Australian films have raked in $13.7 million at the national box-office this year, a brighter start than the first four months of 2013.
Jonathan Teplitzky.s The Railway Man still ranks as the top title, making $5.5 million this calendar year and $7.3 million since its Boxing Day launch.
Greg Mclean.s Wolf Creek 2 wound up with $4.7 million, a solid number but below the original.s $6.1 million in 2005.
John Curran.s Tracks has taken $2.36 million, a modest result given the mostly positive reviews, Transmission's extensive publicity campaign and Mia Wasikowska.s performance as Robyn Davidson.
The one costly misfire is Stuart Beattie.s $65 million I, Frankenstein, whose fate was probably sealed after the action-horror film bombed in the Us in January.
It.s too early to judge the potential of Sophie Hyde.s 52 Tuesdays, which opened on May 1.
Hidden Universe 3D, Backyard Ashes, Lygon Street: Si Parla Italiano and Uncharted Waters:...

Jonathan Teplitzky.s The Railway Man has exceeded the industry.s expectations, making $5.5 million this calendar year and $7.2 million since its Boxing Day launch.
Greg Mclean.s Wolf Creek 2 has pocketed nearly $4.7 million, a solid number, although the sequel won.t match the original.s $6.1 million haul in 2005.
John Curran.s Tracks has taken nearly $2.1 million, a modest result given the mostly laudatory reviews, the extensive ad-pub campaign and Mia Wasikowska.s knock-out performance as the .camel girl. Robyn Davidson.
One school of thought is that the film was impacted by competition from Oscar-winner 12 Years a Slave and The Monuments Men.
Another theory holds that many people were familiar with the tale of the young woman.s 2,700 km trek across the Outback and wrongly expected the film...
