 500 people has not impacted cinemas, at least for now.
Hoyts Cinemas CEO Damian Keogh tells If: “We have no immediate plans to close cinemas but will be guided by government policy.

‘Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.’
As a spin-off, Universal’s Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw was never destined to roar out of the starting blocks with the same velocity as the previous editions of the franchise.
But the opening weekend for the action thriller starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham in Australia over-indexed the Us bow and the worldwide tally was a none-too-shabby $179 million.
The top 20 titles generated $17.4 million, a slight 7 per cent dip on the previous weekend, according to Numero. Palace’s French psychological drama/thriller Who You Think I Am proved to be effective counter-programming for non-rev-heads, while Sony’s Chinese firefighting movie The Bravest fared Ok on limited screens.
Rialto’s indie Us drama The Public and Madman Entertainment’s romantic drama Ophelia directed by Aussie Claire McCarthy struggled in line with their Us results.
Directed by David Leitch, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw clocked up $7.2 million,...
