RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - March 30 has always been an important moment for the film industry in Indonesia. This occasion is not only a time for reflection for those in the film industry, but also a reminder of the long journey Indonesian cinema has taken to reach its current level of development.

Over time, the Indonesian film industry has shown significant growth. Various film genres have emerged, production quality has improved, and the stories presented have become more diverse and relevant to people’s lives. According to the Indonesian Film Censorship Agency website, in the past two years, the number of viewers watching Indonesian films in cinemas has exceeded 80 million.

At the beginning of 2026, the Indonesian film industry made history with a remarkable number of viewers. The dominance of the horror genre is now being challenged by comedy and animated films, which have successfully taken top spots on the list of highest-grossing films of all time.

Based on data as of January 1, 2026, Agak Laen: Menyala Pantiku! has officially been named the highest-grossing Indonesian film of all time. This sequel from the comedy quartet managed to attract more than 10,250,000 viewers in just 36 days of theatrical release.

Here is a list of the five Indonesian films with the highest number of viewers:

• Agak Laen: Menyala Pantiku! (2025): Reached 10,250,000 viewers with a unique premise about four clumsy police officers going undercover in a nursing home to catch criminals.
• Jumbo (2025): An animated film directed by Ryan Adriandhy, attracting 10,233,002 viewers through a touching blend of family drama and fantasy.
• KKN di Desa Penari (2022): Directed by Awi Suryadi, it gained 10,061,033 viewers and became the first horror film to surpass 10 million viewers.
• Agak Laen (2024): The first comedy film from the Agak Laen quartet, successfully drawing 9,127,602 viewers thanks to its relatable everyday humor.
• Warkop DKI Reborn: Jangkrik Bos! Part 1 (2016): Collected 6,858,616 viewers through a modern take on classic legendary comedy.

This achievement proves that Indonesian cinema continues to move forward and adapt to the increasingly dynamic tastes of audiences. The momentum of March 30 further underscores that the long journey of Indonesian cinema is not merely a story of the past, but also a strong foundation for the future.

With growing audience support and continuously improving quality, Indonesian films have great potential to shine even brighter, both domestically and on the international stage.
