The Way, My Way – Bill Bennett’s charming and captivating Camino film THE WAY, MY WAY has now surpassed $2 million at the Australian and New Zealand Box Office.
THE WAY, MY WAY opened in cinemas on 16th May 2024 and continues to be the surprise Australian hit film of the year, with consistently strong box office results as it marches into its 7th week in cinemas. The film is currently the 3rd highest grossing Australian film of 2024.
Director Bill Bennett said:
“This film is extremely personal to me and so seeing how it has connected with audiences in such a deep and meaningful way is obviously extremely gratifying. Jennifer and I have especially loved our Q&A tour of Australia and meeting fellow movie lovers in some of the best cinemas in the country. The whole experience has been quite magical.”
Marc Wooldridge, Managing Director for Maslow Entertainment said:
“Bill has brilliantly brought his Camino experience to the big screen, and it will remain exclusively available in cinemas for many more weeks to come. We’re delighted for all involved and invite people to come back and see it again or experience it for the first time.”
THE WAY, MY WAY is based on Bill Bennett’s best-selling book of the same name and stars Chris Haywood (Muriel’s Wedding, Kiss or Kill), Jennifer Cluff (Kiss or Kill, In a Savage Land), Pia Thunderbolt (Three Thousand Years of Longing, Here Out West), and Laura Lakshmi (TV’s Colin from Accounts, Home and Away).
It tells the true story of a stubborn, self-centered Australian man who decides to walk the famed 800-kilometre-long Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route through Spain, and the people he meets along the way that change his life forever, one step at a time.
The Camino de Santiago is renowned throughout the world and is a network of paths that lead to the tomb of St James in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, in the northwest of Spain.
It has become a spiritual experience for many of those that make the journey – around 6 million people a year walk at least some of the Camino, with a significant annual growth rate expected in the years to come.
THE WAY, MY WAY was released in cinemas by Maslow Entertainment on May 16, 2024. For more information on the film, please visit www.thewaymywaymovie.com.
