We just got Shake Rattle and Roll extreme on Netflix here, think me and the fiancé will start that in the next day or two REWIND is now available on Netflix Philippines. You might get it there soon. I'm not really a big fan of the movie. I thought MALLARI and GOMBURZA were better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should still enjoy the ticket boost from IMAX/special screens until Godzilla v Kong. Thinking of a final number between $1.5-1.8M Also, why is Box Office Mojo/The Numbers getting weaker and weaker on intl updates - particularly on WB releases in PH? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to be happy for this, but I just can't. The landscape here has changed. I don't know if it's because of streaming or high ticket prices or both, but this year would be lucky to have a $5M movie this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has arguably been giving people (friend groups, couples, etc.) more options to spend their money elsewhere for "experience" or reasons to just stay at home. But when works in movies favor, TikTok has been helpful to them too. 'Insidious' last year was likely fueled by midnight screenings as the "thing" that month. Barbenheimer and MMFF too. And to be fair, animated movies aren't really a hot ticket here (unless you're Frozen 2 or a Disney sequel) and 'Dune' has limits here. The slate this year hasn't been exciting too, our local A-listers have been experimenting in their films, and we really got hurt by the fall of Marvel/Disney live-action adaptations. But if the likes of 'Godzilla x Kong' or 'Deadpool' only does so-so then this market is joever lol. Lastly, I'm all in for our local studio Viva for releasing films in theatres almost weekly but damn at this point I think it's not doing theatres any help PR-wise. For $5M: My bets are Inside Out 2, Joker 2, Moana 2, Deadpool & Wolverine. Social media has been on fire with these films. With potential: Venom 3, Twisters (long-shot lol), and if that Vice Ganda-Jun Lana movie turns out to be accessible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, it's a struggle even for the good ones. Streaming is the main culprit, imo. If you are a family of four, you need P1600 on tickets alone. That's enough to pay a Netflix family subscription for 3 months. Edited March 13 by kayumanggi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's enough to pay a Netflix family subscription for 3 months. I agree that streaming & inflation really made a dent here - particularly in animation. It's like a literal "divide everything by 3-4" on grosses. I'll just add an asterisk that Dreamworks (even Illumination for some reason) also have been arguably getting diminished results here even pre-pandemic. HTTYD franchise peaked at $4M in 2019. No data for KP3 tho. This is why I'm a biiiit confident with Inside Out 2 and Moana 2 and they have that long gap that benefits Pixar films. Not Frozen 2 level - but enough to close the grosses to pre-pandemic numbers of Toy Story 4 ($4M) or Incredibles 2 ($5M) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that the cinema condition getting so poor that Philippines which used to the biggest box office in SEA Countries — is now struggling to make numbers like Vietnam (which was a invisible market a decade back) This deplorable condition is same as the Korea (awful films &high tix price) atleast good that Korea market has a government body (KOFIC) regulating the numbers (Last year, it was discovered that the Korean Market inflate their film numbers with ghost screening=screenings at late night with no visual audiences and interfering with the work with KOFIC) In case of Philippines, there isn't even any body to regulate the numbers. Numbers are so poor that Distributor don't even release the numbers. Like how many PR did we had last year on foreign films (The Little Mermaid, Insidious: The Red Door, Mario, Nun II, and Flash?) Atleast good that MMFF is conducted to some how push the local films but cinema isn't a 2 weeks game how will the rest of the year, cinema will survive without a good film pulling numbers. It's time to fix this issue soon or its may never recover at all Philippines, Hong Kong (they just reached at the level of 2011, Christmas, CNY holidays had harsh decline) &Korea are never going to recover if they don't come up with a solution to these existing problem 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have yet an opinion if it's a good distance or not.

My God, this is sooo true. They would have died during the pandemic, but no, they even had their cinemas renovated haha. I think that's also one of the reasons why there was an increase in ticket prices. It's just that life is so hard for people now and going to the movies is not their priority plus the fact that they can just watch at home and wait for the titles on streaming.
