NZ film hits $1 million after seven weeks

Box-office revenue for In My Father's Den has reached $1 million, seven weeks after release in cinemas nationwide.

More than 100,000 New Zealanders have seen the thriller, said Hoyts Distribution, which released the movie on behalf of Icon Film Distribution.

The New Zealand-British co-production based on a novel by Maurice Gee won the jury prize at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain in September and the international critics prize at that month's Toronto Film Festival.
