Zac Efron movie We Are Your Friends fails to attract many with poor Australian debut
Zac Efron music film We Are Your Friends suffered one of the worst box office openings for a major studio film this year in Australia, taking just $1,424 per screen.
The film, in which Efron plays an aspiring DJ and is laden with EDM, has polarised music communities, and managed to take just $229,394 on 161 screens.
In what was a slow weekend at the box office Southpaw and Vacation continuing to lead the pack as the only films taking over $1m.
Studiocanal aren’t a major.
And they would struggle to open a can of coke.
The film trade press are loving this. WAYF didn’t only perform poorly, but apparently had the 4th worst opening weekend of any film that opened to more than 2,000 screens
DJs aren’t musicians, just annoying knob twiddlers. At least Meryl’s movie is about people who actually play instruments. Yeah, I’m old school.
Great to see Aussie film Holding the Man beat the Zac Efron film, despite having access to only one-fifth of the screens!
Yes, but then again, it was called “Holding the man”
