^ Yup it is. I hope they work things out soon Anyway, I was at the theater Cap 2 is still selling but the big surprise is Diary ng Panget doing well too! I know the book is popular but I never though it is THIS big. Big surprise since the cast are newcomers!

Cap 1 bored me but Cap 2 was really good, very deserving of its success!

Teaser might come out with Maleficient, they still have Planes 2 to promote

“CAPTAIN AMERICA” SEQUEL GROSSES P155.51-M IN 5 DAYS, OPENS AT NO.1 IN PH via press release MANILA, March 31, 2014 – The patriotic superhero led the Philippine box office to victory as Marvel's “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” opened at No.1 with a nationwide, five-day opening weekend gross of a staggering P155.51-million. This according to Victor R. Cabrera, Managing Director of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Philippines which distributed the film. Propelled by through-the-roof, positive reviews from critics and excellent word-of-mouth, the record-breaking bow claimed the biggest opening weekend for the year for a foreign title (dethroning “300: Rise of an Empire”) as well as the biggest March opening ever in the industry. The debut of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” also glaringly surpassed the openings of previous Marvel titles, specifically its predecessor, 2011's “Captain America: The First Avenger” (P90.8-M), 2010's “Iron Man 2” (P104.9-M) and 2011's “Thor” (P59.5-M). Overseas, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” grossed a stellar $75.2 million from 32 territories (incuding UK, France, Germany, Italy, Korea and the Philippines), representing approximately 57% of the overseas market place. By comparison, the original “Captain America” grossed only $40 million from the same group of countries in 2011. The film opens in the U.S. and North America on April 4. Back in the Philippines, “The Winter Soldier” rolled out in 453 screens, including 8 IMAX theaters. The SM Group claimed the three biggest opening receipts, led by SM North EDSA (P8.41-M), SM Mall of Asia (P8.33-M), SM Megamall (P7.62-M). The top four to ten slots are occupied by Trinoma (P5.16-M), Glorietta 4 (P4.90-M), SM Cebu (P4.36-M), Alabang Town Center (P3.96-M), Greenbelt 3 (P3.87-M), Power Plant (P3.79-M) and Greenhills Promenade (P3.70-M). Rounding out the top 11 to 20 rankings were SM Aura (P3.63-M), Newport (P3.39-M), SM Southmall (P2.83-M), Shang Cineplex (P2.72-M), Robinsons Magnolia (P2.543-M), Gateway (P2.541-M), Eastwood (P2.53-M), Ayala Cebu (P2.46-M), SM Fairview (P2.34-M) and SM Marikina (P2.15-M). Marvel's “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” which continues the big screen adventures of Steve Rogers aka Captain America, picks up after the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, and finds Steve Rogers living quietly in Washington, D.C., and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue and mystery that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off assailants sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable new enemy—the Winter Soldier. Based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series, first published in 1941, Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” returns Chris Evans as the iconic Super Hero character Steve Rogers/Captain America along with Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon, Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, Frank Grillo as Brock Rumlow, Emily VanCamp as Agent 13, Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, with Academy Award® winner Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce, a senior leader within the S.H.I.E.L.D organization, and Samuel L. Jackson as S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury.

Strong holds for the family movies (even Nut Job!) Holding out hope for Muppets Most Wanted to earn 55-60M

Good holds for Muppets and Peabody

I think the books is just more popular than the other YA adaptations plus they really marketed this well plus they casted some good veteran actors here Kate Winslet, Ashley Judd, Tony Goldwyn so it appealed to non-book fans as well.

I never knew Colin and Meg had a movie together but it'skinda cool to have him play her son I miss the old Meg Ryan. I hope she gets a good project soon whether on film or TV.

Good for Divergent!

I hope that Muppets will indeed earn 10M for the weekend. Mr. Peabody and Sherman holds are good. Both movie still have a week before Rio 2 opens although Captain America is a family friendly movie as well. I hope Muppets 2 can crawl to 50M at least.

Looking at Spongebob's ratings, it is still popular. Will this be in 3D/CGI?

Wow Nut Job is still in theaters, this one really had decent run The Monuments Men also did well, never thought that. Exiting the Oscar season for a February release was a good move I guess

Disney is selling a lot of DVDs (plus it boosted OST sales) in a time where the home video market is not as strong as it used to be so I don't think Disney really cares that much the Frozen's box office took a big dip As for Muppets Most Wanted, oh well it's disappointing for sure. Would be really lucky it it can reach 50M

Oh there were claws out during Hunger Games box office run in 2011 here. Catching Fire though not that much except for the panic and cynicism initially when it was estimated to open below HG

I'm sad for Muppets Most Wanted. I expected it to underperform for months already because of release date and lack of fanfare but then I saw the movie a few days ago and I really liked it so even if I was expecting it to do poorly, I was still hoping it could survive. Oh well I'm not sure OS can save it too.

I imagine a Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan reunion romcom has potential to do well again even if they're near 60 already. if material is appealing enough. Meryl Streep's It's Complicated was a hit just a few years ago. Larry Crowne was really disappointing though for a Tom Hanks-Julia Roberts romcom because it was really uneventful and looked dry

The Muppets I guess is just not that appealing to kids today

Aww sad for Muppets

22M is OK for Muppets, hoping it keeps or improves.

Slightly higher than the first one which I remember was around 45M. Still hoping for the best. I do really want to see another Muppets movie...... or a TV special or show.

Yup, I liked it. There are dragging parts though but overall it is solid. I give 7/10 I think you will like it

I'm really hoping Muppets Most Wanted will have better legs this time, not expecting for 100M but hopefully 60M-80M. Anyone knows what the budget is?

What Tumblr thought me though is that girls love men kissing men as much guys like girls kissing girls
