KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 2 ― Live-action movie, Upin Ipin Jeng Jeng Jeng had once again become a phenomenon by making around RM3 million nationwide after only playing in cinemas for four days.

The CEO also added that this is the first time that KRU Studios had partnered with Les Copaque in producing an animated film.
