KUALA LUMPUR, March 27 — Pixar’s Hoppers continues to top the charts, strengthening its dominance and marking a strong start for animated titles in 2026.

This week’s list sees several new entries making waves, including the Malaysia–Singapore–Thailand film Kong Tao, which climbs to second place after grossing RM3 million.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge follows closely, praised for its adrenaline-fuelled, patriotically charged action.

The uplifting space tale Project Hail Mary, starring Ryan Gosling, and Sony’s latest offering Goat provide more laid-back, entertaining options.

As March nears its end, there is plenty to catch both in cinemas and on streaming platforms.

The live-action second season of One Piece, Walid on Viu, and titles like Medalist and Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+ are among the highlights.

From big-screen hits to binge-worthy series, as well as music and books, Malay Mail rounds up the must-check-out entertainment picks of the week.
