Kenny makes it to $3 million after it’s first box office fall in it’s five week run.

Well, I suppose it had to happen at some point. Kenny had its first ‘normal’ run this week, taking $434,849, which was a fall of 18% on last week. On any other release this would be a really good fifth week result but after four weeks of increases I was really hoping Kenny could go just one more (okay, I lie- I wanted it to keep increasing forever).
It did however make it to $3 million- $2,999,917 to be precise- which puts it in the front seat to become the highest grossing local of 2006. More cinemas are screening the film as well, with another eight cinemas joining the bandwagon, making it 105 cinema screens around the country for a very healthy $4,141 per screen.
It really has been an amazing run for the humble Splashdown crew, and with rumours of big name actors wanting to work with the two men responsible for the mess, it could just be the beginning of another successful production team in the same vein as the Working Dog crew (they gave us The Castle, The Dish, All Aussie Adventures, Thank God You’re Here, etc).
With Kenny going gangbusters it’s easy to forget the current holder of ‘highest grossing local of 2006’, Jindabyne, which this week held sixteenth spot with $98,869. It was another steep fall from the drama, shaving 39% off last weeks total, which makes it increasingly likely that it will not make it to $5 million. It should, but there’s a good chance that it wont.
Finally, like last week, there was another debut that didn’t make it into the The Twenty with Last Train to Freo only getting $25,613 from its debut. Again, it had a tiny release of 8 cinema screens, so what they were trying to achieve in releasing it to film is beyond me but I suppose there must be a hard core market of cinema-philes out there who demand movies like this. It’s just annoying that they waste our tax money to make them.
The total take of locals this week was $533,718.

Last Train to Freo still- because I've run out of Kenny pictures to show.
