8 Mile has record-breaking Australian opening day

Universal continued its impressive international roll-out of 8 Mile with a record bow in Australia today (Jan 16), where the rap drama's $975,000 (A$1.7m) one-day haul marked the biggest January opening in Australian box office history. It was also distributor UIP's biggest ever opening in the territory - beating Meet the Parents, Mission: Impossible II and Tomorrow Never Dies - and the eighth biggest industry bow of all time.
