THE WARLORDS collecting S$1million in 5 days

You want to know why Andy is so cheerful?

Because his latest masterpiece, "The Warlords" directed by Peter Chan has now grossed over $1 million in Singapore, barely 5 days in the local cinemas.

The Warlords has continued to show strength after its stellar weekend opening and looks set to hit beyond the $2 million mark for its release in Singapore. The star-studded mega blockbuster also dominated the theatres in both Hong Kong and China, delivering stunning results at the Box Office.

HK cinema will never die, just throw in a mega cast, a solid script and a genuine production and audience will definitely buy a ticket to support it on the big screen. So how did that nonsensical talk about piracy looting HK cinema came about?
