Indonesian Animation ‘Jumbo’ Breaks Records, Heads for Global Release
'Jumbo' has shattered local box office records, becoming the highest-grossing Indonesian animated film of all time with 1 million admissions.
The Visinema Studios production, which opened on March 31, surpassed the previous record held by “Si Juki The Movie: Panitia Hari Akhir” (2017), which drew 642,312 admissions and remained unbeaten for eight years. They represent love, hope, and trust from the people for our own local stories,” said Anggia Kharisma, producer of “Jumbo.” “Seeing this kind of heartfelt response from Indonesian audiences makes every challenge we’ve faced over the past five years feel incredibly meaningful.” Visinema Group, founded in 2008 by Indonesian filmmaker Angga Dwimas Sasongko, continues to build on its portfolio of successful intellectual properties that includes “Nussa,” “Mencuri Raden Saleh,” and “Keluarga Cemara.”
