"Way Back Home" Box-Office Results

Star Cinema's "Way Back Home" opened in cinemas last August 17, 2011 against new Hollywood releases ("Conan The Barbarian", "Crazy, Stupid, Love.") and the still strong "The Smurfs" which is now on its 2nd week and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" on its 3rd week.






Graded B by the Cinema Evaluation Board, "Way Back Home" is topbilled by Mara Clara stars Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes.




Now everyone's excited to know which movie led the way last weekend (August 17 to 21).



Did "Way Back Home" successfully defeat the competition? Or will it still be "The Smurfs" which was #1 during its opening weekend (August 10-14)?



No box-office figures yet are available from Box Office Mojo, but SM Megamall, which has 12 cinemas showing 9 different movies, posted on Twitter late last night the 3 movies which dominated the box-office last weekend.



According to its tweet via @SMCinemaMega, the movies which ruled the weekend boxoffice as far as their cinemas are concerned are "Conan The Barbarian", "Way Back Home" and "The Smurfs".



That's most likely the movies' possible ranking when all box-office receipts from different cinemas nationwide are collected and counted.



Last Wednesday, August 17 (opening day), @SMCinemaMega already tweeted that "Conan The Barbarian" was already leading the box-office. "Conan the Barbarian leads the box office on its first day. Way Back Home in close second."



On Wednesday, August 24, four new movies (1 Pinoy, 3 foreign films) will open in cinemas and make the competition even tougher. These movies are "Tween Academy: Class of 2012", "Cars 2", "Final Destination 5" and "One Day".

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 now showing in over 250 theaters in the Philippines

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" is now showing today, July 14, 2011, in at least 250 theaters in the Philippines.

The Philippines is actually one of the 37 lucky countries which are screening the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" one day ahead of its official world premiere, which is tomorrow, July 15, 2011.

And you've heard it right, this final Harry Potter film is being screened now in more than 250 theaters in the Philippines, so expect it to break Philippine box-office records, just like "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon", which had P209.96 million gross revenues on its first 5 days and after 12 days, it now has P341.92 million gross, currently the 3rd all-time top-grossing film in the Philippines.

In Metro Manila alone, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" is showing in 160 theaters. Wow!!!

While it seems favorable for the cinema business in the country, it doesn't sound good for our local producers.

Two Filipino films are also currently being shown, "Temptation Island" which opened last July 6 and "The Adventures of Pureza: Queen of the Riles" which only premiered yesterday, July 13, but these two Pinoy films are being shown nationwide in only 80-90 theaters (40+ for each film) as of today, July 14.

Out of almost 300 theaters, Metro Manila is only allotting 20+ cinemas each for "Temptation Island" and "The Adventures of Pureza: Queen of the Riles".

"In The Name Of Love" posts P89.87 million gross revenues in 2 weeks

"In The Name of Love", produced by Star Cinema and stars Aga Muhlach and Angel Locsin, managed to earn P42.56 million during its 2nd week despite facing a "giant" Hollywood movie in the box-office.

According to Box Office Mojo's latest box-office tally, Walt Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" earned a record-breaking P63.14-million gross revenues for its first weekend in the Philippines, an impressive earning in only 3 days (May 20 to 22, 2011).

It's already the highest opening weekend sales for any movie in the country this 2011, beating the previous record by another Hollywood film "Thor" which had 59.74 during its first weekend.

Among local films, Star Cinema's "Catch Me I'm In Love" posted the highest opening weekend with P52.95-million.

Adding P42.56M to its 1st 5-day gross the previous week (May 11-15), "In The Name Of Love" now has an accumulated 12-day total of P89.87M as of May 22, the 2nd highest-grossing Pinoy film so far this 2011, and definitely will pass the P100M mark.

For its 3rd week, "In The Name of Love" is now facing two giants: "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tide" and the new release "Kung Fu Panda 2".

"Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak!" Box-Office Gross: P21.89 million in 2 days

Star Cinema and M-Zet co-prod "Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak!" has been showing strong in theaters since its opening day last Black Saturday, April 23.

Box Office Mojo tabulation for the period April 20-24 shows that Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak! earned P21.89 million on its first 2 days.

That's quite a huge figure for a 2-day gross, and it's already an indication of a box-office success for the movie.

Probably by now, May 6, the movie, which stars Vic Sotto and Bea Alonzo, is already closer to a hundred million.

