Strong opening for Wrath of the Titans! I haven't seen it actually since I was not a fan of the first one

And great drop by THG. Their OW were almost identical. WOTT also saw its biggest increase here in comparison to COTT percentage-wise among Asian markets.

[kayumanggi]

True. Anyway we have 4 IMAX Screens now: MOA, North Edsa, Southmall and SM Cebu.

Have you experienced all? Would you like to rank them?North Edsa is crap.

[forg]

Only experienced MOA, I like it but my complain is that it doesn't have that much leg room.Clash of the Titans opened with 47 million pesos two years ago and finished with 211 million pesos ($4.7 million). Let's see if Wrath can reach that level. But I think it will struggle

[kayumanggi]

It won't reach it. BATTLESHIP is opening soon.

[forg]

Titanic 3D opens today! Are you going to watch it kayumanggi?

Edited April 7, 2012 by forg

[kayumanggi]

Nope. I saw THE HUNGER GAMES again with my brother and his wife. They loved it.

[Jim Shorts]

The ones that I liked recently are Won't Last a Day Without You and Wedding Tayo, Wedding Hindi. UnOfficially Yours is ok but it might be a little racy for your parents

I might have to ask my parents to bring back a copy of Unofficially Yours, although it will be showing in a local theater here in Virginia.Btw, Angel Locsin and I were both born in the same town.

[forg]

^ Angel Locsin is pretty good in UnOfficially Yours, her best movie role IMHO.***BATTLESHIP opens tonight in select theaters, regular showing nationwide tomorrow

[forg]

Just got home from the advanced screening of Battleship, entertaining flick. Should do well here

[CJohn]

A good blockbuster for the Summer. I heard the ending is very good for a usual blockbuster.

[SentryTrans]

Battleship will be big in Southeast Asia.

[forg]

Battleship is the type of movie that works here, visual effects extravaganza

This week Battleship was the only new release and next week while there are 4 new releases, 3 of those are just limited (Anonymous,Asian movie Sector 7 and local indie Busong) so The Lucky One basically has no competition at all. Then we have sneak peeks of 21 Jump Street on April 23 & 24 and The Avengers will conquer the country on April 25.American Pie: The Reunion is set for May 2 (as well as Big Miracle & Street Dance 2) and Cabin in the Woods will open on May 9

[kayumanggi]

Marking the date: April 25th

- Strong opening for Battleship!

- Solid numbers for Moron 5, could perform like Who's That Girl d and end with 60-70 million

- I'm satisfied with Titanic 3D's performance
