The Hurt Locker, tuyrbocharged by Oscar, rose 12% in its third wek, with second highest averages ($18,333 on 48); Dear John did well, too, with a first week of $2.29 M, but Men Who Stare at Goats stared at a few too few screens, taking just under $670,000 on 58 (11,543 avge). Also opened: Separation City (MA, Hoyts) $23,086 on 15. #Figures in [brackets] indicate number of screens and average; takings are in Aus dollars.
