Philippine Box Office Recap 37

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 Exclusives My Week with Marilyn, Lawless, The Raven, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World and local movie Gun Guni so it's not on the charts below.

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 moves to the #3 spot for the 2012 rankings as the movie earned P319 million surpassing The Mistress' P269 million. The show has a slight chance to surpass The Amazing Spider-man for #2 which earned P340 million but it will depend on how it would hold up before The Hobbit opens on December 13.

Star Cinema's Star Magic anniversary movie 24/7 in Love earned P56 million in 2 weeks and while it's a solid gross it won't reach P100 million  which is somewhat disappointing given the all star cast. This will be also the first movie with John Lloyd Cruz that won't cross the P100 million landmark since Box Office Mojo began tracking Philippine Box Office in 2007.

Rise of the Guardians opened with 34 million pesos which is a solid opening and will have a chance to beat Madagascar 3 (P56 million) for the third highest animated grossing movie this year after Brave (66 million) and Ice Age 4 (92 million).

The first starring roles for Eat Bulaga's famous comic duo Jose and Wally D Kilabots Pogi Brothers.. Weh opened with a decent 14 million pesos. The movie looks relatively cheap (budget-wise) so this is a solid opening and it actually beat other local mainstream movies like Just One Summer, I Do Bidoo Bidoo and My Kontrabida Girl overall earning in just 5 days of release.

Horror sequels Paranormal Activity 4 and Silent Hill: Revelation disappointed with just P12 million  and P5.6 million grosses, respectively. Also opening poorly are Clint Eastwood's drama Trouble with a Curve with just P2 million, Nicholas Cage latest Stolen with P1.6 million, Viva's sexy drama Rigodon P1.2 million and the 3D re-release of Finding Nemo with a paltry P535 thousand.
