Several highly anticipated films have officially opened in Malaysian cinemas today. The Tamil action-comedy family drama Vadam, starring Vimal and Natty Subramaniam, has debuted with a classification of 13 and a runtime of 2 hours and 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in the horror genre, the new A24 film Undertone is generating significant buzz as a contender for the scariest film of 2026, with critics praising its disorienting audio-visual style. 

For fans of classic cinema, select theatres in Malaysia have also launched special extended version screenings of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers starting today. Other fresh titles reaching local screens this weekend include the sci-fi drama Bugonia and the Thai action film 4 Tigers. These releases provide a diverse range of options for weekend moviegoers, from large-scale international fantasy to niche psychological horror. 

Looking ahead, fans are already preparing for next week's major arrivals. The sci-fi epic Project Hail Mary, starring Ryan Gosling, has officially set its Malaysian release for 26 March, with IMAX screenings confirmed. Additionally, the Japanese thriller Exit 8—inspired by the viral subway station escape game—is slated to debut on 18 March.
