Kincsem breaks box office record for Hungarian film
Budapest, May 25 (MTI) – Kincsem, an homage to the world’s greatest thoroughbred race horse, has broken the box office record for a Hungarian film, distributor Forum Hungary told MTI.
The film’s box office receipts reached 500 million forints (EUR 1.6m) on Tuesday, Forum Hungary said. More than 374,500 people have seen the film since it opened a little more than two months ago, it added.
Kincsem is directed by Gábor Herendi. The Hungarian National Film Fund contributed more than 2 billion forints to the film’s 2.9 billion forint budget.
Kincsem, foaled in Hungary in 1874, won 54 races for 54 starts, a record that still stands today.
