Save Your Legs has disappointing opening at the box office
A new Australian film about cricket has struggled at the box office on its opening weekend.
Save Your Legs opened across an ambitious 176 screens for distributor Madman, taking $165,000, for a screen average of just $936 per screen.
The film is directed by Boyd Hicklin, who created the 2005 documentary of the same name about a team of Australian cricketers on a cricket and cultural exchange to India.
Brendan Cowell wrote the adaptation and stars in it alongside Stephen Curry and Damon Gameau. The film is produced by Bran Nue Dae’s Robyn Kershaw and Nick Batzias.
Never heard of the film, but probably wouldn’t be interested anyway.
And I am sick of Brendan Cowell being in every 2nd Aussie film – it seems like the same people get used over and over.
For anyone who hasn’t seen it, the 2005 documentary is an absolute hoot. Not sure that it can be topped. Why bother making it into a feature film
Looking forward to seeing this, it looks great and the doco was simply brilliant.
Australian Cricket really is in the doldrums in every possible way.

It’s a good fun movie, you should go see it
Agree… it’s a fun movie and worth a look.
didn’t even know it was at the cinemas
Cricketers, both professional and amateur, always appear super arrogant. I don’t know why. I don’t know who want to see this film.
p.s. the only thing sadder than a movie about an amateur cricket team is following your team across the world to sing ditties.
Save Your Money.
