KUALA LUMPUR, July 25 — Superman still can’t seem to punch its way to the top of the local box office, even two weeks after its release, as Jurassic World: Rebirth continues to dominate at No.1.

This week’s chart also marks the return of familiar classics, such as the slasher flick I Know What You Did Last Summer, which makes a comeback with a long-awaited legacy sequel, while the Smurfs receive a fresh reboot for a new generation.

July has been packed with big-screen blockbusters — some films smashing expectations, others simply riding the hype — but there’s no denying it’s been a brilliant month for cinema lovers.

If your weekend plans are looking a little flat, don’t worry — from the latest cinema releases to must-watch series on Netflix, Viu, and Disney+ Hotstar, along with trending songs and best-selling books, there’s plenty to keep you entertained, and as always, Malay Mail has your weekend covered.
