AI Summary
The Malaysian superhero film, Keluang Man, has only grossed RM2.3 million after 18 days in cinemas, falling short of expectations. Despite being under the Mandatory Screening Scheme and produced by Astro Shaw, the film's performance pales in comparison to the company's previous box office successes. Finas reported only 141,000 viewers. While other local animated films like Ejen Ali The Movie 2 continue to break records, Keluang Man's underperformance has disappointed many in the industry. Astro Shaw's head, Raja Jastina Raja Arshad, emphasized that the project's focus was on paving the way for local superhero films, not solely on box office numbers. Meanwhile, Gantung: Musketeer Code was pulled from some cinemas early, grossing only RM117,000. Industry observers suggest Keluang Man could still improve with enhanced promotion and extended screening.
