Joining the top three are Minions & Monsters and the live-action Moana.This week's results signal a rare shift in the market. Hollywood releases have claimed all three top spots, a notable milestone after Asian cinema dominated much of Malaysia's charts throughout 2026.Despite the Hollywood surge, Asian titles remain resilient. Dear You continues its chart run, while Taiwan's Hold To Death: Hand in Hand and India's Idhayam Murali make their debuts.The trend of high consumption extends to streaming. Agent Kim Reactivated currently leads the Netflix TV series rankings, Reborn Rookie continues its reign on Viu, and Season 5 of Spidey and His Amazing Friends remains a top-watched title on Disney+.Whether you are planning a cinema trip, searching for your next binge-watch, or hunting for new music and books, Malay Mail rounds up the biggest entertainment headlines of the week.Cinema: Top 10 Films (July 9 to July 12)Evil Dead BurnMinions & MonstersMoanaDear YouObsessionToy Story 5Hold To Death: Hand In HandIdhayam MuraliGatta Kusthi 2Badut GendongStreaming: Top 10 TV Series (July 6 to July 12)NetflixAgent Kim Reactivated: Limited SeriesTeach You a Lesson: Limited SeriesMercy For None: Limited SeriesAvatar: The Last Airbender: Season 2Human Vapor: Season 1I Will Find YouAvatar: The Last Airbender: Season 1Good Boys Go to Heaven: Season 1Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation: Season 3The Apartment Job: Limited SeriesViuReborn RookieBidadari Tanpa SyurgaRunning Man (2026)The SeasonAte Kome, I Love YouGBRB: Farm Operation: Go Go FarmUndercover High SchoolTaxi Driver 3Study GroupLove Has FireworksDisney+Spidey and His Amazing Friends: Season 5X-Men ’97: Season 2King & Prince: Our Meet-Up in LAGet Real: Season 1Doctor on the EdgeDescendants: Wicked WonderlandCriminal Minds: Evolution: Season 19The Husband: Season 1Not Suitable for Work: Season 1Abandoned: Season 1Music: Spotify Top 10 (July 8 to July 14)GlobalAriana Grande: hate that I made you love meKaty Perry: The One That Got AwayRaim Laode: Iqro'Bruno Mars: Risk It AllPiche Kota: Bahagia LagiJustin Bieber: Beauty And A Beat (w/ Nicki Minaj)Tulus: Teh HijauIfan Seventeen: Jangan Paksa Rindu: BedaSal Priadi: Ada titik-titik di ujung doaOlivia Rodrigo: drop deadMalayAdira Suhaimi: Sayang Orang SamaAufahanie: ButterflyAlpha: P Ramlee SalomaDato' Sri Siti Nurhaliza, Ade Govinda: Menamakanmu CintaZynakal, Zamir Harith, Mojack Hafiz, Bel Janni: Dalam DiamHael Husaini, Nadeera: PelukMojo: RomancintaNadhif Basalamah, Aziz Harun, Aisha Retno: Kota ini tak sama tanpamuReedzwann: Suarasi Sering SalahAziz Harun: TelepatiBooks: Top 10 of the Week (July 3 to July 9)FictionThe Ocean Would Paint Me Blue: Zoulfa KatouhProject Hail Mary: Andy WeirStrange Houses: UketsuStrange Buildings: UketsuStrange Pictures: UketsuAs Long as the Lemon Trees Grow: Zoulfa KatouhThe Secret of Secrets: Dan BrownThe Correspondent: Virginia EvansBefore I Knew I Loved You: Toshikazu KawaguchiHidden Pictures: Jason RekulakNon-FictionAtomic Habits: James ClearThe Let Them Theory: Mel Robbins & Sawyer RobbinsSurrounded by Idiots: Thomas EriksonWhen I Was a Kid: Cheeming BoeyDark Psychology and Manipulation: William CooperMother Mary Comes to Me: Arundhati RoyThe Art of Thinking Clearly: Rolf DobelliManglish: Malaysian English at Its Wackiest: Lee Su Kim & Stephen J.
