The MPDAA’s media release commented on the state of piracy in Australia, reporting that “the rise in cinema revenue is mirrored by the downturn in movie piracy which is showing a a decline in both the number of pirates and the frequency of activity for both teens (12-17yo) and adults (18-64yo).”
It also noted that several box office records were broken in 2018. Anzac Day for example became the highest grossing single day ever at the Australian box office, with a $11.2 million haul.