Meanwhile, "Catch Me I'm In Love" starring Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Anderson has already wrapped up with a total accumulated gross of P120.21 million after 5 weeks while the Robin Padilla-Mariel Rodriguez movie "Tum: My Pledge of Love" is still struggling in the box-office with only P5.16 million in 3 weeks.

'Catch Me I'm In Love' hits P100 million in the box-office: P108.38M in 3 weeks!

'Catch Me I'm In Love' starring Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Anderson has successfully passed P100-million at the box-office, becoming the first movie to achieve that mark in the Philippine Box Office this 2011.

It's also Gerald Anderson's first ever movie to reach P100M, while it's already Sarah's 3rd. The first two were "A Very Special Love" in 2008 and "You Changed My Life" in 2009 where she starred with John Lloyd Cruz.

It's also the first P100-million-earning movie of director Mae Cruz, who almost achieved it last year for the movie "Babe, I Love You" which had P96.34 million.

Figures from Box Office Mojo's show that Star Cinema/Viva Films' "Catch Me I'm In Love" has earned P108.38 million as of 3rd weekend, April 10, 2011, (19 days since it opened in theaters).

Meanwhile, "Tum: My Pledge of Love", a new movie released by Star Cinema last April 6, only earned P3.71 million on its first 5 days.

Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez movie 'Tum: My Pledge of Love' hit or flop?

Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez 's first ever movie team-up is reportedly not a hit, with only less then P15,000 ticket sales in some SM Cinemas.

That's according to Edgar Cruz in his article posted this morning on Stir.ph.

"Tum: My Pledge of Love" which opened yesterday reportedly earned P8,000 at SM Mega Mall, P11,000 at SM North EDSA, P14,000 at SM Fairview and P14,000 at SM Mall of Asia.

However, the figures coming from Cruz are as of 3PM yesterday and to be positive, more movie-goers might have watched the movie after 3 PM or on the evening.

Let's just wait for the official figures to know how much the movie earned on its opening day.

Probably the movie only earned less than 10 million yesterday, because if it was above P10M, Star Cinema Booking and Distribution would have announced it last night.

Just like what they did for 'Catch Me I'm In Love', Star Cinema announced right away via ABS-CBN's late-night show "SNN" that the movie grossed P15million during its first day.

But a high box-office figure isn't expected, 'coz as of today, April 7, "Tum: My Pledge Of Love" is showing only in less than 50 theaters nationwide, 22 of which are from Metro Manila.

"Tum: My Pledge of Love" which is directed by Robin himself has been Graded B by the Cinema Evaluation Board and Rated GP by the MTRCB.

Let's support this movie guys!

'Catch Me I'm In Love' rules Philippine box-office with P52.95 million in 5 days

'Catch Me I'm In Love', which stars Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Anderson, is the 4th Pinoy film to open this 2011 but it's so far the only certified box-office hit of the year.

Figures for the period March 23-27, 2011 are now available at BoxOfficeMojo.com and posted there is the P52.95 million 'Catch Me I'm In Love' in its first five days.

The Star Cinema-Viva Films co-produced movie topped the Philippine weekend box-office for that period, beating other new releases such as 'Sucker Punch', 'Justin Bieber: Never Say Never' and 'Limitless'.

That's quite a strong turnout because it's higher than the two box-office hits last year ("My Amnesia Girl" with 5-day opening gross of P43.9M and "Here Comes the Bride" with 5-day opening of P42.1M), and it almost surpassed the P53.2M first 5 days earnings of 'Petrang Kabayo'.

And when compared to the 1st 5 days grosses of Sarah's previous films, 'Catch Me I'm In Love' opening weekend almost reached the P58.45 opening weekend of 'A Very Special Love' in 2008, far lower than 'You Changed My Life' with P97.89M in 2009, but it's definitely much higher than last year's 'Hating Kapatid' with P43.1 M.

The movie also fared better than Gerald's films with Kim Chiu shown last year. 'Paano Na Kaya' had P41.4M and 'Till My Heartaches End' earned P33.0M during their first 5 days.

Meanwhile, 'Who's That Girl' which was solely produced by VIVA and released last March 2 has only earned P56.91 million in 4 weeks.

No data available yet from Box Office Mojo for the over-all gross receipts of February releases "Bulong" and "My Valentine Girls". But "Bulong" earned P67.27 million in 4 weeks while "My Valentine Girls" raked in only P44.26 million in 3 weeks.

