The Film of Sate Gagak's Wealth Draws Enthusiasm, Reaches 369 Screens in Its Opening Week

Kapanlagi.com - The Indonesian horror comedy film PESUGIHAN SATE GAGAK has recorded a new achievement after officially premiering on Thursday, November 13, 2025. Directed by Etienne Caesar and Dono Pradana, it sparked public curiosity thanks to its unique and bold concept. The increasing audience response has made this film produced by Cahaya Pictures one of the biggest surprises among the year-end releases.

From the start of its campaign, the film has attracted attention for combining two genres that are rarely blended so extremely: horror and absurd comedy. The story about three friends who dare to engage in witchcraft by selling crow satay to supernatural beings is considered refreshing amidst the dominance of horror films themed around urban legends. This unusual premise seems to have successfully piqued public interest.

The enthusiasm was then visibly reflected in the official posts showing a surge in the number of screens. In the promotional material, a striking tagline reads "INCREASE SCREENS!!" as a sign of the explosion of audience interest. This post became a strong signal that the film is very well received in various regions.

The published poster features a silly scene from the main cast: Ardit Erwandha, Yono Bakrie, and Benidictus Siregar. The three of them appear in a comedic atmosphere that depicts the chaos resulting from the hasty decisions of each character. The visuals also emphasize the film's identity, which refuses to be confined to conventional horror tropes.

In addition to an entertaining atmosphere, the poster also highlights the film's latest achievement, which is 369 screens and 1291 showtimes. This number marks a significant increase from the first day's screening and is considered a rare achievement for a title with an experimental comedy-horror concept.

The surge in screens reflects high demand, especially from young audiences seeking fresh entertainment.

However, the dynamics on the ground have shown the opposite.

This success is also supported by the social issues raised in the story, such as economic difficulties, online loan debts, and the pressures of wedding costs. All three serve as a backdrop that is easily understood by the audience because it is relevant to everyday life.

The presence of Ardit Erwandha as Anto, Yono Bakrie as Dimas, and Benidictus Siregar as Indra further strengthens the comedic elements of the film. These three comedians successfully bring a dynamic friendship that provokes laughter without eliminating the horror tension within the plot.

3. Increase in Screenings

The increase in screenings has led to this film being referred to as a sleeper hit that was unexpected. In the tight competition of the increasingly diverse Indonesian horror film industry, PESUGIHAN SATE GAGAK has surprisingly surged in the most unexpected way.

For viewers curious about how crow satay can pay off debts while also inviting terror from greedy supernatural beings, this film is still widely showing in national cinema networks this week.
