‘Diabolical’: Australian box office crashed by almost 70 per cent last year | gmaddox

Still running: Elizabeth Debicki and John David Washington in Tenet.The figures suggest how bleak times have been for an industry that reputedly employed 13,000 people before the pandemic and that started last year strongly, with box office up 9 per cent in January.

“To get back down to $400 million has meant a lot of pain in our industry,” he said. “As much as we’ve handled COVID OK in parts here, we’ve suffered with Hollywood holding back content because of the global situation.”bumping from April to October, Keogh expected box office to continue to be depressed until the middle of the year, with takings down 35 to 40 per cent this month on a “normal” January.

The chief executive of Palace Cinemas, Benjamin Zeccola, said cinemas went through “just about the most depressing time of our lives” with closures effectively of four months in Sydney and eight months in Melbourne. “Yes, it’s a horrible 12 to 18 months but this industry has been around for more than a hundred years ... It’ll be fine once we get to the other side.”