Who's That Girl? Box-Office Gross: P54.28 million in 3 weeks

Box Office Mojo finally released the box-office figure for Viva Films' "Who's That Girl?" which starred Anne Curtis and Luis Manzano.

The said Wenn Deramas film which opened in theaters last March 2 has earned P54.28 million after 3 weeks or for the period Mar. 2 to 19.

The figure is lower than the P64.28M 3-week gross receipts of Star Cinema's 'Bulong' but it's higher than the P44.26M 3rd week earnings of GMA-Regal co-production 'My Valentine Girls', which were both shown in February.

Last March 23, another Pinoy film ('Catch Me I'm Fallin') has opened in theaters, but no figure yet has been released for its opening week.

'Catch Me, I'm In Love' grosses P15 million on its opening day: Star Cinema

'Catch Me, I'm In Love' reportedly earned P15 million on its opening day last Wednesday, March 23, 2011.

The figure came from Star Cinema's Booking and Distribution Department, and it isn't surprising as the movie really has the box-office potential.

Thanks to the refreshing loveteam of Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Anderson, who unexpectedly brought out great screen chemistry despite coming from two successful loveteams.

Sarah had successful movie team-up with John Lloyd Cruz while Gerald was identified for the longest time with the Kimerald loveteam.

The P15 million opening gross of "Catch Me, I'm In Love" is in the same level with Star Cinema's previous box-office hits "A Love Story" and "In My Life".



"Catch Me, I'm In Love" is directed by Mae Czarina Cruz (the beautiful and brilliant director of "Babe, I Love You") and is graded B by the Cinema Evaluation Board.

John Lloyd Cruz dethroned as Box Office King

John Lloyd Cruz's 3-year streak as Box Office King has ended.

John Lloyd held the title beginning in 2007 for the movie "One More Chance", then the next year for "A Very Special Love" and again in 2009 for "You Changed My Life".

And for 2010, he almost retained the title with two box-office hits under Star Cinema: "Miss You Like Crazy" with Bea Alonzo and "My Amnesia Girl" with Toni Gonzaga.

But neither of the two films surpassed the earnings of the MMFF 2010 entries "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote", which starred Sen. Bong Revilla Jr and Vic Sotto, under GMA-Regal Films and "Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na 'To", starred Ai-Ai delas Alas, produced by Star Cinema.

Guillermo Mendoza Scholarship Foundation has officially announced that the Box Office King title for 2010 will be awarded to Sen. Bong and Vic, while the Box Office Queen is Ai-Ai delas Alas.

It goes to show that they already changed the ruling now. Instead of the December 31 cut-off, they used January 7 as the cut-off in determining who will be crowned with the titles.

(I smell politics here.)

December 31 Cut-Off:
1. My Amnesia Girl P144.8M
2. Miss You Like Crazy P143M
3. Si Agimat At Si Enteng Kabisote P123M (estimated amount only)
4. Here Comes the Bride P116M
5. Petrang Kabayo P115.5M
6. Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na 'To P109M (estimated amount only)

January 7 Cut-Off:
1. Si Agimat At Si Enteng Kabisote P159M
2. Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na 'To P157M
3. My Amnesia Girl P144.8M
4. Miss You Like Crazy P143M
5. Here Comes the Bride P116M
6. Petrang Kabayo P115.4M P115.5M

This news saddens the fans of both John Lloyd and Toni 'coz the movie "My Amnesia Girl" was shown for a month only, from November 24 to December 24, and had to give way to the MMFF 2010 entries which opened on December 25.

"My Amnesia Girl" could have earned more than its final gross if it was extended for 1-2 weeks, just like John Lloyd's previous films which made him a Box Office King.

So maybe next time, if MMFF is coming in a month, don't release a new movie.

With the new ruling, it's most likely that the Box Office King and Queen titles for 2011 and the coming years will go to the stars whose movies were shown for the MMFF.

Shall we expect Ai-Ai, Bong and Vic getting the titles year after year?

After 4 weeks, 'Bulong' now has P67.27 million gross receipts while 'My Valentine Girls' collects P44.26M in 3 weeks

Almost a month since it opened in theaters, Star Cinema's "Bulong" now has a total of P67.27 million, according to figures released by Box
Office Mojo for the week-ending February 27, 2011.

'Bulong' collected only around P3M last week, now added to its 3-week
gross of P64.28.

