The Feb. 15 - 19 box office report disappeared on BOM although the 2012 tally is still updated. Maybe they will add the numbers for the local film that was missing from the first report
-
BOM released new stats but no numbers for local movie Unofficially Yours yet. Ghost Rider 2 did well, will post the list in a bit
-
Per Click the City, sadly Hugo is now only being shown at MOA and Megamall :(In other news, local press release say that Unofficially Yours crossed 100 million PHP in the box office already, let's see if it will match up with BOM.
-
That's a solid number for Arriettty
-
SM North has 12 cinemas right? Never been there. But anyway as long as they have many cinemas I think Hugo will survive there for a second week
-
^ On second thought, that's a fairly decent number for This Means War and if it holds in the actuals then we have an all top 20+ mil earners top 5. It's not a big disappointment but somewhat underwhelming that it can't beat the three holdovers but given the awful reviews, this is a solid OW
-
Impressive numbes for the top 3, good enough to offset the disappointing performances of the new releases
-
The revision of the production budget for Ghost Rider 2 is indeed fishy due to the timing
-
It's only limited because it's only shown on 3D screensand unfortunately I don't think it's earning enough so it will likely shed half of its screens next week. I think it will still be around with the malls with lots of theaters like SM Megamall and Mall of AsiaMy work won't allow me to see HUGO this Sunday. Yeah I have work on Sundays. :(Will HUGO still be around next week?
-
Not surprised but still sad over Secret World Of Arrietty's box office performance. Still puzzled Disney didn't give this an Oscar-qualifying run last year as it will easily be nominated for Best Animated Picture. An Oscar nod would have give some buzz and maybe could have helped the box office. Oh well
-
The response to the trailer has been good and early word is that it's a good movie and Tatum did well, he will likely get the ladies to watch this. So this movie bodes well for Tatum's box office profileWill The Vows success help 21 Jump Street which also features Channing Tatum?
-
I think local movie Unofficially Yours will win the box office this week. Wanted to see that but the screenings are sold out. Hugo is available only in 3D format and sadly I don't think it did well in the box office so it will likely lost half (or more) of its screens next week for the Beauty and the Beast 3D re-release. Also opening next week are This Means War, Jack and Jill and local action flick Hitman. Nothing exciting for me so I will likely watch Hugo again if it survives a second week in the theater near my work I'll catch Beauty and the Beast 3D as well because I want to experience it in the big screen plus to catch the Tangled short as well

Here's a press release from The Vow's local distributor saying that the movie earned 34 million pesos (about $1.4 mil) on its first full week of release
"Columbia Pictures' touching romantic drama The Vow stole the hearts of Filipino audiences as it grossed an outstanding P34.08-million nationwide in its first seven days of release (Feb 10-16) and on only 61 screens. This was announced today by Vic Cabrera, managing director of Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. which distributed the film."

^ how old are the kids? If they are 10 below, maybe not. It's not your typical children's flick

The Descendants
Feb 17, 2012 / 6:20 PM,
Greenbelt 3, Makati City, Philippines
90% full (300-400 seats)
The trailers were already airing when I entered the cinema and these are the ones I was able to see
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Jack and Jill - some laughs
My Week with Marilyn
This is War - some laughs
The movie:
The story felt a little dry but in a way I like the simplicity of it all and that it's really all about pain. I love the rapport between George Clooney and Shailene Woodley, I like their scenes together. This is a good performance from Clooney but I don't think it's worthy of an Oscar. The crowd enjoyed Matt's confrontation with his wife's other man and they were very receptive as well of Sid's stoned jokes. All in all, it's a fine movie but it's nowhere near Payne's best.

BOM updated the Philippines Box Office index but it's weird because now Underworld Awakening only grossed $755,178. I'll post it later when they fix this mistake already
-
That's the Rotten Tomatoes effect I guess. Not that it's bad if you use that as your movie watching guide but sometimes it's weird how people passionately hate a movie they haven't seen just because it's rated "rotten"I just think it's important to stress that unless you have seen something you don't have the right to tell us if its good or not.

Amazing!

Just came home from Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance press screening, not my kind of movie but it has amazing visuals and Nicholas Cage is a pleasure to watch.Hugo and The Descendants opened today and they are sadly flopping in the cinema I was at earlier

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
Press Screening (Feb 15. 2012)
8 pm, Glorietta, Makati Philippines
95% full (400-500 seats)
- The press screening was co-organized by a motorcycle magazine here so there were a lot of riders/bikers in the crowd
Trailers:
Battleship - some wows and "it's like Transformers" comments
Jack The Giant Killer - No reaction
The Dark Knigh Rises - no reaction
The Hobbit - some chatter
Titanic 3D - some chatter, some were surprised to see this trailer
Ice Age 4 short - lots of laughter
The movie
This is not my kind of movie but it has amazing visuals. The story's a little darker than the previous and there were some creepy moments. Nicolas Cage is entertaining the in the crazy insane way and the crowd laughed a lot with some of his dialogues and antics. Saw this in 3D and it was OK but nothing amazing.

The visuals are amazing! I hope they can earn good OS. The high production budget is actually justified
