More than 20 New Zealand feature films are due out for release this year.
Will any be smash hits? It doesn't happen that often when you think about it.
The Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Boy, The World's Fastest Indian, Whale Rider and Once Were Warriors are still the top five. And the most recent one, Wilderpeople, came out back in 2016.
Number nine in the top ten came out in 2014, that was What We Do In The Shadows.
But is box office success the only gauge of a healthy homegrown film industry?
