KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 5 — A decade after the original film — celebrated for portraying a world unlike other animal-anthropomorphic movies and even winning an Oscar in 2017 — Zootopia 2 has finally arrived in cinemas.

The sequel is earning strong reviews and has already broken multiple records during Thanksgiving weekend.

Titles like Wicked: For Good and Now You See Me: Now You Don’t continue to draw crowds, while local films Malam Terlarang and Banduan remain in the top 10 list.

Still, if you haven’t noticed, streaming platforms are stealing the spotlight globally as December begins.

Highlights range from the heavily promoted first volume of Stranger Things 5, which is flooding social media, to Viu’s local hit Saat Aku Tahu sparking nationwide discussion, and Disney+’s I Am Boxer, praised for its raw, intense storytelling and physical drama.

Looking to fill your quiet weekend with entertainment? Malay Mail has you covered with the top 10 trending picks — from films and series to music, or even a good book you can pick up at MPH.
