Premiering on January 25, 2018, the feature film "Dilan 1990" captivated the Indonesian public. Adapted from a novel by Pidi Baiq, the film attracted 6.08 million viewers. This is only about 773,000 viewers short of the highest-grossing film of 2016, "Warkop DKI Reborn: Jangkrik Bos Part 1."
Production of this teenage romance film, set in Bandung in 1990, cost Rp 11 billion. The initial target was 3 million viewers. However, unexpectedly, within just one month of its theatrical release, the film attracted over 6 million viewers.
With this achievement, the film starring Iqbaal Ramadhan and Vanesha Prescilla has the potential to match the success of "Warkop DKI Reborn: Jangkrik Bos Part 1," or even surpass the record of this comedy remake starring Abimana Aryasatya, Vino G. Bastian, and Tora Sudiro, which attracted 6.86 million viewers in 2016. The list of Indonesia's highest-grossing films over the past 12 years is dominated by films released in 2016 and 2017.
