Wall-E has put up an amazing fight, being Numero Uno at the Australian Box-Office for 3 weeks in a row! It even managed to beat Papi and Co. from the horror flick Beverly Hills Chihuahua, pushing it to the number two spot in its weekend debut!
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, as the premiere of DiCaprio and Crowe political “Aye-Rack” thriller Body of Lies managed to relegate our favourite robot to second place in its fourth week of release. Still, that puts it at a surprising advantage compared to newer films that would have appealed more to the adults (like The Duchess and My Best Friend’s Girl) but obviously didn’t.
Over in the Lion City, Wall-E got a headstart over Kangaroo Island, debuting at number 1 on opening weekend at the Singapore box-office from August 28-31, and maintaining that pole position in its 2nd weekend takings. It fell to 3 in the third, and remained at 6th for the fourth and fifth weekend, which is quite good staying power when up against heavyweights like Death Race, Mamma Mia, Bangkok Dangerous, Babylon A.D. and Disaster Movie.
