Ster-Kinekor’s Helen Kuun informs me that Poena Is Koning has so far taken R1,7-million at the South African box office — and that’s in 17 days. (See my previous post on the topic.)
So it is indeed doing well. How that stacks up against what it cost we don’t know: filmmaker Willie Esterhuizen tells me: “This movie was completely privately financed, and therefore the budget is a confidential matter between the producers and the financiers.”
He admits, though, that “we are all smiling”. I’d venture a guess that if the film cost more than R2-million to make, they spent a fortune on catering.
