nimated movie Jumbo claimed the top spot as the highest-ticket-selling Indonesian movie of all time on Sunday, selling around 10.07 million tickets within its 63-day theater run, according to local box office analyst Cinepoint.

Jumbo broke the record previously held by 2022 horror movie KKN di Desa Penari (KKN: Curse of the Dancing Village), which sold some 12,000 tickets fewer than Jumbo.

Jumbo had earned over Rp 402 billion (US$24.7 million) as of Sunday, said Cinepoint. This milestone also extends its record as the highest-grossing Southeast Asian animation of all time.

Jumbo is behind only Marvel Studios’ giga-hit Avengers: Endgame, which has sold almost 11 million tickets in the country.

But Jumbo’s sales are expected to rise as it still has long showtimes.
