With more than half the country’s population in lockdown, it followed that the box office would take a tumble, with no title cracking $1 million last weekend.
According to Numero, the top 20 films tallied just $2.9 million, down 52 per cent on the previous.
Overall, it was quietest weekend since mid last November, when there was a dearth of Hollywood product and Victorian cinemas were capped to just 20 people per theatre.

Other parts of Nsw and South East Queensland are subject to compulsory mask wearing indoors, which may also be detering some moviegoers.
The landscape saw new releases Old and Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins unable to reach their full potential, though both have received mixed reviews.
