Method & notes
The leading 2026 local films mostly overlap with the box-office ranking, but audience gives PulseKita a separate measure of cultural reach.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSAudience reach, separate from box-office gross.
PulseKita transcribes FINAS Wajib Tayang audience counts for the same leading 2026 titles used in the box-office snapshot, then ranks them by reported viewers. This is a current snapshot and does not reconstruct audience accumulation over time.
- FINAS reports 6,099,265 total viewers across the 2026 Wajib Tayang programme in the current source snapshot.
- Some films in the 2026 table were still screening when the source snapshot was captured, so their audience counts can continue to change.
- Audience count and box-office gross are related but not identical measures.
