KUALA LUMPUR, May 28 \u2014 South Korean horror film Colony has grossed RM10.9 million in Malaysia within six days of release.<\/p>\n
The film is the latest work by Yeon Sang-ho, the filmmaker behind Train to Busan and Hellbound.<\/p>\n
A special video message was also posted on Golden Screen Cinemas\u2019 (GSC) Instagram, where Yeon thanked fans nationwide for their support.<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard that Colony has surpassed RM10 million at the Malaysian box office, and I am truly grateful and happy that so many people are enjoying the film together,\u201d he said in the video.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease continue to show Colony your love and support,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Malaysia quickly emerged as one of the film\u2019s strongest early markets after becoming the first South-east Asian country to officially screen it.<\/p>\n
After a debut of RM1.4 million, the film\u2019s collection rose to RM3.3 million within three days, before climbing further to RM5.75 million shortly after.<\/p>\n
The film\u2019s reception in South Korea has also been strong, surpassing two million admissions there faster than any other 2026 release so far.<\/p>\n
Starring Jun Ji-hyun, Koo Kyo-hwan, Ji Chang-wook, Shin Hyun-been, Kim Shin-rok and Go Soo, Colony follows survivors trapped inside a sealed skyscraper after a mysterious infection spirals out of control.<\/p>\n
Cut off from the outside world, they are forced into a brutal fight against infected humans who continuously mutate into increasingly dangerous forms, delivering Yeon\u2019s signature social horror style with a chaotic body-horror edge.<\/p>\n
Reviews have been largely positive, with viewers commenting on GSC\u2019s Instagram post to describe the film as \u201ctwo hours worth it\u201d.<\/p>\n
Another viewer gave it a \u201c10,000\/1000 rating\u201d, adding that the two hours were far from wasted.<\/p>\n
