Ah Girls, Go Army, 3 2 1 we are ready…
Get ready for more terrible, catchy songs, because Ah Girls Go Army 2 is coming to theatres soon.
AGGA Has Made $2 Million Despite The Hate
In case you were living under a rock and have no idea what Ah Girls is all about, here’s a recap: the movie explores a “possible near-future” where the local population has decreased so significantly that women will have to join the Army.
The movie predicts what might be Singapore’s first batch of female recruits: “a bunch of Gen Z teens with different backgrounds and education.”
After trials and tribulations, these girls will gradually warm up to the concept of National Service over the course of the movie.
You might be thinking: Oh, okay, that doesn’t sound too bad. How are people reacting to it? Well, watch this video for our cute office cat to explain all the hate this movie is getting:
Despite all the terrible reviews, Ah Girls has managed to capture the hearts of majority of Singaporeans. Or maybe the bad reviews prompted fence-sitters to go watch and judge for themselves.
Whether you watched the movie as a hater or a lover, the film has raked in over $2 million at the Singapore box office.
It turned out to be a hit in other countries too, as it has made 1.5 million ringgit in Malaysia and Brunei as well.
AGGA 2 Hitting Theatres in June
Ah Girls Go Army 2 is set to be released on 16 June 2022.
However, it was originally supposed to be released in March, if it wasn’t for Jack Neo wanting to shoot additional scenes. That means that the movie would have gone from filming to production to theatres in less than three months.
On 20 April, Neo shared that his team had finished the second movie. He revealed that they completed the two movies in 49 days, with the second movie completed on 19 April.
I am once again putting out the theory that Jack Neo’s production team is made up of Sonic the Hedgehog clones.
Neo also shared that they will be offering movie marathons so that viewers can have a recap before watching the second movie. But with the first movie out a mere four months ago… is a recap necessary?
