I'll try to see THG in SM MOA IMAX if my schedule permits. Damn too far.Forg, would you recommend MIRROR MIRROR?

[forg]

Oh yes Mirror, Mirror is fun to watch!

[kayumanggi]

But I'll watch THE HUNGER GAMES on Wednesday. Will it still be playing on Friday?

[forg]

I think so although for sure THG will occupy a lot of screens but I think theaters will still allocate screens for Mirror, Mirror and Lorax. Maybe John Carter too

[forg]

kayumanggi: Apparently, THG won't be available here in IMAX

[forg]

The Muppets finally opens tomorrow (March 21)! And of course there are a lot of The Hunger Games advance screenings tomorrow as well.Regular showing on March 22

[kayumanggi]

kayumanggi: Apparently, THG won't be available here in IMAX

Yeah. JOHN CARTER has it.

[kayumanggi]

Also, THG opens today at 8:00 PM in some cinemas and 11:59 PM in others. Can't watch today. Need to work. #disappointed

[forg]

^ Me too. And I actually got invited to an advanced screening at Gateway but that's too far from where I live (I'm from Cavite) and I need to finish some stuff at work so can't stay that late. I'll catch this probably on Friday although I think I will watch The Muppets first

Disappointing start for The Lorax, I though it would top last weekend! Disappointing too for Mirror, Mirror (they got beaten by Kontrabida Girl is harsh since that movie was expected not to do well). Good hold for John Carter

By the way, that's an awesome drop for JOHN CARTER.

[forg]

^ Yup, hopefully it will pass Underworld Awakening as well.Haven't watched The Hunger Games yet and it's jampacked at the cinemas last night.I watched The Muppets which is was just like 30% full (it won't likely get a second week ) Here's my review by the way (shameless blog promotion )

[forg]

"Latin and South American action was also strong. Mexico chipped in $3.59 million while Brazil furnished $2.6 million. Muscular per-screen numbers were posted in the Philippines ($1.71 million), Singapore ($1.38 million) and in Taiwan ($1.36 million)"

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/foreign-box-office-hunger-games-john-carter-21-jump-street-304038

So that's around 70 million pesos and that's an insane number! Could end up with $6-$7 million / 250-300 million pesos!

[kayumanggi]

How's the WOM? Don't you think 6 M is a stretch?

[forg]

^ WOM is pretty good and unless Wrath of the Titans kills it this weekend, it should get to 6 million. Local flick No Other Woman opened around the same with THG (and that was R13) and so I think this one should have a shot at 6 million. Wrath of the Titans is the only new release this week but it has a saturated release plus 3D and IMAX so let's see.

[kayumanggi]

That would be huge for a non-sequel. Great if it happens.

[forg]

WTF at BOM!

That's definitely a mistake. I'm going to e-mail them, hopefully they can correct it soon. Not going to the update the list yet

[Jim Shorts]

Have either of you seen My Kontrabida Girl? Any good?
