KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 21 — Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, the long-awaited third instalment of the franchise, has burst back into cinemas and straight to No. 1 at the local box office.

Its comeback – the first since 2016 – arrives with sharper storytelling and even another sequel already lined up.

Holding steady in second is local sensation Malam Terlarang, now past the RM10 million mark, while Banduan stays firm in third.

Cinemas may be buzzing, but streaming is no slouch either; Last Samurai Standing: Season 1 is earning strong reviews on Netflix, Love’s Ambition remains Viu’s addictive favourite, and Disney+’s The Manipulated is still sparking chatter among K-drama fans.

Music-wise, global hits continue to dominate Spotify – from Huntr/X’s Golden to Taylor Swift’s The Fate of Ophelia – and MPH’s latest book charts ensure there’s no shortage of page-turners for the weekend.

Whether you’re catching a film, settling in for a binge, looping chart-toppers or diving into a good novel, Malay Mail’s Top 10 has you covered.
