Hemsworth’s Snow White opens strong as The Avengers enters local history books
Australian actor Chris Hemsworth helped drive box office audiences for both of his films this week with Snow White and the Huntsman the most watched film and The Avengers became the third highest grossing film at the local box office.
Snow White, distributed by Universal, took $6.194m at the box office over the weekend according to the Motion Picture Distributors Association of Australia, across 379 screens for a hefty $16,345 screen average.
Meanwhile, Hemsworth’s other theatrical release, The Avengers, has become the third highest grossing film of all time at the Australian box office. In its ninth week the superhero film made another $307,314, taking its overall box office to $52,752,000.
Coming in second at the box office over the weekend, Walt Disney animation Brave opened across 425 screens for a $5,905 screen average to take $2.509m for the weekend with another $1m in pre-sales.
You forgot to mention ‘Cabin in the Woods’ – yet another Chris Hemsworth movie at #18… Surely a record for one actor to be starring in no less than three top 20 movies at the same time?
Hemsworth is totally hot. “The cabin in the wood” is also impressive since it was released in only 7 theaters!
