The June school holiday blockbusters have emerged in full force, with the legendary Chinese action star Jackie Chan making a comeback to Hollywood at the age of 71, shooting the action film IP 'Karate Kid: Legends.' The movie has performed well in the United States but faced challenges in Mainland China and Hong Kong, surprising many fans. Once the film opened locally, it immediately entered the top ten box office as the third runner-up, demonstrating that Jackie Chan's brand still holds sway locally. With nostalgic fans of the 'Karate Kid' series attending, the film's box office performance received a boost.
Hollywood's maverick director Wes Anderson's latest work, 'The Phoenician Scheme,' garnered attention at the Cannes Film Festival. After its debut at the festival, it attracted curious audiences and fans of Anderson's films.
Additionally, the Malaysian original Malay-language animated film 'Ejen Ali The Movie 2' follows its first installment, which set box office records in Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei six years ago. This sequel also entered the top ten, ranking seventh, with impressive results.
Next week, highly anticipated films include the live-action animation 'How To Train Your Dragon;' 'A Gilded Game' starring superstar Andy Lau; and the Korean superpower comedy 'Hi-Five,' all vying for box office success. There's definitely something to look forward to.
