“Snow White and The
Huntsman” is currently the fairest movie of them all as Australian movie goers
flocked the theaters on the film’s opening weekend. Hollywood stars Kristen
Stewart and Chris Hemsworth helped a lot in giving their film a strong boost
with their public appearances while promoting the movie. Well, hard work had
definitely paid off because the movie takes on the top spot in Australia’s box
office with a staggering $6.19 million earning during the first weekend film
release.
Stewart
and Hemsworth flew to Sydney, Australia last week just to be at the movie
premiere of “Snow White and The Huntsman” which also stars Oscar-winning
actress Charlize Theron as the evil queen. Fans were happy to see the movie
stars promoting their film and it is what made these movie fanatics decide to
check out their latest work in theaters.
The Disney princess
in a Pixar Animation movie “Brave” was not able to take the throne from Snow
White. However, the fairy tale themed movie came in at second place in the box
office with a figure of $2.5 million in the opening weekend of the film.
According to the figures given by the Motion Picture Distributors Association
of Australia, other films such as “Prometheus” by Sir Ridley Scott and “That’s
My Boy” which is the latest comedy film of actor Adam Sandler was moved to the
third and fourth place, respectively.
Meanwhile, “Rock of Ages” starring Tom Cruise did not
make that much noise in the box office and the film is on its third week already
since the release making it land on the fifth spot in the list. “Men in Black
III” moved down to the sixth place in the box office list and the ensemble
comedy film “What To Expect When You’re Expecting” is at number seven. “The
Avengers” is currently at number eight on the list but the movie managed
a ground-breaking box office record by taking $52.7 million overall since the
film was first released. The period drama film “A Royal Affair” is at ninth
place in the box office while the Canadian comedy movie “Take This Waltz”
completes the list at the number ten spot.
“The Avengers” is now
claimed to be the third biggest movie ever on the Australian box office next to
the the films “Avatar” and “Titanic.” Will “Snow White and The Huntsman” be
able to surpass the record that “The Avengers” movie hold? If the film can,
then it will really make Snow White the fairest of them all.
