M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass enters weekend box office in pole position
M. Night Shyamalan’s superhero thriller film, Glass, has entered the Australian box office in the number one spot after it took $3.370m over the weekend.
The Walt Disney film is a sequel to 2000’s Unbreakable and 2016’s Split, and stars James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, Anya Taylor-Joy, Sarah Paulson and Samuel L. Jackson.
Warner Bros’ Aquaman failed to keep up the momentum from last weekend, after it fell from first place to fourth. The film took just $2m across 348 screens, down from last weekend’s $11m.
Universal’s Mary, Queen of Scots entered the box office in sixth position, taking $1.2m. The film features home grown talent Margot Robbie as Queen Elizabeth the first, alongside Irish-American actress Saoirse Ronan as the titular character.
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World remained in second position, with the Universal film taking $2.1m on its third weekend.
Paramount’s Instant Family attracted $2m across 273 screens on its second weekend since release.

Aquaman’s decline is much more sedate than alluded to in the report —
last weekend it earned 3.5 M, the 11 M mentioned was its opening several weeks back.
Meanwhile, Bohemian Rhapsody is about a week away from crossing 50 M and surging into the all-time top 10.
