forg Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 “RAMPAGE” TEARS ACROSS COMPETITION TO TAKE #1 AT PH BOX-OFFICE MANILA, April 16, 2018 – “Rampage,” starring Dwayne Johnson, tore across Philippine theatres, grossing a four-day weekend total of P59.7-million at the box office. The announcement was made today by Francis Soliven, General Manager of Warner Bros. Philippines. Thrilling audiences with its epic scope, cutting-edge visual effects, over-the-top action sequences and stunts, rampaging monsters, and unexpected humor and heart, the new action-adventure gave WB Philippines its biggest opening of the year todate, outgrossing last month's “Tomb Raider.” In making the announcement, Soliven stated: “‘Rampage’ is a massive, broad audience film that demands to be seen on the big screen – from the creatures to the visual spectacle … to Dwayne Johnson himself. Dwayne, director Brad Peyton and the rest of the cast and crew have delivered everything audiences want from an action movie event.” “Rampage” also stars Oscar nominee Naomie Harris (“Moonlight”), Malin Akerman (TV’s “Billions”), Jake Lacy (TV’s “Girls”), Joe Manganiello (TV’s “True Blood”), and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (TV’s “The Walking Dead”); as well as P.J. Byrne (“The Wolf of Wall Street”), Marley Shelton (TV’s “Rise”), Breanne Hill (TV’s “Frontier”), Jack Quaid (“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire”), Matt Gerald (TV’s “Daredevil”), Jason Liles (“Death Note”), Demetrius Grosse (TV’s “The Brave”), and Will Yun Lee (TV’s “Hawaii Five-O”). Peyton directed from a screenplay by Ryan Engle and Carlton Cuse & Ryan J. Condal and Adam Sztykiel, story by Ryan Engle. “Rampage” was produced by Beau Flynn, John Rickard, Brad Peyton and Hiram Garcia. It marks the third collaboration between Johnson, Peyton, Flynn and Garcia, following the international blockbuster hit “San Andreas,” Warner Bros.’ highest grossing film of 2015, as well as 2012’s global smash “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.” Executive producers were Marcus Viscidi, Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, Jeff Fierson, Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener and Michael Disco. Now playing in Philippine cinemas, Rampage is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forg Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 “A QUIET PLACE” SURPASSES THE P100-M MARK IN PH BOX-OFFICE MANILA, April 21, 2018 – After its resounding P41.7-M debut last week, Paramount Pictures' horror-thriller A Quiet Place continued to make noise at the Philippine box-office, breaching the P100-M milestone in just ten days of release. This was announced today by Columbia Pictures, the film's local distributor. The Emily Blunt-starrer parlayed its overwhelmingly positive reviews into terrific word-of-mouth that led repeat viewings and robust box-office. The recommendations have even crossed over from the usual film critics down to unexpected influential celebrities like horror genre masters Stephen King and James Wan, and actors Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, Ryan Reynolds, to name a few. Another reason why A Quiet Place is resonating with the moviegoing public is its admirable and touching portrayal of parents who will stop at nothing to protect their children. In the film, a family of four must navigate their lives in silence after mysterious creatures that hunt by sound threaten their survival. John Krasinski, who directed, co-wrote and acted on the film, has said he was utterly transported by the idea of a family’s nerve-jangling, high stakes search for safety, as well as their vital need for connection. The story seemed to encompass the most virulent fears of parenthood—turned up to the maximum. “In ordinary life you try to make sure your kids are happy, healthy, well fed, taken care of and educated, which is a lot to worry about,” Krasinski said. “But in this nightmare world, the stress of being a parent is that times 10,000. Here, with one false step, you could lose a loved one, something they know all too well.” A Quiet Place is distributed in the Philippines by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures.
