Only a few weeks after its premiere, Pee MakPhraKanong is now Thailand’s biggest-ever box-office hit. The film, directed by BanjongPisanthanakun, took over 100 million baht on its opening weekend, setting a new Thai record. Its box-office total has now exceeded 500 million baht, meaning that Pee Mak, an updated version of the Mae Nak folk legend, has overtaken Suriyothai, the previous record-holder.
