KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 28 — Anticipation for the sequel to Wicked had been building long before its release — and while critics responded less enthusiastically compared to its predecessor, it has nonetheless sparked nationwide conversation.

Adapting the second act of the 2003 Wicked stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman — loosely inspired by Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel, itself a reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz — Wicked: For Good debuted to positive reviews and strong local box office results.

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t slips into the No. 2 spot, while local titles Malam Terlarang and Banduan continue to hold their ground at No. 3 and No. 4.

You can wrap up November with a weekend trip to the cinema, or stay in and dive into an exciting line-up of series on your favourite OTT platforms such as Netflix, Viu, or Disney+.

If music is more your vibe, fire up Spotify for fresh tracks — or pick up a new read at MPH like Jiwa’s Kaisar.

Whether you’re planning a movie night, starting a streaming marathon, looping your favourite songs, or settling down with a good book, Malay Mail has you covered with its Top 10 picks on what’s trending now.
