Box Office Matters: Snowtown takes a bow at a million plus

In only its seventh week of theatrical release, Snowtown – the debut feature from director Justin Kurzel and producers Anna McLeish and Sarah Shaw – has passed the magical $1 million box office mark.

Madman Entertainment, the film’s Australian distributors, have announced that Snowtown’s current cumulative box office take is AUS$1,001,760 – making it the third highest grossing Australian film of 2010 behind Sanctum and Oranges and Sunshine.

Snowtown will also receive an international theatrical release through Revolver Entertainment in the UK and IFC Films in North America.
