MD Entertainment will release a sequel to its 2025 horror hit “Pabrik Gula” in early 2028, and plans to schedule three IMAX films for 2027, the company’s head of content licensing and global business, Astrid Wienardi, said at Taiwan Creative Content Fest in Taipei. Wienardi also outlined MD’s strategy for tying its film and series library to broadcast and streaming. The studio took control of free-to-air channel NET TV in a deal worth up to $105 million and has investment from Korea’s SBS. “Pabrik Gula” drew more than 5 million tickets in Indonesia before expanding across several countries. MD has over 200 features and expects 12 to 13 releases in 2027, led by horror.