GMA-Regal co-produced film 'My Valentine Girls' meanwhile earned about P8 million for its 3rd week and now has an accumulated 3-week gross of P44.26M.

Both films are still showing in theaters but definitely won't be earning more than what they earned last week, especially now that a
new Tagalog film has premiered this week.

Viva Films' "Who's That Girl?" which stars Anne Curtis and Luis Manzano, opened last Wednesday, March 2, and is directed by Wenn Deramas, whose last 2 films ("Petrang Kabayo",
"Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To) both reached P100M mark.

My Valentine Girls' reported gross of P135 million is NOT TRUE | True figure is 5 times lower!

Were you shocked to hear that the movie 'My Valentine Girls', which opened last Feb. 9, reportedly grossed P135 million in just 3 days?

Really shocking, isn't it?

The above figure was posted on PEP Alerts at Pep.ph yesterday and reportedly it came from Mr. Ric Camaligan, President of the National Cinemas Association of the Philippines. He's the same guy who gave us the "record-breaking?" box-office receipts during the last MMFF.

And now, another movie has reportedly broken all-time box-office records in the Philippines, both of Pinoy and foreign films.

A movie reaching P135 million for a week is not impossible, but P135 in just 3 days? That's not so possible.

Mykiru has just learned from a Regal Films insider that as of 10PM tonight, 5 days after 'My Valentine Girls' opened in cinemas, the film has earned an estimated gross of P45 million.

According to my source, the GMA and Regal Films-produced movie indeed had a low opening gross but it has an increasing gross receipts starting in Day 2 until today.

I believe that the film, which is topbilled by Valentine Box Office King Richard Gutierrez, will be able to pick up more earnings tomorrow, Valentine's Day, then on the 15th (Pay Day) and will continue 'til the end of the month.

With an estimated 5-day gross of P45M, therefore, the movie's gross averages P8M to 10M a day and it's 3-day gross could just be between P25M and P3OM only, 5 times lower than the reported P135M.

As what I've said to @brainyoreo on Twitter a while ago, it's just a dream figure and will stay as just a dream.

Toni Gonzaga, Bea Alonzo or Ai-Ai delas Alas: Who will be crowned Box Office Queen for 2010?

Toni Gonzaga might get the Box Office Queen 2010 title for the film "My Amnesia Girl" opposite John Lloyd Cruz, who's also a possible Box Office King for 2010.

And that is if Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation (GMMSF), who gives out those titles, won't change its rules that only the movies' earnings until December 31 will be counted in determining the top-grossing film of the year.

According to the figures available at Box Office Mojo, "My Amnesia Girl" (MAG) was the top-grossing Pinoy film for 2010 with $3,288,330 or P144.81 million gross revenues.

In close 2nd is the John Lloyd-Bea Alonzo starrer "Miss You Like Crazy" (MYLC) with $3,183,529 or P142.97 million gross.

With that, it's no doubt that John Lloyd is 2010's Box Office King while Toni could be the Box Office Queen.

And since the earnings of the two above-mentioned films are very close, other tabulators might have different figures, and "Miss You Like Crazy" could possibly be the topgrosser. Its star Bea Alonzo might also be the Box Office Queen.

It will now all depend on what figures will be used by GMMSF.

How about the MMFF 2010 films?

Two of the MMFF 2010 entries, "Ang Tanging Ina Mo (Last Na 'To)" and "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote", have collected earnings that are much higher than MAG and MYLC from December 25, 2010 to January 7, 2011.

But unfortunately, when only the earnings until December 31 are considered, the two MMFF entries failed to surpass that of MAG and MYLC.

"Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To" had P171 million gross receipts from Dec. 25 to Jan. 9 but counting until Dec. 31 only, it had an estimated gross of P109 million.

Same goes for "Si Agimat At Si Enteng Kabisote", which starred Bong Revilla and Vic Sotto. It had a high P159M gross revenues from Dec. 25 to Jan. 7, but only had P123M (estimated) from Dec. 25th to the 31st.

"Tanging Ina" lead star Ai-Ai delas Alas will for sure react again if ever she's not the 2010 Box Office Queen during the 2011 Box Office Entertainment Awards happening middle of this year.

In 2008, Ai-Ai was a bit disappointed that she was not crowned with the title. Sarah Geronimo was that year's Box Office Queen while Ai-Ai had to settle with Comedy Box Office Queen title (as a consolation).

