Only One Week Of Screening? Fans Demand Extended Cinema Run For 'Gantung: Musketeer Code'
When a new film is released in cinemas, moviegoers typically have a few weeks, sometimes up to a month, to catch it on the big screen. This window not only gives fans time to watch, but also allows the production company a chance to turn a profit. But what happens when a film's cinema run is cut short? What if it doesn't make enough money? And what about fans who were eager to watch, only to find it's no longer showing at their nearest cinema? Malaysian fans have expressed disappointment after discovering that the latest local film, 'Gantung: Musketeer Code', is no longer available in cinemas. Here's the story: Earlier this week, Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) announced that Wednesday (11th June) would be the final day to catch 'Gantung: Musketeer Code' on the big screen, after just seven days in cinemas. This prompted netizens to plead with the company to extend the film's run, as many were occupied with Hari Raya Haji celebrations when the film first premiered. The film's director, Nadia Mohammad Hatta, also known as Nadia Khan, even took to Twitter to appeal to GSC and TGV Cinemas not to halt the screening. She argued that the film should remain in cinemas for at least two weeks, as it is protected under the 'Skim Wajib Tayang' policy. Much to her disappointment, GSC simply replied: 'Hi, this is the last day, okay?'. For those unfamiliar, 'Skim Wajib Tayang' requires that a film be screened in cinemas for a minimum of two weeks. However, screenings may be moved from a larger hall to a smaller one for various reasons, such as low audience turnout or viewership. Cinema operators are also permitted to withdraw an approved film entirely if the number of viewers falls below 15%. But even if GSC was legally within its rights to stop screening the film, many fans remain upset with the decision. Some criticised the cinema company's dismissive response to the director, while others pointed out that the film's inconvenient release date, coinciding with Hari Raya Haji, was not taken into account. Fans also accused GSC of hypocrisy, pointing out that while the company has often encouraged Malaysians to support local films, it refused to extend the cinema run of 'Gantung: Musketeer Code.' At the time of writing, GSC has yet to respond to demands. Meanwhile, TGV is still screening the film in two outlets, which are at Strand Kota Damansara and Wangsa Walk. Although very limited, at least fans will still have this chance to watch it in cinemas before it's too late! Here's the trailer for the film: Sources: Twitter (1)(2), Finas What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0

If there's one thing to know about the Pahang royal family, it's that they are a lively and friendly bunch. They are also known for their humility when interacting with members of the public, particularly with those whom they have known for many years. Her Majesty Tengku Ampuan Pahang Tunku Azizah has made headlines on numerous occasions for exactly these reasons. Recently, she went viral once again for simply being a loving mother-in-law to her son's wife. Here's the story: During the recent Hari Raya Haji celebrations, the Pahang royal family visited the Tengku Ampuan Afzan Mosque to perform the Eid al-Adha prayers. His Royal Highness the Sultan of Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, attended the prayers alongside Her Majesty Tengku Ampuan Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, and their sons Tengku Hassanal, Tengku Muhammad, and Tengku Ahmad. While they were there for the Raya celebration, a touching moment between family members went viral. A video circulated on TikTok showing the former Queen of Malaysia happily greeting and hugging her daughter-in-law, Tengku Natasya Adnan, who is married to her son, Tengku Muhammad. In the same clip, the two were seen chatting at the mosque and greeting members of the public, with the princess affectionately linking arms with her mother-in-law. The video quickly went viral, with netizens commenting on how fortunate Tengku Natasya is to have a loving and kind mother-in-law like Tunku Azizah. Others expressed joy at seeing the close and warm relationship shared between the two. Hopefully, we'll get to see more sweet and fun interactions in the future.
