Box Office Weekly Data May 2003

All figures are in Australian dollars.  Welcome to the Sammi Cinema box office information page.  I won't bore you with details of what films I liked or expected to do well, or indulge in inane chatter about statistics, I'll just post the most up-to-date box office data I can get my hands on.  Note I include the weekend results as well as more detailed full weekly details.   These are NOT the same list.., examine the weekend and weekly data for the same week, the top 20 is similar, but never identical!
