Phenomenal opening for 3 Days to Go at local box office

Local dramedy, 3 Days to Go, has passed the R1 million mark at the box office since its release on 25 January with more than 17 696 tickets sold.  It ranked number 5 on top 10 local box office report and was right up there in ticket sales with mega box-office hits.

“Thank you, South Africa, for coming out in the numbers to support our film.  Looking forward to your continued support.  If you have a family, then you need to see this film”, said director Bianca Isaac.

The film tells the story of adult siblings who, after the sudden death of their father, are forced to return to their childhood home – with an assortment of partners, children, and issues in tow. They need to survive three days in each other’s company, under one roof, before they spread their father’s ashes and part ways.

“The film, 3 Days to Go, is a sweetly sentimental South African production with a strong emotional thread which will appeal to a wide cross-section of cinemagoers. First-time movie director and writer Bianca Isaac has done a sterling job in marrying the elements, using split-screen techniques and Hollywood gloss to convey her multi-layered story,” said The Citizen’s Peter Feldman.

The movie boasts an impressive cast, which includes, Leeanda Reddy, Bollywood’s Lillette Dubey, Jailoshini Naidoo, Kajal Bagwandeen, Rahul Brijnath, Pranesh Maharaj, Ruben Naidoo and Zakeeya Patel as the dysfunctional Isaac family. They are joined on screen by Jonathan Boynton-Lee, Tumi Morake and Ashish Gangapersad. Highlighting Isaac’s affinity towards nurturing young talent, the film also features newcomer Kiara Govender.
