How long do movies stay in cinemas Australia

Another contributing factor, though most likely relevant to Hereditary, is release contracts. An example would be certain major releases from particular studios. If you want to be able to exhibit it, you are required to meet x terms and conditions. In some cases, this will be x presentations per day; a minimum run of x weeks, regardless of performance; a requirement to use your largest auditorium, often regardless of sales - as in, another picture is outselling it, but will remain in a smaller auditorium to comply with contract requirements; etc.