And it seems like it's gonna happen again this year. Ai-Ai might just end up as Comedy Box Office Queen for 2010 as another consolation to her.

Here's how Pinoy films performed in the box-office for the year ended December 31, 2010:

1. My Amnesia Girl P144,818,053
2. Miss You Like Crazy P142,972,287
3. Si Agimat At Si Enteng Kabisote P123M (estimated amount only)
4. Here Comes the Bride P116,028,484
5. Petrang Kabayo P115,494,375
6. Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na 'To P109M (estimated amount only)
7. You to Me Are Everything P98,560,645
8. Babe, I Love You P96,185,439
9. Paano Na Kaya P82,023,631
10. Hating Kapatid P81,978,652
11. Dalaw P66M (estimated amount only)
12. In Your Eyes P62,775,365
13. Cinco P60,755,512
14. Till My Heartaches End P60,476,687
15. Sa 'Yo Lamang P50,230,216
16. I Do P42,441,264
17. I'll Be There P42,205,231
18. Shake, Rattle & Roll XII P40M (estimated amount only)
19. Working Girls P32,326,254
20. White House P23,027,565
21. Mamarazzi P21,559,704
22. RPG Metanoia P21M (estimated amount only)
23. Super Inday and the Golden Bibe P14M (estimated amount only)

MMFF 2010 ends | "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote" is the festival's top-grosser

Three foreign films have opened in Philippine theaters yesterday, a sign that the 36th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF 2010) has already ended its 14-day run.

Those international films are the Johnny Depp-Angelina Jolie starring film "The Tourist", the 3D comedy film "Gulliver's Travels" starring Jack Black and the "Meet the Parents" sequel "Little Fockers" topbilled by Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller.

But due to overwhelming box-office performance, the showing of some of the MMFF 2010 entries has been extended in some theaters.

Yesterday, MMFF chair Ric Camaligan revealed to PEP.ph that the combined gross receipts of all 8 official entries reached P530 million, from December 25, 2010 to January 07, 2011.

The film "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote" is the MMFF 2010's official top-grosser, with P159 million, followed closely by the festival's Best Picture "Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To" with P157 million.

It's a bit disappointing that "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote" only reached that amount. It should have been higher 'coz its opening gross of P31M broke all-time box-office records in the Philippines.

Now I'm getting convinced that there was indeed an exaggeration of the box-office figures released for the festival opening because if you noticed, there were no day-by-day updates from the MMFF committee on the next days.

Here's how the 8 entries fared during the 14-day MMFF 2010:

With above P100M gross:
1. Si Agimat At Si Enteng Kabisote - P159M (official figure)
2. Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To - P157M (official figure)

P50M and above but below P100M:
3. Dalaw - P96M (official figure)
4. Shake, Rattle & Roll XII - P50M (official figure)

P10M and above but below P50M:
5. RPG Metanoia - P27M (estimated amount only)
6. Rosario - P17M (estimated amount only)
7. Super Inday and the Golden Bibe - P17M (estimated amount only)

Below P10M:
8. Father Jejemon - P7M (estimated amount only)

TOTAL GROSS: P530 MILLION

MMFF 2010: "Dalaw" earns P40.6 million in 4 days | Kris Aquino wants Ted Failon as her next leading man

MMFF 2010 Box-Office OFFICIAL figures are not readily available for us, unlike in last year's MMFF where everyday, there was an update of the box-office results.

We have lots of "unofficial" figures on the net, but we want the official figures coming from the MMFF executive committee.

In 2009, MMFF chairperson Ric Camaligan even had himself interviewed by news programs and revealed the exact box-office figures of the festival entries.

Good thing that Philippine Star has the official box-office gross for December 25 and PEP posted on its Scoopbox the official receipts for December 26.

MMFF 2010 1st Day Gross (December 25)
1. "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote” P31M
2. “Ang Tanging Ina Mo (Last Na ‘To) P20M
3. “Dalaw” Kris Aquino P12.5M
4. "Shake, Rattle & Roll XII" P11.8M
5. "RPG: Metanoia" P5.1M
6. "Super Inday and the Golden Bibe" P4.7M
7. "Rosario" P3.2M
8. "Father Jejemon" P1.4M

MMFF 2010 2nd Day Gross (December 26)
1. "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote" P25.7M
2. "Ang Tanging Ina Mo (Last Na 'To)" P17.8M
3. "Dalaw" P11.3M
4. "Shake Rattle and Roll XII" P8.1M
5. "RPG Metanoia" P4.8M
6. "Super Inday and the Golden Bibe" P3.1M
7. "Rosario" P2.3M
8. "Father Jejemon" P1.0M

"Dalaw" star Kris Aquino happily shared on Twitter this afternoon that her MMFF 2010 entry already has an accumulated gross of P40.6 million as of December 28, 2010.

