PHILIPPINES BOX OFFICE thread​

[forg]

Moneyball opens today (March 7) and John Carter on Friday (March 9). John Carter should dominate with less competition and the Kitsch scandal getting the movie more publicity (the boycott thing? nah will never happen)

Good opening for The Devil Inside. Filipinos are suckers for horror flicks lol

As expected so-so openings for Oscar movies Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close and War Horse

No numbers for Ayala Cinema exclusive My Week with Marilyn (just in 3 cinemas)

WTF at J. Edgar $5! Just one person who watched it? I'm very sure Marilyn did better since when I watched in Greenbelt 3, the theater was 80% full

Ghost Rider 2 surpasses Sherlock Holmes 2, what a shame! But GR2 had the advantage of 3D and if you look at it the top 3 foreign flicks are all available in 3D

War Horse barely beat that atrocious Breaking Wind! Really sad it did poor

And One for the Money bombed!

Lots of John Carter midnight screenings later. Will it do well here? Let's see

[kayumanggi]

I think it will do very well.

[forg]

Click the City film critic Philbert Dy gave John Carter 4.5 / 5!Yeah while John Carter may likely flop in the US, it might do good business here with no competition. But oh well we're just a small market :(Might see this tonight

[forg]

I wasn't able to watch John Carter because the screening time I wanted was sold out (watched Moneyball instead).

[kayumanggi]

I watched JC last night at SM North Edsa LIEMAX. 50% full.

Edited March 10, 2012 by kayumanggi

[forg]

LOL at LIEMAX. I've only seen IMAX in SM MOA and it's good

[The Dark Alfred]

John Carter is more fun in the Philippines?

[kayumanggi]

Yup!

[forg]

Maybe the Philippines can contribute $2 to $3 million to John Carter's OS total

[CJohn]

I am hoping that Portugal can at least give John Carter 2M...

[forg]

4 movies opening this week, 2 of which are local ones. Here are the foreign releases:March 14 - The LoraxMarch 15 - Mirror, Mirror

THE HUNGER GAMES is going to open on the 21st.

[forg]

Watched John Carter last night, I liked it and the cinema I was in was actually 100% full!The Hunger Games is going to be huge, lots of advance screenings happening as well! Poor The Muppets it's finally opening here but it's up against THG! I think I'll see The Muppets first to support it!
