Jack Neo & Mark Lee celebrate "Ah Long"


The team behind "Ah Long" drink to their success
4 Apr - Jack Neo's "Ah Long Pte Ltd" has become the biggest Singapore release in Malaysia after raking an approximate RM3.4million in box office takings since it premiered less than a month ago. It has to date tripled Neo's previous record of "I Not Stupid Too" (RM1.07m) in 2006. The movie opened at No.4 on the local charts when it was released on 12 March 2008 and surprised many by shooting to the top in its second weekend, a development that is not consistent with the usual downward trend of movies releasing. The Hokkien comedy is still playing strong at almost 40 locations nationwide.

I am already starting work on a sequel! It will feature some new faces but I will also retain a few of the original cast".

Director Jack Neo is in town, along with his leading actor Mark Lee, for a planned meet-the-fans session. They will be at GSC Mid Valley at 6.30pm, Cathay Cineplex Cineleisure Damansara at 8.15pm and TGV Metroprima Kepong at 9.15pm today. Fans are welcome to bring their autrograph books and cameras.
