KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 \u2014 South Korean director Yeon Sang\u2011ho\u2019s film Colony has officially become Malaysia\u2019s highest\u2011grossing South Korean title and is currently the country\u2019s top\u2011grossing film of 2026.<\/p>\n
According to a post on GSC\u2019s Instagram account, the film has now earned RM23.8 million at the Malaysian box office, with figures still climbing as it continues its strong run.<\/p>\n
It has now surpassed previous record holder Train to Busan, also directed by Yeon, which earned approximately RM21 million locally.<\/p>\n
Despite a wave of new releases from Hollywood and other international markets in recent weeks, the zombie thriller continues to hold its ground and achieve new milestones.<\/p>\n
Strong audience turnout continues nationwide, with many viewers sharing positive reviews.<\/p>\n
The reception for Colony in Malaysia has also been acknowledged by the director and cast, who expressed their appreciation for Malaysian support through a video released earlier this week.<\/p>\n
Starring Jun Ji-hyun, Koo Kyo-hwan, Ji Chang-wook, Shin Hyun-been, Kim Shin-rock and Go Soo, Colony follows a group of survivors trapped inside a building after an unknown infection spreads rapidly.<\/p>\n
Cut off from the outside world, they must fight to survive as the infected mutate into increasingly dangerous forms.<\/p>\n
The film presents a different take on zombies typically seen on screen, with director Yeon\u2019s unique approach inspired by the hive-mind behaviour of ant colonies and the concept of artificial intelligence (AI). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 \u2014 South Korean director Yeon Sang\u2011ho\u2019s film Colony has officially become Malaysia\u2019s highest\u2011grossing South…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":485775,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[93,208902,61,60,3292,13935,270,120742],"class_list":["post-485774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-film-colony","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-kuala-lumpur","tag-malaysia","tag-movies","tag-south-korean"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=485774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/485775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=485774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=485774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=485774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
