‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ (Photo credit: Paramount Pictures).
Paramount’s live action/CGI adaptation of the Sega video game Sonic the Hedgehog won the weekend derby in Australia while the historic four Oscar wins paid off for Madman Entertainment’s Parasite.
Universal/Working Title’s update of Jane Austen’s classic novel Emma and Blumhouse/Sony Pictures’ Fantasy Island inspired by the 1980s TV series both had middling debuts.
Warner Bros’ true-life drama Richard Jewell tanked, another misfire for Clint Eastwood following The Mule and The 15:17 to Paris.
Meanwhile Madman’s The Leunig Fragments, a feature doc from writer-director Kasimir Burgess, had a low-key bow on limited screens and sessions.
The top 20 titles generated $15.6 million, 7 per cent up on the previous frame, according to Numero.
The feature debut of director Jeff Fowler, Sonic the Hedgehog scored $3.8 million on 365 screens. Village Cinemas national film programming manager Geoff Chard rated that as a very solid start,...

An essential collection for serious comics fans
Paul Gravett's 2005 compendium Graphic Novels: Stories To Change Your Life set a standard not just for excellence but also for immodest titles. At first glance, 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die seems to crank up the cockiness even further. However, this book is just part of Cassell's trademarked series of guides to paintings, movies, buildings, historic sites and other cultural highlights you must sample before your demise. Gravett's role is that of editor, collating articles written by 65 contributors from all over the world. The medium's ongoing struggle for respect is underlined by the fact that, despite this international community of lecturers, museum curators and historians, the cover blurb still feels the need to tell you that "comics are emphatically no longer just for kids".
Terry Gilliam, accorded equal billing with Gravett, seems to have been roped in mainly for his celebrity value,...
