Batman beats The Avengers in survey of most popular DVDs released in Australia this year
The story of a billionaire orphan who dresses as a bat to protect his city has beaten the story of a billionaire who dresses as a robot while he protects Earth in a ranking of the most popular DVDs released in Australia this year.
Batman film The Dark Knight Rises beat The Avengers to the top spot on Quickflix’s top 10 list. The DVD and streaming video service has over 100,000 members, with members able to rate any film on the site with a score out of five.
Ranking third was Australia’s The Sapphires, produced by Goalpost Pictures’ Rosemary Blight and Kylie De Fresne and directed by Wayne Blair.
Meanwhile, the lowest scoring film was The Deep Blue Sea, written and directed by Terence Davies and starring Rachel Weisz and Tom Hiddleston.
The Lady at no.6 must be a typo or shows how small and non reflective of the cinema going audience this survey is.
Hi Bob
This survey is based on an average rating of each film which received over 50 votes. So perhaps just 51 people watched The Lady as compared to the possible 100s or 1000s that saw Dark Knight Rises, but all 51 reasonably enjoyed it, so its % rate is good enough to be there.
Also, its based on DVD viewers, not cinema-goers, as Quickflix is a home video service.
Cheers
