GODDESS, the kitchen-sink musical starring British actress Laura Michelle Kelly, Ronan Keating and Magda Szubanski, hit the right note with Australian audiences at the weekend.
Following in the footsteps of song-driven crowd-pleasers such as Bran Nue Dae and The Sapphires, the film took $500,000 and the No 4 spot, overtaking Oscar-favourite The Silver Linings Playbook in its seventh week at the box office.
Kelly, who originated the role of Mary Poppins in the stage musical, stars as an isolated housewife who finds an international audience via her webcam.
Stan Walker's feature debut, Mt Zion, also punched above its weight. The Kiwi drama had the highest screen average ($7,755) of any film in the Top 20.
Oz the Great and Powerful remains at No. 1, with Jim Carrey and Steve Carell's The Incredible Burt Wonderstone at No. 2.
The figures were a welcome boost for the Australian box office after a disappointing start to the year. The cricket film Save Your Legs, with Stephen Curry and Brendan Cowell, and the AFL film Blinder performed well below expectations.
