After its first weekend in Canadian theaters, It's All Gone Pete Tong, released by Odeon June 10, grossed $42,449 from four screens.

The Canadian mock-doc about an Ibiza DJ going deaf, has also found success in the States. As of June 14, the sophomore feature from Fubar director Michael Dowse had brought in US$115,812 since its April 15 opening south of the border, where it is distributed by Matson Films.

At home, the film's impressive opening weekend per-theater average of $10,612 bests that of C.R.A.Z.Y., the French-language family drama starring Quebec icon Michel Côté, which, as of June 9, topped the domestic box-office chart, pulling in an average $8,347 per theater. Côté plays a father whose five sons vye for his attention.

The Cirrus Communications coproduction with writer/director Jean-Marc Vallée (Liste noire) was released by TVA May 27 and grossed over $1,866,000 by June 5.

Meanwhile, the independently distributed Hank Williams First Nation jumped back into the top five Canadian films for the week ending June 9. Directed by Aaron Sorensen, the feature has been a marked success at major venues in Alberta since its March 25 release. It has grossed over $24,000, according to the Motion Picture Theatre Associations of Canada.
