Jackie Chan reigns supreme
3 Jan – In Malaysia, the weekend box office for 27 to 29 December 2013 was a great way to end the year for Hong Kong and Hollywood superstar Jackie Chan as his film "Police Story 2013" managed to climb up all the way to the number one spot.
The film beat the heavyweights like "47 Ronin", which fell to the second spot and "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug", which fell in third place.
"Police Story 2013" is a 2013 Chinese-Hong Kong action crime film starring Jackie Chan about a mainland Chinese officer in search of his estranged daughter when he is captured by an unnamed assailant.
In Singapore, however, Keanu Reeves' controversially discussed film "47 Ronin" still topped the charts in Singapore despite the very mixed reviews. It is then followed by "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug", "Walking with Dinosaurs" and "Frozen".
Other new releases in Malaysia last week were "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", "Chikaro", "Tokan", "Make Me Shudder", "12 Years A Slave" and "Mayday: Live In Live".
Other new releases in Singapore last week were "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", "Haute Cuisine", "Thanks for Sharing", "The House Of Magic", "American Hustle", "The Complex" and "Do Not Disturb".
