PETALING JAYA: Local film director Chiu Keng Guan has not lost his Midas touch when it comes to Chinese New Year movies. His pre­vious movies Woohoo! (2010) and Great Day (2012) were the highest grossing local Chinese films of their respective years.

This year’s The Journey looks to continue that trend, judging from the box-office receipts for its first two weeks of release.
