#MelaniaFilm didn't make the top ten in Australia on the weekend, which is unsurprising how few screens it opened on. No real story there Real story? YouTuber @Markiplier 's low-budget adaptation #IronLung topped the weekend in Australia with $1.67m, knocking Marty Supreme

chuffed for Rose Byrne. She's one of the good eggs of the Oz industry. But a bit bummed for Joel Edgerton, who gives a more earthy performance than Ethan Hawke's showy and stagey job in Blue Moon. And how does Emma Stone get another but Jesse Plemons does not?
