Congratulations to the Oscar nominations!

Sorry for the double post! Congrats to the Oscar nomination for THIS IS ME. It was a good strategy to submit just one song to prevent potential vote splitting that could result to getting snubbed but a lot of the songs here are so worthy of a nomination. I would love to see Hugh Jackman and the cast perform on stage with THE GREATEST SHOW had it been in contention, that song is such an earworm and showstopper

I enjoyed this movie a lot. Happy for its box office success and as well as the soundtrack

Glad to see Coco finally joining 200M club while Pitch Perfect 3 crosses 100M

Wonder at 250M worldwide is amazing! I love that sweet, gentle movie. Glad it resonated well Coco poised for 700M, yay! OK for Ferdinand, if not for the big budget but I hope it's decent enough for Blue Sky

It took awhile than I hoped but glad Coco finally reached 200M! Of course I was hoping higher but I'm happy it didn't become like Good Dinosaur Also glad Pitch Perfect 3 crossed 100M as well. The response is kinda muted but the box office run of the first movie (word of mouth hit) was so good so I wanted the franchise to end on a good note box office wise Enjoying the box office legs of Jumanji and The Greatest Showman! Den of Thieves surprised me. Could 50 Cent have drawing power? His cable show is a ratings hit Decent for Forever My Girl. Should stick around until Valentines week

The Greatest Showman crossed 100M on Tuesday! Pitch Perfect 3 will be next The Post has potential to be the last 100M 2017 release

“PITCH PERFECT 3” SCORES ALL-TIME BIGGEST OPENING WEEKEND FOR MUSICAL-COMEDY MANILA, Jan. 16, 2018 – They saved the biggest for last! Universal Pictures' Pitch Perfect 3 sang its way straight to the Philippine box-office to the tune of P101-M – the industry's highest opening weekend ever for a musical-comedy. That figure also represents the sixth biggest opening weekend ever for a Universal Pictures title, ahead of 2015's Fast and Furious 7 (at P97.9-M); and the all-time biggest January opening for Universal, surpassing last year's P65-M debut of The Great Wall. In the US, the Bella's farewell run has grossed a resounding $94.7-M and $67.7-M internationally with numerous markets yet to open. "With this series, we feel like we tapped into something-this flood of female empowerment, not just in Hollywood and in our industry, and in movies, but in the world," says producer Elizabeth Banks who also directed the second installment. “If that power comes with entertainment for the audience, so much more the better. Plus, singing and dancing and making people laugh is never a bad combination."

I love watching the box office run of this movie

The film has a 75% certified fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, echoing the moviegoers' warm response to the actioner.In the Philippines, Welcome to the Jungle opened in 243 screens, with SM Mall of Asia (P4.19-M), SM North EDSA (P3.61-M) and SM Megamall (P3.14-M) getting the proverbial lion's share of sales.Close to their heels are Trinoma (P2.5-M), SM Cebu (P2.31-M), SM Clark (P2-M), Glorietta 4 (P1.93-M), SM Baguio (P1.61-M), Powerplant (P1.5-M) and Greenhills Promenade (P1.47-M).Also high in the rankings are Gaisano Davao (P1.41-M, SM Seaside (P1.38-M), SM San Lazaro (P1.28-M), SM Fairview (P1.26-M), Alabang Town Center (P1.22-M), SM Dasmarinas (P1.19-M), Bonifacio High Street (P1.18-M), Robinsons Ermita (P1.145-M), Greenbelt 3 (P1.142-M), and Robinsons Magnolia (P1.13-M).Closing out the Top 30 theaters are SM Southmall (P1.11-M), SM Aura (P1.1-M), Fisher Mall (P1.08-M), Gateway Cineplex (P1.07-M), Uptown Place (P1.03-M), Market!Market!

What they discover is that you don’t just play Jumanji – Jumanji plays you. They’ll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, or they’ll be stuck in Jumanji forever…Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

The box office run of Jumanji and The Greatest Showman have been so fun to track. Star Wars still did great of course but that was expected so not as exciting to track unless it was pacing ahead of The Force Awakens. Considering the tepid reaction to Pitch Perfect 3 (the soundtrack is not selling/streaming well) I think it was indeed a good move for Universal to screen it on December, it benefited from holidays so at least it's still going to gross in the 100M zone

I'm also a little sad Coco didn't break out big time DOM (250M+) but I was also one of the people worried it will be The Good Dinosaur 2.0 but thankfully it didn't so I'm satisfied with the box office performance especially OS.

So happy for The Greatest Showman's box office! Love seeing strong holds week to week!

Thanks TeleMachos! You did a great job as admin here

Nice for Greatest Showman! 100M DOM is a possibility right?

Good for Star Wars. Too bad for Ferdinand.

So happy for Coco and Wonder! My feel good movies of the year Good reviews + Awards buzz are so essential for the 'prestige' titles, without those, they will likely struggle just ask Breathe, Roman Israel, Wonder Wheel, Suburbicon among others

The Frozen short is really designed to have commercial breaks, you can feel it. And I liked it because I'm a sucker for Christmas specials but I get why there's some backlash against it I do understand why Disney decided to have it though but now that Coco has proven its strength, they could remove it so the movie can end earlier and maybe have more showtimes

He wrote that without knowing this would have a record breaking Rotten Tomatoes run lol I wonder if he will write a "second look" review eventually

The next two weekends are dire in terms of nationwide new releases so hopefully we could see some excellent holds from the holdovers!

Happy for the success of Coco and Wonder

With back to back A+ CS for Wonder and Coco, it seems like the audience are really in the mood for feel good movies. Maybe a reaction to the toxic political atmosphere

So hyped about this!

I've been scanning twitter reactions to the movie and mostly "I cried" tweets and also a lot people seeing their own grandparents through Mama Coco. The character design for Mama Coco really exudes a real life grandparent. There's warmth that transcends. Just even listening to the Remember Me duet of Miguel and Mam Coco on Spotify already makes me teary eyed, their voices just hits it hard I will likely see this again
