Mary Sum Says:
In its debut weekend, Chronicle took more than twice the total of the next 2 films in the top 20, with $2.93 M on 192 screens (avg $15,228). Man On A Ledge opened softly with $469,838 on 149 (avg $3,153) and The Artist, hot with Globes and Oscar buzz, opened with $372,306 on 39 (avg $9,546), probably in line with expectations for this endearing B&W ode to Hollywood in the 20s. Martha Marcy May Marlene had a slow start with $86,092 on 35 (avg $2,460). The top 20 was down 35% to $12.59 M. #Figures in [brackets] indicate number of screens and average; takings are in Aus dollars.
