BH60 crosses $2m line
Beneath Hill 60 has crossed the $2m line at the Australian box office, while new release Triangle earned $6,081 on its very limited four-screen release.
Beneath Hill 60 (Paramount/Transmission) earned less this weekend ($359,823, down from $870,819 – a 41.3 percent drop) but it was enough for it to climb three positions and reach the number five spot, behind Iron Man 2, Hot Tub Time Machine, Date Night and When in Rome.
Playing at 163 screens, the war film had a screen average of $2,208.
The new local entry, UK/Australia co-prod Triangle, had an average of $1,520. Icon released the film on four screens only. The thriller, starring Melissa George and Michael Dorman, was shot in Queensland on a $16m budget.
And on its second week, Andrew Lancaster’s Accidents Happen (Hopscotch) made $22,747 (14 screens, a 43 percent drop from last weekend’s $52,611) but has not yet reached $100,000.
