Brad Pitt’s action flick abducted Jordan Peele’s latest feature the chance of landing the top spot at the Australian box office. It was a close battle, though: Bullet Train earned $2.32 million in its second week, narrowly beating Nope‘s opening week total of $2.21 million.
Meanwhile, quiet achiever Where The Crawdads Sing pulled in another handsome million in its fourth week while loud achiever Top Gun: Maverick is still earning big bucks months after its release.
Laal Singh Chaddha, the Indian remake of Forrest Gump, also landed some respectable business. Opening at #5, the film came $30,000 shy of snagging a million in its opening week but hurdled MCU blockbuster Thor: Love and Thunder, which has dropped to sixth place. Movie box office results, eh? They’re like a box of chocolates.
