Wog Boy 2: Kings of Mykonos has been named the equal third highest grossing local film in Australia for 2010. The Wog Boy sequel followed from Tomorrow, When the War Began, which grossed $13.5 million and the indigenous road movie-musical Bran Nue Dae, which made $7.7 million.
Tying for third place with multiple AFI winner Animal Kingdom, The Kings of Mykonos made $4.9 million. Speaking to Neos Kosmos Nick Giannopoulos said he was very proud that both of his films are in the top 50 highest grossing Australian films of all time.
“The Kings of Mykonos has certainly been a lot more popular than the Wog Boy in Greece where it went to number one at the box office,” Giannopoulos said. “So far it is also going very well in terms of international sales all over the world.”
Giannopoulos said it is important that Greek Australians continue to inspire future generations of, not only Greek Australians, but all Australians regardless of their cultural background.
