Some films garnered commercial success by riding on the nostalgia and longing of the currently adult Generation-X segment for the shows broadcast regularly on television during their teenage days in the 1990s.īy tapping into nostalgia, films like Wiro Sableng 212 followed the series of novels of the same name by Bastian Tito and its TV adaptation. “The quality of this year’s films didn’t really improve from last year,” director Joko Anwar told The Jakarta Post, while noting that last year saw a slew of great Indonesian films from Mouly Surya’s Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts to Kamila Andini’s The Seen and Unseen.Įven so, according to Joko, ticket sales rose from last year.Īccording to the film site Film Indonesia, the top five best-selling films of 2018 were Dilan, Suzanna, Bernafas Dalam Kubur (Suzanna, Breathes from the Grave), Danur 2: Maddah, Si Doel the Movie and Asih.
