Filem yang dihasilkan dengan kos RM4.7 juta itu hanya menarik kutipan RM930,000 selepas 25 hari di pawagam, menurut laman Perbadanan Kemajuan Filem Nasional Malaysia (Finas).
Satu lagi filem yang turut mula ditayangkan pada 29 Ogos, 'KL Zombie' berjaya mengutip sejumlah RM2.93 juta dalam tempoh sama.
'KL Zombie' dihasilkan dengan kos RM1.8 juta, kurang daripada separuh kos produksi 'Tanda Putera' dan masih ditayangkan di pawagam.
'Tanda Putera' yang merakam persahabatan di antara perdan menteri waktu itu Tun Abdul Razak Hussein dan timbalannya Tun Ismail Abdul Rahman dalam latar peristiwa 13 Mei 1969 itu dikritik kerana memaparkan perisitiwa sejarah dengan tidak jujur.
Filem tersebut tetap mengalami kerugian walau dipromosi oleh kumpulan pendesak nasionalis, yang turut menggesa akan filem berkenaan diwajibkan tayangan di sekolah dan universiti.
Filem oleh Persona Pictures Sdn Bhd dihasilkan dengan geran RM4.2 juta dari Finas.
Menurut laman 'Tanda Putera' di Facebook, filem berkenaan akan ditayangkan di luar pawagam melalui tempahan khas, yang dijangka akan memberi tambahan kutipan RM570,000.-malaysiakini
Tanda Putera flops as run ends, loses RM3.77mil...
Not even political support of nationalist groups could salvage the controversial film Tanda Putera as it ended screening early this week with a loss of approximately RM3.77 million.
The film made at a cost of RM4.7 million only managed to rake in a miserable RM930,000 after 25 days in the cinemas, according to the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia's (Finas) website.
In
contrast another movie KL Zombie, which like Tanda Putera began
screening on August 29 was able to rake in RM2.93 million in the same
period.KL Zombie costing RM1.8 million, less than half Tanda Putera's production cost, is still screening in the cinemas.
Tanda Putera, which chronicles the friendship of then prime minister Abdul Razak Hussein and his then deputy Ismail Abdul Rahman amid the backdrop of the May 13, 1969 racial riots had been criticised for its dishonest portrayal of historical events.
Nationalist pressure groups, which the film's historical angle favours, had attempted to promote the film, even urging for compulsory screening in schools and varsities, but to no avail.
Federal ministers even rallied behind the film pressuring Penang to back down from the state's advisory not to screen it, or to screen it in public spaces.
The film by Persona Pictures Sdn Bhd had the benefit of a RM4.2 million Finas grant.
Meanwhile, according to Tanda Putera's official Facebook page, the film will now be screened outside cinemas for special bookings.
The page claims that this will generate more than RM570,000 in extra revenue on top of the RM930,000 box office revenue.
"To date, the collection from cinema tickets and special bookings have exceeded RM1.5 million," it said in a posting.-malaysiakini
Okeylah - Having provided with the Govt grant of RM4.2m, Persona Pictures had only spent RM0.5m of own money to make the movie. So, with the ticket sales of RM3.77m, They are laughing to the bank with RM3.27m profit! hidup UMNO! Hidup FINAS!
Gen2 - Public money wasted by UMNO cronies.
Zarhalim B Jamion Halim - Kalau dah filem fitnah siapa nak tengok. Baik tengok cerita upin dan Ipin.
Azman Shah - Macamana filem ni boleh rugi,sedangkan ahli umno saja ada 3 juta orang. Katakan harga tiket seringgit, 3 juta orang pergi tengok filem bahlol ni sudah dapat collection paling bangsat pun RM3 juta.Ahli UMNO pun meluat...
Nusantara Raya - Filem ini bercangah dengan semagat 1Malaysia. kini rakyat di persimpangan gelap yang di cipta kita sendiri. di luar pangung terpapar billborad 1Malaysia di dalam panggung tersemat titik kekauman. ini semua mencabar pertimbangan umum.. jika jualan panadol meningkat ini salah siapa ??
Bahasa Banglasia - Air tada (air tiada), kincin boleh (kencing boleh), vera ta boheh (berak tak boleh), Bangla buat sakan...
