Australia's box office hit near-record highs in 2018 for both overall revenue and the share taken by domestic films, the Motion Picture Distributors Association of Australia (MPDAA) said Tuesday.
Total box office grosses were $888 million (AUS$1.245 billion), just shy of 2016’s record $898 million (AUS$1.259 billion) and up 3.6 percent on 2017. Disney titles Avengers: Infinity Wars, which grossed $44.1 million, and Incredibles 2, which took $32.6 million, were the top-ranked films at the Aussie box office for 2018 overall.
Fox’s Bohemian Rhapsody came in third with a 2018 cume of $30.2 million. The Golden Globe best picture winner is still beloved of Aussie audiences, now in its 12th week in release and with a total gross to date of $34.2 million.
The other top performing films of the year were Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (Universal, $25.3 million), Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (Sony Pictures $23.5 million), A Star Is Born (Warner Bros $23.4 million) and The Greatest Showman (Fox $16.63 million). Rounding out the Top 10 films for 2018 was Sony Pictures’ Australian collaboration Peter Rabbit ($19.06 million), which was also the top ranking Australian release at the local box office.
