KUALA LUMPUR: The action-comedy sequel Polis Evo 3 grossed an impressive RM16 million in ticket sales in just four days of its release in cinemas across Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore.

The film, directed by Syafiq Yusof, has positioned it as the highest grossing film in its opening week post-pandemic, surpassing the record previously held by Mat Kilau: Kebangkitan Pahlawan.

Mat Kilau: Kebangkitan Pahlawan, directed by Syamsul Yusof, grossed RM12.2 million in ticket sales during its initial four-day run.

The success of Polis Evo 3 in such a short span of time signifies the continued support of local film enthusiasts and their desire for high-quality productions, says Raja Jastina Raja Arshad, the Executive Producer of Polis Evo 3 and Head of Astro Shaw and Malay Nusantara Business.

"Alhamdulillah, we are grateful for this incredible success, which demonstrates the audience's trust in our local films and their preference for quality productions. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone. Your unwavering support is the lifeblood that keeps the Malaysian film industry thriving and on par with international productions."

Raja Jastina added that the achievement of Polis Evo 3 serves as a testament to the collaborative efforts of Skop Productions, TGV Pictures, media partners, and cinema operators who played a significant role in contributing to the film's success.

She hopes that with the ongoing school holiday season, more moviegoers will seize the opportunity to watch Polis Evo 3 in theaters.

Polis Evo 3 features a star-studded cast including Zizan Razak, Shaheizy Sam, Sharnaaz Ahmad, Nora Danish, Syafiq Kyle, Farali Khan, Douglas Lim, Fauzi Nawawi, Fezrul Khan, Eyka Farhana, and many more.
