2040 Free For Students At More Cinemas This Weekend After Strong Opening Week
Following the great response from families and younger audiences to Madman Entertainment and Palace Cinemas’ initiative on the opening weekend of 2040, a network of cinemas around the country will now be making free tickets for students available on the film’s second weekend on June 1 and 2*.
Supported by Screen Australia, who are also a key funding partner of the film, the initiative coincides with the global advent of student-led climate change action and the fact that the film has resonated strongly with youth audiences at national Q&A preview screenings hosted by director Damon Gameau and other experts.
2040 had the fourth highest cinema opening weekend of all time for an Australian documentary and is on track to soon enter the top ten highest grossing Australian feature documentaries ever at the local cinema box office after its first week in national release. The opening week figure of $281,231 takes its box office total to $404,968. The film continues on 93 screens this week and will add another 21 in week three.
Directed by and starring Gameau (That Sugar Film), 2040 is a positive and empowering journey to explore what the future could look like by the year 2040 if we simply embraced the best solutions already available to us to improve our planet and shifted them rapidly into the mainstream.
