 [Local Entertainment] WHAT! THE HEIST is quickly climbing the list of the top ten Chinese films of all time in Box Office Results!


Jack Lim promises to treat fans to e-Angpows with an RM6.5 million box-office haul.

Kuala Lumpur, February 2023 - Local Chinese New Year action comedy WHAT! THE HEIST broke box-office records both here and across the border, grossing over RM4.3 million and S$400,000, bringing its total box-office to RM5.5 million as of the 9th day of the Lunar New Year. For the past four years, it has surpassed the RM4 million box-office mark for a local Chinese production. It is now ranked 11th among the top ten Malaysian Chinese films.

 

The film, which has been well received by local audiences, began on a high note and received rave reviews. Nonetheless, its outstanding box-office results drew criticism, which both director Matt Lai and producer Jack Lim initially dismissed as a matter of audience preference. However, these haters appeared to be on a rampage across various platforms, attempting to persuade audiences not to support WHAT! THE HEIST.

 

The film's director was troubled by this, but he is relieved that it was only a small group, and the majority of the audience enjoyed the film. Director Matt Lai believes that the market is made up of different audiences with different tastes. A niche group with a preference does not have to deprive others of their choice.  Despite this, WHAT! THE HEIST has managed to maintain its position as one of the top three Chinese New Year films this year.

 

According to sources at The National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS), WHAT! THE HEIST, which is currently ranked 11th in Malaysia's all-time box office list for Malaysian Chinese films, is rapidly approaching the Top 10 list. It is an attainable goal for the film's creators, and producer Jack Lim promises to reward fans with e-Angpows once the film earns RM6.5 million in total box office.

 

《发财联盟》直逼大马史上十大本土中文电影票房榜

林德荣扬言破650万就派发电子红包给粉丝

 大马贺岁片《发财联盟》在马新开画以来票房走势凌厉,截至年初9大马票房超过 430万马币,新加坡也接近400千新币,总票房直逼550万马币。同时也是马来西亚4年以来唯一突破400万马币的本土中文电影。现暂居本土中文电影史上票房榜第十一位。

 


《发财联盟》在深受观众欢迎的同时,却看见了两极化的口碑。刚开始的时候,大部分的留言都是非常好看,好笑。但票房走势升高后却涌入一些负面的酸民留言。导演赖健雄及监制林德荣刚开始也虚心接受批评,认为无法满足所有的观众。但某些社交平台的用户不甘罢休,一直在不同的平台煽动观众不要去看《发财联盟》。原本导演觉得非常不开心,但不断收到的好评还是占了绝大部分,最后放下心结认为只要普罗大众喜欢就好了。

 

导演赖健雄认为市场上有不同的电影种类供于不同类型的观众,大家可各随意选择自己喜欢的电影。但一群小圈子的观众却认为他们的观点就是等于全世界,否定了其他观众的口味。导演说《发财联盟》都上了十多天了,排名还是站稳3强证明了还是有很多观众觉得是一部好看的电影。

 


赖健雄说,根据FINAS 大马电影局的资料仓库《发财联盟》目前只差少许就会打入马来西亚十大中文电影票房纪录,这也是《发财联盟》接下来重点目标。为此,监制林德荣也做出承诺如果马新总票房超过650万马币就派发电子红包给粉丝以表感谢。
