Philippine Box Office Recap 34

To check out the previous recap click here and as always some reminders and disclaimers

  • The following box office stats are from the ever awesome Box Office Mojo's Philippine Box Office Index. Thus, my box office comparisons and analysis are only limited to what Box Office Mojo has in its records
  • Studios and local distributors sometimes issues press releases about the box office performance of their movies and there are instances that they do not exactly match the data Box Office Mojo have in hand. I'm not sure how wide Box Office Mojo's scope is with our local theaters but for the purposes of a consistent discussion and analysis I will only focus on the numbers posted at Box Office Mojo.
  • I added some stuff like the Mission Impossible : Ghost Protocol box office for 2012 since Box Office Mojo does not include that 2011 holdover on their Top Movies 2012 list. Meanwhile the box office numbers for the holdovers from the MMFF last year are not on BOM's list so they're not on here as well.
  • Box Office Mojo does not have the numbers for Ayala Cinemas Exclusive My Week with Marilyn and local movie Gun Guni so it's not on the charts below.

James Bond dominates the Philippine box office as the latest Bond film Skyfall opens with 77 million pesos. This is an improvement from Quantum of Solace which opened with 54 million pesos in 2008.  Skyfall should easily surpass the Solace's cume of 103 million pesos. Other new releases are Disney's Wreck-It Ralph which had solid debut of 18.6 million pesos while the latest Star Cinema romcom Suddenly It's Magic opened modestly (compared to previous Star Cinema romcom) with 25 million pesos. Meanwhile, A Secret Affair closes in with the 100 million mark as the movie already grossed 95 million pesos in 2 weeks which will be the first non-Star Cinema affiliated movie to reach that mark this year.
