The Norwegian Film This can be a Bigger Success Than 'Harry Potter' and 'Transformers'

It's unofficially Jo Nesbo week at Moviefone! For your uninitiated, Nesbo might be the Norwegian author behind the Harry Hole quantity of books that Martin Scorsese may (but many likely won't) supply the large-screen. He's also responsible for 'Headhunters,' popular within the native country that's already the finest-grossing Norwegian film of-a while and may soon pass 'Harry Potter' being the finest hit in Norwegian this year. 'Headhunters,' of a headhunter trying to seize an excellent little bit of artwork in the mercenary, is approaching 50 million Kroner according to THR, which roughly equals $9 million in U.S. currency. That's greater than double 'Transformers: Dark in the Moon' acquired in Norwegian, and near the $11 million acquired by 'Harry Potter as well as the Deathly Hallows Part 2.' The film has offered 535,000 tickets, 20,000 greater than 'Pirates in the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.' In the event you haven't seen 'Headhunters' yet, don't get worried: Summit Entertainment, the studio that introduced you 'Twilight,' has acquired the remake rights.
