Madman Entertainment head of theatrical James Hewison says the distribution company remains fairly open to producers and local projects, and that the success of films such as Animal Kingdom is nothing but the result of a close collaboration.

What were your strongest performing films of the 2009/2010 financial year?

The September Issue was a great performer, particularly for a documentary. It took $1.6m here and around $620,000 in NZ.

We were also pleased with some of our Australian films, most notably Van Diemen’s Land and the re-release of Wake in Fright, which took $300,000 each. In 2010 it’s been Animal Kingdom, which we expect to gross about $5m.
