Whale Rider is still number one at the box office, eight weeks after its release.
The New Zealand film has retained the top spot longer than past blockbusters, including The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Harry Potter 1 and 2 and the most recent of the Star Wars series.
Whale Rider has become the country's highest-grossing movie in its home market, taking almost $4.5 million.
