KUALA LUMPUR: Heist action film ''The Experts'' garnered RM10 million at the box office within 10 days of screening since May 23.

The executive producer of The Experts and also the head of Astro Shaw, Raja Jastina Raja Arshad, said the success was the result of team work and the strong support from the audience who believe in local works.

"Alhamdulillah, we are very grateful for the extraordinary reception received by The Experts. We hope The Experts continues to win the hearts of the audience and strengthen the position of Malaysian films in competing with international films," she said in a statement today.

The film depicts a family of five siblings who had long abandoned their robbery activities but reunite due to a threat.

They receive orders from the most dangerous gangster to carry out one more high-risk, major heist.

In the meantime, they are still haunted by old grudges from family tragedies and past misdeeds.
