White Wedding grosses R1 million on first weekend

Released on the South African circuit this past weekend, locally produced road-movie-rom-com reportedly grossed over R1.1 million. These results are in line with the opening weekend performance of smash hit Slumdog Millionaire's gross earnings on its opening weekend in March 2009. Commented writer/producer/actor Kenneth Nkosi, “South Africans are sending us a message: they want to see themselves and laugh at themselves on the big screen.” White Wedding stars Nkosi and Rapulana Seiphemo, who also co-wrote and co-produced the film with director Jann Turner. The film is currently playing in cinemas nationwide.
