## Summary

The Croatian-Serbian comedy *The Wedding* has become a major regional box-office hit, drawing more than 2.5 million spectators and taking over $20 million since its January release. Its story of a Croatian businessman's daughter and her Serbian boyfriend, whose pregnancy brings their nationalist parents into conflict, uses humour to explore regional differences, nationalism and political corruption.

Shot in 21 days on a budget of one million euros, the film has broken audience records in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia, and also succeeded in Slovenia. In Croatia, it attracted over 800,000 spectators, surpassing *Titanic*’s long-standing record of about 500,000 admissions; the filmmakers say securing state funding took seven years, and they are now fielding interest in a remake and discussing a sequel.
