"Long Walk to Freedom", a film based on the life of Nelson Mandela, has became South Africa's all-time highest grossing picture after its opening last week, production company Videovision Entertainment said Tuesday. The British-South African co-production, starring British actor Idris Elba as Mandela, has earned 4.4 million rand ($427,000, 315,000 euros) -- shattering records previously held by blockbusters like "The Wolverine", "Hangover 3" and some locally produced films. South African producer Anant Singh said he was "extremely pleased with the audience reaction" and the emotional response to the two-and-a half-hour movie.