"Dalaw Dec 28 (day4) Gross: P7.650M. Total Gross to Date (4days): P40,640,800.19. Thank you, GOD! I thank all of u who watched! I thank God for helping us earn consistently! Thank u for the strong box office!

That just means, "Dalaw" has 10 million on the average and might also hit the 100 million-peso mark just like "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote" and "Ang Tanging Mo Last Na 'To".

Kris also got the chance to tell everyone on Twitter about a possible movie starring her in 2011 after the box-office success of "Dalaw" which paired her up with muscled actor Diether Ocampo. She asked suggestions from her followers as to who should be her next leading man.

"Tita Malou of Star Cinema asking who I want to work w/ for 2011 movie. Who do u want me on screen with? I said want to be directed by direk Chito or direk Olive. Up to them na the rest. Suggestions?"

And most of the fans answered TED FAILON who's currently Kris' textmate.

"Thanks for your suggestions! I'm sure si Ted ayaw mag movie. Pero praying our talk show pushes thru!."

That's really something exciting to look forward to in 2011.

'Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote' conquers the MMFF 2010 Box-Office | Sequel already set for 2012

Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote has topped the MMFF 2010 Box-Office with over 30 million-peso gross receipts on its first day.

No official figures yet, but according to the estimates reported by Showbiz Central, the said movie which is co-produced by GMA Films, Imus Productions, Octo Arts Films, APT Entertainment and MZET Films had an estimated 1st-day gross of P32 million, the highest opening gross ever by a Filipino movie.

It isn't surprising because "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote" stars two MMFF Kings: Sen. Ramon 'Bong' Revilla Jr and Vic Sotto, whose respective movie in the past MMFFs were really huge hits.

The movie definitely also benefited from being given the chance to promote both on GMA 7 and in some ABS-CBN shows (thru news features and taped interviews with Bong and Vic).

MMFF exec committee Ric Camaligan was interviewed by DZMM this afternoon and he revealed the opening box-office rankings of the 8 entries (also reported by ABS-CBN News):

1. Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote
2. Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To
3. Dalaw
4. Shake, Rattle & Roll 12
5. Super Inday and the Golden Bibe
6. Rosario
7. Father Jejemon
8. RPG Metanoia

PEP's @scoopbox has unofficial figures, but with different rankings:

1. Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote P31M
2. Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To P20M
3. Dalaw P12.5M
4. Shake, Rattle & Roll 12 P11.8M
5. RPG Metanoia P5.1M
6. Super Inday and the Golden Bibe P4.7M
7. Rosario P3.2M
8. Father Jejemon P1.4M

***

And because of this huge success of "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote", Senator Bong has hinted that a sequel is coming possibly in 2012, not in 2011, coz he has Panday Part 2, which is being prepared for the 37th Metro Manila Film Festival 2011.

Eclipse opening day to break New Moon's boxoffice record

Good news to Twilight fans out there!

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse opening day is now being expected to exceed the record made by The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which had an all-time opening day record of $72.7 million in the US.

That's after Summit Media Entertainment, the producer, has released its own estimate for the Eclipse midnight screening, which already reached more than $30 million. And it's already higher than New Moon's $26.3 million for its midnight screening.

That's why, there's a big possibility that Eclipse opening day sale will be more than $80 million, to become the biggest opening day of all time in the US.

'Ang Panday' fails to reach P100M mark

The ticket sales for 'Ang Panday' slowed down during the last 4 days
of MMFF 2009 preventing it to reach the 100 million-peso range. But no doubt, the movie is the final and overall topgrosser in the 2-week festival, with an accumulated 14-day gross of P99.4 million.

Also worthy to be recognized is 'I Love You Goodbye' which opened only in 4th place but ended the festival as the 2nd topgrosser, with P94.3 million total gross.

Big-budgeted 'Panday' was for General Audience while small-budgeted ILYG was PG-13. Now which movie has the higher net and considered more successful?
