5:35pm – The Box Office summary is in, and goofy comedy Bad Neighbours has knocked The Other Women off top spot this weekend.
5:22pm – On Friday MediaCom shut down its Sydney office for the day and its staff took to the streets around the city to raise money for the Starlight Appeal which helps sick kids. This year they raised an impressive $48,000 just that day. The office also does all the pro bono work for the appeal. Good work guys and gals.
