No Perks?

Last minute savior!

Great news! The past 4 weeks were so depressing on a box office geek standpoint lol. This was a BIG win! 2 great openers, solid holds for 2nd week movies (save poor Dredd) + 1 sizzling limited release

Steep drop for ParaNorman & Odd Life as expected but they are moderate hits nowNo chance I guess for Expendables 2 and The Campaign to crawl to $90 million now but still decent earningsArbitrage is doing well as well considering it's available on VODBOM is tracking Brave again after a two-week absence

Grady Smith ‏@EWGradySmith 'Perks of Being a Wallflower' earns $1.14M from 102 theaters. Still strong $11,150 theater average. They should go wider faster, I think.

FINALLY a good box office weekend! So happy with that

Yeah Frankenweenie is a tough sell for kids so not expecting anything huge for it

Oct. 17. (Argo and Frankenweenie also on that day)

I hope Looper will have Inception type of legs

Who would have thought Sweet Home Alabama will keep that record for that long? Rooting for Hotel Transylvania, I hope it can make it. We need some good box office news!ParaNorman will drop a lot this week but I must say it had good box office run. Ditto Odd Life of Timothy Green.Nemo 3D is pretty much done as well.

I hope Perks of Being a Wallflower will expand well Such a good movie that should appeal to the mainstream moviegoing public

Go Hotel Transylvania and Looper!

Philippines Box Office September 19–23, 2012 Box Office Mojo (US $1 = 41.5487 Philippines Peso) [*](local) The Mistress - $1,239,128 [*]Resident Evil: Retribution - $643,927 [*]Dredd - $128,965 [*](local) Pridyider - $86,644 1 [*]Ruby Sparks - $66,000 [*]The Hunting Party - $18,424 [*](local) Ang Nawawala - $5,957 [*]The Watch - $5,476 [*]Total Recall (2012) - $4,964 [*]The Dark Knight Rises - $2,070 - [*]The Campaign - $57 Poor performance for the openers. Good hold for The Mistress, it already earned $4.5 million, could beat The Bourne Legacy ($4.8 million) for the #4 spot

^ Really? That's kinda sad for Dredd but anyway are there many Filipinos in that area?

Opening this week:The Perks of Being a WallflowerHotely TransylvaniaLocal movies Of All The Things and Sta. NinaSouth Korean movie QuickAn obscure Mel Gibson movie Most Wanted (Get the Gringos)****Watched Perks earlier, loved it! Theater was 95% full. Could have a chance to top this week's box office

The Perks of Being a Wallflower 7:25 pm, Glorietta 4, Makati City, Philippines 95% full (300-400 seats) Trailers: Argo Take 2 (some chatter and jokes like this time around Liam Neeson will be kidnapped) Trouble with a Curve (some laughs with the Dr. Phil joke in the end) Oz: The Great and the Powerful (some chatter) The movie First day of showing here so lots of book fans in the audience as you can clearly tell from the huge respond with certain lines and scenes. But there are a lot of people who haven't read the book in the audience as well because I heard a lot of surprised reactions with some of the story's plot points. The audience loved Logan Lerman here and I heard a couple of people who exclaimed loudly how good he is but without a doubt Ezra Miller was the crowd pleaser. The audience loved him! However, I sensed some mixed reaction when Charlie's secret was revealed. Over all the crowd responded well and lots of good exit chatter. I love the movie as well, got the essence of the novel right and the casting is just terrific. Really had a great time. If I have some money, will watch this again. A

Good for End of Watch, the surprise of the month albeit on a lower scale and thanks to disappointing numbers from competition
