Two days only for It Takes, GI Joe and The Host. Impressive for It Takes (watched it and I loved it, very good romcom) and good enough for GI Joe. The Host flopped

Lines for It Takes a Man and a Woman are long and most theaters have it in at least 2 screens. The studio reports that it earned 150 million pesos ($3.6 million) in 6 days so it will likely be our #1 next week when BOM releases the figures

Opening next week (April 10)

 

Oblivion

Olympus Has Fallen

Naruto: Road to Ninja

[kayumanggi]

Naruto is live action?

[forg]

^ Nope. Animation. In Japanese with English Subtitles. One Piece Z is also coming this May 1. Both SM Exclusive. It's good that there's a local distributor releasing anime films, not an anime fan but I know a lot are and the fanbase is loyal and passionate so they will probably earn good enough

[Sam]

So with that gross, would you say that JTGS is a hit in The Philippines?

I see. There are really a lot of anime fans here.

[kayumanggi]

No doubt. The Philippines is probably the only country where this is number one for quite some time in the yearly chart.

Good for the movie then, at least it's not flopping everywhere 

 

I have noticed by going through this thread that The Philippines box office has been growing along healthily, it's really great when both Hollywood movies and local movies are successful in your country 

 

I'm hoping that IM3 will do good business here, $8M seems like a reasonable prediction for it, right? Anything above that and I'll be a very happy fan

Iron Man 3 will definitely be a box office hit and unless something surprises is lock for #1 for the year. Yeah the box office has been great lately despite higher ticket prices. I really love seeing long lines at the theaters

I'm happy too. The economy has improved a lot. The middle class is growing. Moviegoing IMO is still the number one form of entertainment for the family.

 

IRON MAN lll might make 10 M or more.

I agree. THOR: TDW could probably make 8 M. THG: CATCHING FIRE could also do very well. Maybe 6 M?

Friends and lovers as well When we watched It Takes a Man and a Woman there's a variety of audience from families to groups of friends to couples. The office crowd is a good demo to reach movie as well. Sure downloading is still prevalent but it doesn't have a big impact compared when pirated DVDs were popular before (there's still piracy but it kinda slowed down these days)

First THG movie sort of underwhelmed but it will grow with the second movie but I'm thinking 5M, i don't think it will reach Twilight level just yet.

[forg]

Star Cinema reported that It Takes a Man and Woman already grossed 200 million pesos in 8 days (March 30-April 6) so that's around $5 million already. BOM number will be lower for sure but that's very impressive. And with Iron Man 3 coming in 2 weeks, April's box office will be huge

Really? That much? That's like retaining most of TA's audience. You really think it can do it?

 

Well, you guys are the experts, so in forg and kayumanggi I trust  It would be really great if IM3 can gross big like that 

 

Glad to hear that your country's economy and generally living quality is improving and growing. Some of that must be attributed to Manny Pacquiao's Congressman-ship, right?   Kidding aside, the guy is a legend, I'm a big fan. He's a true sportsman, I really love his style and personality

Philippines love SH plus WOM from TA could propel it to 10M.

True. Plus downloading takes days here. lol

It really did well for a first entry. Yeah, I think 5 M is achievable.

It can IMO. SH movies are big here.

 

Manny Pacquiao is really one of a kind. Very humble and just inside and outside of the ring. It's just unfortunate he got excited and lost focus during the Marquez fight and was knocked down HARD. He should stop fighting IMO.

 

Wait, are you American?
