A film based on the life of Nelson Mandela,
“Long Walk to Freedom”, has become South Africa’s all-time highest grossing
picture after its opening last week, production company Videovision
Entertainment said Tuesday.
The British-South African co-production,
starring British actor Idris Elba as Mandela, has earned 4.4 million rand
($427,000, 315,000 euros) — shattering records previously held by blockbusters
like “The Wolverine”, “Hangover 3″ and some locally produced films. South African producer Anant Singh said he
was “extremely pleased with the audience reaction” and the emotional response
to the two-and-a half-hour movie.
