Roadshow Films will focus on the local market. Seph McKenna, head of production at the Australian film production company, says the company was too small to compete with US studios. He believes Australian films could be successfully promoted in the mid-budget market segment.

Just four Australian films made more than $A1 million at the domestic box office in 2014. Data from Rentrak suggests that locally-made films made just over $A28.5 million during the year. Entertainment One reports that director Russell Crowe’s debut feature, "The Water Diviner", reaped $A5.65 million between its Boxing Day release and the end of 2014. This places the film ahead of Greg McLean’s "Wolf Creek 2" as the biggest-earning local film of the year
