NOTES: A rare instance of a Union suburban release granted a first week in a Hoyts Theatre (The St. Kilda Memorial). This British thriller had a limited number of playdates but stretched them into a 41st week. Picked up a number of bookings far from the CBD, placing it 19th on the list of average metres travelled.
