Notes: Columbia backlot Raj-a-rama that had an opening at the Hoyts Memorial although it spent the rest of its run as an Independent theatres release. For that reason a number of weeks eventuated providing a 200+ EF score and a ranking just outside the top 100. Loaded Pistols and The Lovers alternated as program partners.
