"Eagle vs Shark" (2007) was director Taika Waititi's first feature film, starring Jemaine Clement and Loren Horsley. The film earned over at the box office. Waititi's film "Boy", released in 2010, topped the box office receipts for the opening week, earning more on its opening day than any previous locally made film, becoming the highest-grossing New Zealand film of all time. In 2014 the mockumentary "What We Do in the Shadows", directed by Waititi and Clement, was released to substantial critical acclaim. Two years later, Waititi released "Hunt for the Wilderpeople," starring Sam Neill and Julian Dennison, a film that became the new highest-grossing opening weekend box office New Zealand film on home soil, beating the record set by "Boy" six years prior.
