Murder on the Orient Express overtakes Thor: Ragnarok at the weekend box office
Thor: Ragnarok has been toppled from the top of box office takings with the latest remake of Murder on the Orient Express slightly edging the Marvel action movie out of top spot.
Produced by veteran actor Kenneth Branagh, who also plays the lead role of detective Hercule Poirot, the fourth version of Agatha Christie’s 1934 novel grossed Fox $3,851,171 across 333 Australian screens on its opening weekend.
Wonderful, good to hear this news, I wish them well.
I do have one question. Why did we not produce this movie?
Yes, us; Australian producers and production crews could have made this movie, and an Australian director could have been found ( with some considerable hard work) and (with a little less work) Australian actors could also have been found, to make this film and many more like it. Trouble is, we dig in and look at our struggling industry as if we are genius loners on a hostile planet, and we repeat the mindless faults and naive blunders of decades past, as we pick up bigger and bigger poor ideas, and drop them on our own feet.
