Philippine Box Office Recap 30

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.
Taken 2 has an impressive opening in the Philippines as the sequel to the 2009 movie earned P64 million. This is a HUGE increase from the Taken's opening gross in 2009 (P4.5 million ) and it already outgrossed the first movie's total of P7.9 million by a LARGE mile. This movie developed a strong fanbase over time.

The other two new releases are Ted and End of Watch. Ted earned P3.5 million which is OK considering it was not screened in SM Cinemas because of its R-18 rating  while the SM-exclusive End of Watch did so-so earning P1.5 million.

Here's the latest Philippine Box Office tally as originally posted at the Box Office.com Forums
