“I am elated with the way South African audiences have received the film.”.
SHOOT: My neighbor gushed over this flick over the weekend. Looks different.
It’s official! Local actors Rapulana Seiphemo and Kenneth Nkosi’s debut feature film, White Wedding, is set to make the two artists millionaires.
Just over this past weekend, after its opening night, it has hit records for attendances and box office earnings.
The film grossed more than R1,1million at the box office when it was released on circuit this weekend, and these results are in line with the opening weekend performance of the smash hit Slumdog Millionaire’s gross earnings in March this year.
White Wedding has been seen by 48000 people since its release on Wednesday April 29, and has in fact outperformed X-men Origins: Wolverine at cinemas such as Ster-Kinekor Maponya Mall, Sterland, Savannah Mall, Southgate and The Wheel.
“We have watched every kind of local audience watching our movie, and what every screening has had in common are the smiles on people’s faces when they leave the theatres,” said director Jann Turner.
