Mary Sum Says:
Avatar will pass the $100 M mark this week after taking $4 M at the weekend, bringing its total to $98.37 M. Australian/US vampire co-pro Daybreakers, sucked up a tad over $1 M, while Edge of Darkness opened with $1.4 M. But it was the acclaimed drama, Precious, which grabbed the second highest screen averages after Avatar, with an average of $9,229 on 27 screens for an opening weekend take of $250,000. The top 20 took $13.3 M, down 11%. #Figures in [brackets] indicate number of screens and average; takings are in Aus dollars.
