Awesome week for Kenny as word of mouth kicks in but quiet performances from the rest of the crew.

Local Content Score- 4 of Top 20
It’s every low budget flick’s dream come true to have word-of-mouth that actually works and Kenny seems to have the magical touch. After it’s second full week of screening Kenny has increased it’s box office total by 11% for a haul of $403,668 and a grand total of $1,012,637. It lost a spot, dropping to eighth, but that doesn’t matter because it looks like we could have a popular comedy on our hands. Hooray!
Who knows how long the good form will continue but this is the sort of result that can earn you some editorial space in the papers. If you’re lucky that editorial coverage can then turn into hype and in box office land hype means more tickets sold. Here’s hoping that some hype does happen and Kenny can at least maintain its box office next week. If it can do that this little battler should be on its way to at least $2.5 million with the optimists looking at $3 million plus which would be awesome.
From Kenny it’s down to twelfth with Jindabyne earning $256,930 to crash through the $4 million barrier for $4,056,670 in total. That’s another decent fall of only 20% from last week which should see Jindabyne go on to make about $4.7 million all up. Not a massive total but it puts it on track to become title contender for highest grossing local film of 2006 which is not a bad string to your bow.
It was a large fall down to fourteenth where 2:37 is languishing. This movie was never really going to do that well and with a second week haul of $94,131 and a bad drop off of 29% it will be lucky to last another two weeks in the Top Twenty. With form like this 2:37 will be lucky to break $500,000 which makes you wonder why they even bother funding movies like this. Why not put that money to good use, like with more cheap Kenny style movies. At least they make their money back.
Finally, one place below 2:37 in fifteenth spot, was Ten Canoes. The ten intrepid watercraft managed to make $85,859 this week for a total of $2,719,956 after nine weeks in the Top Twenty. With tiny falls of 8% per week Ten Canoes could still be around for a fair while yet and it would be great to see it make $3 million although that is unlikely. We’ll just have to see.
So, another good week from local flicks with a total of $840,588 made across the board, taking the yearly total to about $13,154,690. Stay tuned next week to see if Kenny can continue increasing it’s box office take (or at least keep the falls low).
