It banked a massive $196,170 in its first week, and it's now sitting on $588,273 after four weeks playing around the country, which means it's still going strong.

The film follows a young New Zealand-Samoan man called Adam (Neil Amituanai) as he heads to the motherland in a bid to impress his crush Mary (Gloria Ofa Blake), who only likes "real" Pacific Island men.

The self-funded, grassroots comedy, 'Three Wise Cousins' has made about US$200,000 in just two weeks.

It came in at number 7 at the New Zealand box office its first week, despite being shown at just eight cinemas throughout the country.

The promo for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens was posted on the movie's official account using the photo and video-sharing site's new landscape format.

The film is due for release in the UK just before Christmas this year.

The plot comes 30 years after Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.

The 43-year-old professional wrestler, who goes by his ring name The Rock, has joined Disney's live-action Jungle Cruise. Writers John Requa and Glenn Ficarra are also attached to the project, which is currently in development.

According to The Wrap, the film, which is based on the popular theme park ride, does not yet have a director. The site also reports that Johnson's film is expected to be a period piece.
