JAKARTA — In just three weeks after its March 31 release, the locally produced “Jumbo” unseated Disney’s “Frozen II” as the most-watched animated movie ever in Indonesian cinemas.
Two months later, “Jumbo” became the No. 2 most-viewed film in Indonesian theaters of all time, behind only “Avengers: Endgame,” a 2019 Hollywood production. It toppled previous runner-up “KKN di Desa Penari,” an Indonesian horror movie released in 2022.
