Singapore and Malaysia Box Office Performance
The reported Singapore lifetime gross was S$7.62 million, including S$2.83 million during the opening four days. In Malaysia, a reported milestone was RM3.63 million over the first two weeks. The Malaysia figure is in Malaysian ringgit and should not be directly added to Singapore-dollar totals. The S$1.40 million overseas figure in the Financial Explorer is strictly an illustrative modeling assumption, not a documented final overseas collection.
Production Budget and Cost Structure
A S$2.85 million production budget has been published for the film. BoxOfficeX models S$1.05 million for production operations, S$460,000 for post-production, S$860,000 for cast and key crew, and S$480,000 for other production and contingency. These four figures sum to S$2.85 million and are illustrative allocations, not disclosed expense accounts. An additional S$650,000 illustrative marketing budget brings modeled project costs to S$3.50 million.
Cast and Director Remuneration Scenario
The Financial Explorer includes hypothetical remuneration for Jack Neo, Joshua Tan, Wang Weiliang, Maxi Lim, Tosh Zhang, Charlie Goh, Wesley Wong and supporting performers and crew. The modeled combined remuneration is S$860,000. These figures are not reported personal salaries and are already included in the S$2.85 million production cost, so they must not be added again.
BoxOfficeX Revenue and Profit Scenario
Illustrative financial model only: Singapore theatrical gross S$7.62m plus hypothetical overseas gross S$1.40m produces modeled theatrical gross of S$9.02m. After assumed cinema and distribution deductions of S$4.06m, modeled producer theatrical receipts are S$4.96m. Hypothetical OTT, television and music licensing adds S$0.98m, while merchandise and licensing adds S$0.12m, resulting in S$6.06m modeled producer revenue. Subtracting S$3.50m in production and marketing costs yields S$2.56m illustrative profit before tax and financing. These calculations do not represent audited producer accounts.
