For the second weekend running, the latest Mad Max film has dominated the top of the Australian Box Office (week ending 27th May), outperforming the new entry Spy – which performed well for an American Comedy amongst positive reviews. Pitch Perfect 2 brought in an impressively strong weekend, too, especially being its third on the charts (it has now brought in over $22 million).

The three films gave cinemas in Australia a healthy weekend, while the second Avengers film continued to perform strongly, and Woman in Gold didn’t do too poorly in its debut. Poltergeist would have been a disappointing debut – but not unexpected –  while the fact that Furious 7 remains in the top 10 two months after release is a stunning feat in itself. It should hit close to $45 million before it finishes up on our screens, a figure that Avengers should creep up close to as well.  Here are the numbers from the weekend:

# Film Title Distributor Box Office
1 MAD MAX: FURY ROAD ROADSHOW 4,169,213
2 SPY FOX 3,623,297
3 PITCH PERFECT 2 UNIVERSAL 3,223,348
4 WOMAN IN GOLD ROADSHOW 1,084,518
5 THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON WALT DISNEY 1,083,564
6 POLTERGEIST FOX 755,306

8 TANU WEDS MANU RETURNS INDIES 196,832
9 UNFRIENDED UNIVERSAL 101,907
10 FAST AND FURIOUS 7 UNIVERSAL 93,530

San Andreas and Tomorrowland will serve as strong competition for all films at the top next weekend.
