Written by
The New Zealand Film Commission congratulates Mt Zion for topping the New Zealand Box Office for its first weekend.
The weekend's success combined with an opening day on Waitangi Day Wednesday of more than $200,000 takes Mt Zion to nearly half a million at the box office in its opening week.
“Once again, I take my hat off to the whole Mt Zion team and congratulate them on this exciting achievement,” says New Zealand Film Commission Chief Executive Graeme Mason. "Mt Zion has been very well-received and it's great to see audiences turning out to see the good work for themselves."
The film stars Stan Walker, Temuera Morrison, Miriama Smith, Troy Kingi, David Wikaira-Paul and Darcey-Ray Flavell-Hudson.
It is written and directed by Tearapa Kahi, produced by Quinton Hita and executive produced by Christina Milligan.
Mt Zion is a Small Axe Films production made in association with the New Zealand Film Commission, NZ On Air, Maori Television and Te Mangai Paho and is distributed in New Zealand by Sony Pictures.
