Mrs Right Guy sure hit the right note with South African audiences. The local film raked in R1-million in its opening weekend, performing favourably alongside strong international titles like X-Men Apocalypse, Angry Birds and Money Monster.
Arts and Culture minister Nathi Mthethwa hailed the achievement, tweeting: “Congratulations to the producers & cast of Mrs Right Guy for the great reception of the movie since its release on Friday, 3 June. Well done.”'
Mrs Right Guy, which stars Dineo Meoketsi, Thapelo Mokoena and Boity Thulo is a rom-com about a city girl torn between two love interests. Moekoena, who plays a suave businesman , thanked the film’s fans for making it a success.
“Thank you to everyone who took to the cinemas this past opening weekend. The film has hit the R1million mark in its opening weekend. We encourage all South Africans to get out there & see Mrs Right Guy. Enjoy South African cinema at its best.
Mrs Right Guy’s stong showing at the box office continues the trend of locally produced movies doing well with South African audiences. Films like Tell Me Sweet Something, Hear Me Move and Ayanda and the Mechanic prove that Mzansi wants to see its stories told on screen. – Tonight Reporter
