“Pretty Bad”: Mzansi Unimpressed By Thuso’s ‘The Woman King’ Earning R18M In SA

Thuso Mbedu shows why many people trust her to fly the South African flag high on international stages. The actress’ film, The Woman King, grossed R18 million in South African cinemas.

In The Woman King, Thuso shared the screen with big names like Viola Davis and John Boyega. The stars brought the historical action drama to life, which is why it debuted with $19.1 million (over R346 940 000) at the box office, reported The Hollywood Reporter.

Taking to Twitter, entertainment commentator Phil Mphela shared a tweet announcing that The Woman King bagged over R18 million in Mzansi. Peeps weren’t impressed after converting the earnings to dollars which is $982,819.50.

Some people took advantage of the opportunity to criticise the film, claiming that the plot was confusing to them.
