Jakarta | AswinNews.com – The animated film by the nation’s children, “JUMBO”, has officially won the title of the best-selling Indonesian film of all time after successfully reaching more than 10 million viewers in just 60 days of screening in national cinema networks. This achievement surpasses the previous record held by “KKN di Desa Penari” (2022) which reached a similar figure in more than 90 days of screening.
“JUMBO”, produced by Visinema Studios, is a family animated film directed by Ryan Adriandhy and produced by Anggia Kharisma and Novia Puspa Sari. This film has accompanied Indonesian families from the momentum of Eid al-Fitr until the Eid al-Adha, making it not only a commercial success, but also a part of the collective memory of the community.
“This achievement would not have been possible without the extraordinary support of Indonesian audiences and families. This is a new history, not only for Indonesian films, but also for our animation industry,” said Herry B. Salim, CEO of Visinema Studios.
More than just a number, “JUMBO” also set a record as the highest-grossing Southeast Asian animated film, even surpassing the audience of several Hollywood animated films that aired in Indonesia during the long holiday season.
Director Ryan Adriandhy also expressed his emotion over this achievement.
“A great blessing for us. This is the result of hard work, prayers, and support from the audience. Happy to be able to create history together, and may ‘JUMBO’ live long in your hearts,” said Ryan.
Encourage Optimism in the Indonesian Animation Industry
The success of “JUMBO” brings a breath of fresh air to the Indonesian animation industry which has not had much place in the domestic market. The audience’s trust and commercial achievements open up great opportunities for local creators to continue working and for investors to support domestic animation projects.
“We always believe that good work will find its place. This can also be a core memory that shapes the generation of Indonesian children and teenagers,” added Herry.
Visinema Studios hopes that this success will be the first step towards the growth of a healthier and more competitive animation ecosystem, as well as proof that local films, especially animation, can become prima donnas in their own country.
Watch “JUMBO” in theaters and be a part of Indonesian film history!
