In a pretty quiet week, release-wise, the sequel nobody dared dream – Now You See Me 2 – topped the Australian box office with $3.7 million in takings / Jodi Foster’s thriller Money Monster opened in second place while Bollywood’s Housefull 3 opened 9th / Disappointingly, Werner Herzog’s Queen of the Desert with Nicole Kidman failed to excite both critics and Australian moviegoers – opening 13th with only $99,700 gross in its first week
