KUALA LUMPUR, March 28 — Despite controversy over its story changes, CGI reimagining of the Seven Dwarfs, and the lead actress’s criticism of the original, Snow White has managed to secure the No. 2 spot at Malaysia’s box office. However, it couldn’t topple Ne Zha 2, which continues to dominate at No. 1.
For Harry Potter fans, Goblet of Fire is now screening in cinemas, while those in the mood for clever storytelling should check out the British crime drama Adolescence on Netflix.
