Where in terms of box office revenue «Klassikokkutulek» is the absolute winner, it ranks third overall for viewer numbers in Estonia after «Ice Age 3», which was watched by 186,682 people, and «Avatar», watched by 194,327 people.
Siim Rohtla, spokesman for the film's distributor VaataFilm, said he is still not able to believe the box office and viewer numbers.

Directed by Rene Vilbre, «Klassikokkutulek» tells the story of three middle aged men going to their high school reunion and the troubles that come with it.
The film was produced by Taska Film.
