In addition to strengthening its creative output, Astro Shaw is exploring new revenue streams to ensure long-term financial sustainability. These include diversifying into merchandise sales and brand partnerships, alongside traditional box office performance.

“Since Astro Shaw was founded in 1996, we have witnessed the evolution of our films and the industry itself. While some local films do well at the box office, we also face challenges, especially with the rise of social media and OTT platforms changing how audiences engage with content. That’s why we think beyond just box office numbers—exploring new revenue streams like merchandise and brand partnerships. This approach helps us grow financially and ensure our films have a lasting impact,” says Raja Jastina Raja Arshad, Head of Astro Shaw.
