Jack Neo's Ah Long Pte Ltd has become the biggest Singapore release in Malaysia after raking in RM2.22 million in 12 days.
The comedy drama, revolving around a woman gangster boss played by Fann Wong, broke the RM1.07 million record set by I Not Stupid Too, also directed by Neo, in 2006.
Although it took the fourth place when it opened on March 13 on 31 prints, it defied the usual downwards box office trend and shot to the top spot in its second weekend.
"No Singapore films have achieved such box office in Malaysia with a growing momentum instead of receding in its second week. The film has helped us create a viable market there and is on track to hit RM4 million with seven more prints being added this week," said Daniel Yun, managing director of MediaCorp Raintree Pictures.
