Despite some new and not so new additions to the Australian box office top five Russell Crowe‘s Unhinged has maintained its spot on top as it continues its strong run since release.
Joining Unhinged on the charts at #2 is the George Lucas classic Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope which was originally released in 1977.
Two new releases have joined the top five in the comedy-drama Made in Italy and the action film Force of Nature starring Mel Gibson.
Overall the Australian box office’s revenue was up 20% on last weekend making a total of $2.07m
