SYDNEY -- Hollywood movies have lost their clout Down Under, at least on the small screen. They've become an endangered species on Australian television, with the traditional Sunday night feature making way for event programs, series drama, locally made telefilms or miniseries. "There are too many opportunities to see movies before they get to free-to-air television on a Sunday night," Seven Network director of programming and production Tim Worner said. "Viewers can see them at the cinema, buy the DVDs -- you just about get assaulted by them at checkouts -- they are giving them away free with pizzas, you can see them on pay TV. So it stands to reason they are not going to be as attractive as they once were." The top-rated movie for the year was the locally produced telepic The Alice on the Nine Network, with an average of 1.8 million viewers. It was No. 30 on the top 100 list, ahead of blockbusters Shrek (1.67 million viewers), Ocean's Eleven (1.59 million) and Bridget Jones's Diary (1.5 million), the only three overseas movies to make it into the top 100.
