Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Kinda Laen continued its dominance on the big screen by reaching 5 million viewers. This achievement was obtained following Agak Laen screened for 15 days in cinemas.
Imaginari as the comedy film production studio reported that Agak Laen’s audience figures reached more than 5 million as of Friday (16/2) at 12.00 WIB.
“Until 12.00 WIB, 5,000,000++ viewers are enough, haven’t they given Naomi and Bene a wedding at the palace?” wrote the Imaginari account announcement which took references from the film.
This achievement strengthens Rather Laen’s position as the highest-grossing 2024 film so far. This film, directed by Muhadkly Acho, surpasses Ancika: He Who is With Me 1995.
Because, Ancika stopped at 1.2 million viewers from when it aired on January 11 2024 until a few weeks later.
The acquisition of 5 million viewers also made Agak Laen even more soaring in the ranking of the best-selling Indonesian films of all time.
After entering the top 10, the comedy film is now in seventh place. Laen is somewhat able to replace Sewu Dino (2024), Laskar Pelangi (2008), and Habibie & Ainun (2012) which previously filled ranks 7 to 10.
If you can maintain the trend in the number of viewers, it is possible that the top five positions can be achieved by Rather Laen in the next few days.
Rather Laen also has the opportunity to maintain the top ranking of the best-selling Indonesian films in 2024 with this achievement. Gaining 5 million viewers is an impressive achievement that is difficult to match, even though it is only the beginning of the year.
Agak Laen’s main competitors at the top of the highest grossing films this year are likely to come from two well-known horror titles that will be released in cinemas in the next few months.
Siksa Kubur is one of the tough challengers because it marks Joko Anwar’s comeback. KKN in Penari Village, which became the best-selling film of all time, also continues through the spinoff Badarawuhi in Penari Village which will be broadcast in 2024.
Rather Laen tells the story of Bene (Bene Dion), Boris (Boris Bokir), Jegel (Indra Jegel), and Oki (Oki Rengga) who are four friends who have been friends for a long time.
They manage a haunted house at a night market, including being ghosts in the attraction.
Their business initially failed because visitors did not feel adrenaline or fear when entering the haunted house. They then renovated the ride to make it even scarier.
However, following being renovated, the haunted house actually claimed lives. The four friends then conspired to hide the death even though they were haunted by a wandering spirit.
