Save Your Legs! posts disappointing opening weekend at box office
4 March 2013 2:39 AM, PST | IF.com.au | See recent IF.com.au news »
Save Your Legs! has posted one of the worst box office opening weekend performances among Australian films released in recent times.
The comedy, distributed by Madman Entertainment, grossed $164,654 on 176 screens giving it a screen average of just $936 despite attracting generally positive reviews. It is the first major Australian film released in 2013 and stars Brendan Cowell and Stephen Curry as suburban cricketers who travel to India. In total, Save Your Legs! has grossed $188,133.
By way of comparison, a similarly wide local release, comedy Housos Vs. Authority, took $526,166 across 151 screens for a screen average of $3485 on its opening weekend last November. Bait 3D, which was lambasted for its tepid local opening (before becoming a surprise hit in China), grossed $365,187 across 283 screens last year for a screen average of $1290.
Other Australian films to struggle in recent years include teen drama Wasted on the Young, which opened with $52,907 across 54 screens in March 2011 (screen average $979); drama Matching Jack, »

Two Mothers Trailer Features Naomi Watts And Robin Wright Lusting After Each Other's Sons
16 February 2013 11:23 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The emotional tug-of-war between love and lust has long inspired novels and films, including Doris Lessing.s novel The Grandmothers. For its cinematic adaptation, screenwriter Christopher Hampton (Dangerous Liaisons, A Dangerous Method) and director Anne Fontaine (Coco Before Chanel, Nathalie.) had their work cut out for them, and they appear to have cut out a bit of the story in their process. Vlicious! has the first trailer for the Australian drama, which is now titled Two Mothers, which should give you some clue as to what kind of cuts were made. Naomi Watts and Robin Wright play lifelong best friends and neighbors whose relationships with each other.s sons turns sexual. Those sons are played James Frenchville , who was quite impressive in David Michôd.s Animal Kingdom, and Xavier Samuel, whom horror fans will know from his insane performance in another Australian film, Sean Byrne.s The Loved Ones. »
Wicked of Oz's Justin Dix signs Fox deal, Declassified film in the works
10 February 2013 2:51 PM, PST | IF.com.au | See recent IF.com.au news »
Filmmaker and effects guru Justin Dix has won the backing of Us studio Fox International to make his new thriller, Declassified, and is eyeing up Australia as a potential shoot location later this year.
The deal follows the success of his debut horror-thriller Crawlspace, which had its international festival premiere at the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival in October 2012. A positive reaction there from Fox International.s head of development led to several meetings and a deal with the studio, which is currently being inked.
.They want to have a future together which is great...,. Dix said from La where he is currently holding Declassified story meetings with Fox.
He said Fox is keen to shoot the film in the Us Fall (September - November) and Sydney.s Fox Studios Australia looms as a likely location. The film would then qualify for the 40 per cent Producer Offset tax rebate.

Justin’S Top Horror Picks Of 2012!
31 December 2012 5:07 PM, PST | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
10 – The Loved Ones
I had the pleasure of personally screening this highly underrated Australian gem to an unsuspecting audience, and it collectively floored all of us. It received a release in it’s native country three years ago, and after playing several festivals to unanimous acclaim, Paramount swooped in and acquired it. Sadly, they dumped it this past Summer with little promotion, but if you’re a regular reader of Iof (and any other genre site for that matter!) you know The Loved Ones is totally worth your time and needs all the love it can get. It sports some of the most cringe inducing scenes of torture, and features an incredibly psychopathic performance by Robin McLeavy.
9 – The Grey
Yep, the ignorantly marketed “Neeson vs. Wolves” film The Grey is one of the most bone-chilling films’ this year. Bleak, throat-grabbing, and uncompromisingly vicious, The Grey is a horror film of the existential variety, »
