January 30th - February 2nd 2014 Weekend Results

After it's impressive debut last weekend, The wolf of wall street followed it up with an impressive hold dipping a small 27%.  Wolf has now amassed an amazing 12m and will become the biggest R18+ rated film in Australian history sometime this week (passing Basic Instincts 12.7m from 1992).  The length of time that film has held the record indicates how rare it is for a R18+ film to be this big.  Frankly at this pace, Wolf has a chance at passing the adjusted figure for Basic Instinct which is around 22.5m.  12 Years a slave had it first full weekend after being in pre-release last weekend, taking out second spot for 1.2m.  The book thief steadied in 3rd for another 1m on it's way to a likely total north of 15m.  Frozen, after having an amazing run through the holidays finally crashed back to earth dipping an expected high 63%. Still Frozen has now amassed 33m and is still an outside shot of reaching 35m.  Rounding out the 5 was Saving mr banks which has quietly amassed nearly 10m since it opened 4 weeks ago.  Grudge Match also opened this weekend and got destroyed only making a mere 350k.
