KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 — Local horror Malam Terlarang has taken the Malaysian box office by storm, debuting at No. 1 — and it’s no surprise, with the film raking in an impressive RM4 million in its first week.
Audiences nationwide have praised its chilling blend of Nusantara folklore and modern horror, calling it a fresh and uniquely local take on the genre.
In second place is G-Dragon In Cinema (Übermensch), a concert documentary showcasing electrifying performances from his 2025 Übermensch world tour while other titles still lighting up cinemas include Tron: Ares, Dude, and Death Whisperer 3, along with horror gems such as Kitab Sijjin Dan Illiyyin and Sukma.
Beyond the big screen, streaming platforms are buzzing with new series perfect for your weekend binge — including Netflix’s Physical: Asia: Season 1, Viu’s GBRB: Joy Pops Laugh Pops, and Disney+’s The Manipulated.
Don’t forget the top music hits currently streaming, or the latest book releases — ideal if you want to take a break from the screen.
