The success of The Hunt for the Wilderpeople has put Taika Waititi in the position of having directed the top two-grossing New Zealand movies.
Top spot is still held by his 2010 hit Boy which grossed more than $9.2 million at the local box office, but with takings of $7.4 million in four weeks his latest film looks set to surpass that.
It’s the second-most viewed film in New Zealand this week, behind Disney property The Jungle Book with took in $2.5 million in its first week.
