I'm guessing if EMOJI had better reception, it could have made a play at 100M+ ala Angry Birds.

Yup that too. They could have benefited with the lack of major competition

I think The Mummy would have been an ideal August release

I don't think Cars 3 could go 400M worldwide. Oh well such a weak movie to get Disney's summer slot. I hope Coco does way better

I hope the studios do better for August 2018. Labor Day weekend might be not good for new releases but they can give good holds for earlier August releases

Hopefully September with its good on paper slate deliver big time

I kinda wish one of Disney's 2016 trio (Zootopia-Dory-Moana) was released this summer instead. Cars 3 was just too weak and contributed to the decline this summer

if the Netflix numbers were big, they probably would have released it or give us an idea of their viewership as it would have been a good case of streaming movies is just as as big the audience of theaters which they have been advocating

How low will the # be next weekend? Like $5M. Argh

Cars 3 will crawl to 150M and is only at 308M worldwide. I know it's profitable with merchandising but these are disappointing numbers.

Why is this month so thin. Next weekend is so dire, there's a chance we could have #1 below 10M.... Hopefully not and Hitman's Bodyguard or Annabelle will have good holds

At least Hitman's Bodyguard will open good enough. The next two weekends though look so dire. Somebody surprise or rerelease please

Oh well get the publicity Tulip Fever, be a movie urban myth lol

Any numbers for Girls Trip?

Looks like August has nothing that can reach it. Maybe Annabelle: Creation?

I think Kidnap did OK considering the distribution problem it had plus it already leaked months ago. Kinda like 47 Meters Down

Girls Trip still has a shot for 100M, right? I was hoping for smaller drops This month is so empty. I wish Kingsman is on this month instead

Press releases from Viva said Kita Kita earned 200M in 2 weeks while Star Cinema says Finally Found grossed 100M in 4 days

“CARS 3” SPEEDS AWAY WITH P40.8-M, WEEK'S NO.1 FOREIGN MOVIE MANILA, August 2, 2017 – Disney-Pixar's “Cars 3,” the latest installment in the beloved Cars series, raced to a smash P40.8-million opening weekend nationwide, ranking as the No.1 foreign movie for the July 26 – July 30 frame.

It has been more than ten years since the first “Cars” film was released, but Lightning McQueen remains an iconic character today.

Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary champion finds himself suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. Suddenly, he finds his dominance in the sport, as well as the confidence that got him there--threatened by younger, faster cars. Determined to get back into pole position, #95 must decide if his love for racing is enough to fuel the comeback of his life. “Cars 3” features Owen Wilson (“Shanghai Noon”) as the voice of Lightning McQueen. Cristela Alonzo (“The Angry Birds Movie”) voices tech-savvy trainer Cruz Ramirez, who tries to help Lightning return to greatness, and Armie Hammer (“The Social Network”) lends his voice to next-gen racer Jackson Storm, whose high-tech speed leaves Lightning McQueen behind. Directed by Brian Fee, produced by Kevin Reher and co-produced by Andrea Warren, “Cars 3” is executive produced by John Lasseter, who directed the first two films in the franchise. Disney/Pixar’s “Cars 3” is now cruising into Philippine cinemas. #Cars3 #JointheRacePH

“SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING” SWINGS AT NO.1, GROSSES P208.44-M IN 4 DAYS MANILA, July 10, 2017 – Peter Parker triumphantly returned home to a hero's welcome as Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man: Homecoming opened at No.1 in the Philippines, amassing P208.44-million in only its first four days of release, according to the studio. The new adventure starring Tom Holland as the 15-year-old Peter Parker broke the industry's record for All-Time Biggest July Opening Weekend ever, as well as three long-held records by Columbia Pictures – Biggest Non-Holiday Opening Weekend, Single Biggest Day of All-Time (at P70.9-M) on Saturday, July 8 and the Second Biggest Single Day (at P68-M) on Sunday, July 9. Fans and critics alike heaped praises on Spider-Man: Homecoming with discussions on social media centering on the freshness of the filmmakers' approach to the reboot, the diversity of the cast which includes Fil-Am talent Jacob Batalon as Spidey's best buddy, and how Holland's portrayal is the “best depiction ever” of the young superhero. In the US, the web-slinger's latest tale debuted to a record-shattering $120-M in estimates, while the international box-office took a smash $140-M opening gross. That should give the film a $260 million global opening, if estimates hold. Back in the Philippines, Spidey's coming-of-age spectacle rolled out in 591 screens and 183 locations, with SM Mall of Asia (at P8.89-M), SM Megamall (P8.04-M) and SM North EDSA (P7.42-M) besting all cinemas in terms of sales. In the Top Ten are Trinoma (P6.42-M), Glorietta IV (P4.79-M), Powerplant (P4.11-M), Greenbelt III (P3.59-M), Alabang Town Center (P3.47-M), Greenhills Promenade (P3.46-M) and Uptown Place (P3.06-M) Fisher Mall leads the Top Twenty with P3.01-M, followed by Robinsons Magnolia (P2.97-M), Gateway Cineplex (P2.94-M), SM Cebu (P2.87-M), U.P. Town Center (P2.85-M), SM Aura (P2.79-M), SM Southmall (P2.78-M), Ayala Cebu (P2.72-M), Eastwood (P2.70-M) and Bonifacio High Street (P2.59-M). Rounding out the Top Thirty are SM Clark (P2.56-M), Robinsons Ermita (P2.49-M), Shang Cineplex (P2.43-M), Fairview Terraces (P2.26-M), Market!Market! (P2.23-M), SM Seaside (2.16-M), SM Marikina (P2.11-M), SM Dasmarinas (P2.00-M), SM Fairview (P1.95-M) and Harbor Point (P1.73-M). A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, enters the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Embraced all over the world, Spider-Man is the most popular comic book character in history and the crown jewel of Marvel comics. Now, he comes home in a film with a fresh, fun tone and new take, produced by Marvel Studios, that brings the Peter Parker of the comic books to the screen alongside MCU heroes for the first time. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened. His moment has arrived as he is challenged to become the hero he is meant to be. Spider-Man: Homecoming is distributed in the Philippines by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

Spider-man should be big, no other movie opening and no major release last week as well so the market is ripe

“WONDER WOMAN” OVERTAKES “BATMAN V SUPERMAN” AS BIGGEST WARNER BROS. MOVIE IN PH MANILA, July 03, 2017 – It’s official: An Amazonian princess has bested both the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight at the Philippine box office. As of last Saturday, July 1, the P520.5-million cumulative box-office gross of Wonder Woman has overtaken the lifetime gross of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to become the biggest Warner Bros. Movie of All-Time. This was announced today by Francis Soliven, General Manager of Warner Bros. Philippines. “`Wonder Woman' has shown tremendous staying power and repeat business at the local box-office, and we could not be prouder of the film,” says Soliven in making the announcement. “The story of Diana, as played by the incomparable Gal Gadot, has resonated across all demographics and continues to inspire moviegoers. We are truly grateful to the fans and critics for embracing Wonder Woman.” The film's success in the Philippines is mirrored by its exceptional performance in the U.S. where just four weeks after it bowed, the superhero origin story has outperformed all the previous entries in the D.C. Extended Universe franchise, including last year’s Batman v. Superman, Suicide Squad and Man of Steel. The Amazonian’s success story is all the more astounding when considering global movie revenues. The movie has made more than $660 million worldwide despite still awaiting release in over 12 countries. When all markets are accounted for, Wonder Woman has the potential to cross the $1 billion mark. Now playing across the Philippines, “Wonder Woman” is distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company

Minions was around P189M while DM2 P125M. I felt DM3 would open lower as the McDo Happy Meal toys were not as hot as it used to be
