KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 — Superman makes a strong debut in this week's rankings but stops just short of the top spot, landing at No. 2. Meanwhile, Jurassic World: Rebirth continues its box office domination, holding firm at No. 1.
South Korean content is also lighting up the big screen, with fans nationwide heading to cinemas to relive epic K-pop concert experiences like ENHYPEN World Tour [FATE] and SEVENTEEN [Be The Sun].
Also joining the lineup is the much-anticipated horror flick Ghost Train, directed by Tak Se-woong, which has crept into cinemas across the country and is picking up eerie momentum.
Whether you're in the mood for big-screen blockbusters, gripping dramas, chart-topping tunes, or a great weekend read, there's something for everyone — and Malay Mail's top picks have you covered.
