Australian films are the top three earners at the local box office for the first time in cinema history, according to Screen Australia.
Robert Connolly’s The Dry, starring Eric Bana, has taken more than $17m at the box office since it opened on 1 January.
Media analytics company Numero has reportedly analysed more than 50 years of box office data to support the claim.
The film is the number one box office earner for 2021 in Australia to date, beating the DreamWorks family animation The Croods: A New Age and the latest Hollywood blockbuster in the DC extended universe, Wonder Woman 1984.
