JAKARTA — Indonesian comedy-horror film Sekawan Limo 2: Gunung Klawih made an explosive debut at the box office, attracting an impressive 212,469 viewers on its very first day in theaters. The achievement marks the highest opening day attendance for any Indonesian film released in 2026 so far.

Produced by Starvision, Skak Studios, and Legacy Pictures, the sequel quickly became the top choice for audiences during the Iduladha holiday season. Directed by Bayu Skak and produced by Chand Parwez Servia, the film successfully continued the momentum built by the first Sekawan Limo movie released in 2024.

The opening day numbers are especially remarkable because they more than doubled the debut performance of the original film, which previously earned just over 100,000 viewers on its first day.

A Sequel That Audiences Were Waiting For

Following the success of the first movie, anticipation for Sekawan Limo 2: Gunung Klawih had been growing for months. Fans were eager to reunite with the beloved characters while discovering a story that promises bigger conflicts, stronger emotions, and even more entertaining moments.

Producer Chand Parwez Servia explained that the film carries an important life message beneath its humor and horror elements.“There is a very important message in Sekawan Limo 2: Gunung Klawih: in life, we should never take shortcuts because every choice comes with consequences and risks. This is a family film that will entertain audiences. Thank you for welcoming the latest work from Starvision, Skak Studios, and Legacy Pictures with such enthusiasm,” he said.

Director Bayu Skak also admitted he was optimistic about the film’s strong reception. According to him, the overwhelming crowd on opening day proved that audiences were deeply curious about the continuation of the story.“It’s proven by how many people watched it on the first day. The excitement from audiences who enjoyed the first Sekawan Limo naturally made them curious about the sequel. This time, we also offer entertainment with more mature story conflicts,” said Bayu Skak, who also reprises his role as Bagas in the film.

Bigger Story, Bigger Emotions

While the first Sekawan Limo successfully blended comedy, friendship, and local horror elements, the sequel reportedly raises the stakes with a more emotionally complex storyline. Gunung Klawih not only delivers laughs and suspense but also explores themes of responsibility, consequences, and personal choices.

The movie continues to combine Bayu Skak’s signature East Javanese humor with supernatural mystery, creating a unique cinematic experience that feels both entertaining and relatable for Indonesian audiences.

Its success also highlights the growing popularity of local films that embrace regional culture while presenting stories with universal appeal.
