KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 — The hunt is on at the local box office, with Predator: Badlands roaring to the No. 1 spot this week, with director Dan Trachtenberg steering the iconic franchise back to its primal roots, reigniting excitement among fans.

But the international hunter isn’t the only one making waves. Two Malaysian films are holding strong, with Malam Terlarang and the highly-anticipated Banduan – a local adaptation of the 2019 Tamil blockbuster Kaithi – claiming the second and third spots, respectively.
