Philippine Box Office Recap 33

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.

A Secret Affair tops the local box office earning a P55.9 million on its opening week. The other new releases did so-so: The Three Stooges remake earned 5 million pesos while horror flick The Apparition nabbed 3 million pesos. Meanwhile, This Guy's In Love With U Mare bumps the Bourne Legacy out of the top 5 of the year to date chart. It won't beat The Mistress anymore but still an impressice performance to overtake The Dark Knight Rises. Also, Taken 2 enters the top 10 as well bumping off Kimmy Dora 2

Philippine Box Office Recap 32

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.
 This Guy's In Love With You, Mare jumps to the 6th spot of this year's top grossing movies as the movie earned 197 million pesos and while it's an impressive performance it might not topple The Mistress as the year's top grossing local movie of the year. Opening well is the local horror-comedy Tik Tik: The Aswang Chronicles earning 25 million pesos. There are also a bunch of new releases but all did so-so digits, leading the pack is the critically-acclaimed Argo with 6 million pesos followed by another critical favorite Looper with 5.7 million pesos, next is Alex Cross with 3.2 million pesos, SM exclusive Frankenweenie earned OK with 2.7 million pesos,  horror/suspense flicks Bait and V/H/S earned small with 1 million pesos and 751 thousand pesos, respectively.

Billboard Hot 100 (Issue Date: Nov. 3, 2012)

Looks like all hope is lost for Psy's Gangnam Style to get the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 as the song spends another week at #2 behind Maroon Five's One More Night which logs its sixth straight week at #1. Gangnam Style's sales are still strong but airplay is slowing down. The airplay gap between One More Night and Gangnam Style is still huge and it might be difficulty for Psy to catch up.

Meanwhile, Ke$ha lands her 4th top 5 single as Die Young climbs #8-#5 while Rihanna scores her 22nd top 10 single with Diamonds jumping #11-#8.Ne-Yo nabs her 11th top 10 single as Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself) climbs #12-#9. Bruno Mars' Locked Out From Heaven, his 1st single from his upcoming album, jumps #33 to #17 after receiving a sales boost from his Saturday Night Live!. Train's lands their sixth top 20 with 50 Ways To Say Goodbye ascending #24 to #20. This week's top debut is another album cut from Taylor Swift's new album Red, State of Grace bows at #13. Ellie Goulding's Lights will likely the be the longest chart sitter for quite as the 44-week old single climbs #15-#14 this week.

Here is this week's Billboard Hot 100 as posted at Pulse Music Board:

Philippine Box Office Recap 31

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.
This Guy's In Love With You, Mare impressed opening with 123 million pesos!

Review: Argo



On his third directorial effort, Ben Affleck goes out of the Boston crime stories and tackles a very timely topic of diplomatic tensions. Argo recreates a moment in world history that is emotionally resonant, humorous and  tense.

On November 4, 1979, the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point and militants storm the U.S embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But six Americans managed to escape and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador (Victor Garber). Knowing it is only a matter of time before the escapees are found and likely executed, CIA “exfiltration” expert Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) comes up with an ambitious but risky plan. With the help of acclaimed make-up artist John Chambers (John Goodman) and producer Lester Siegel (Alan Arkin), they established the production of a fake intergalactic science-fiction epic “Argo” and have the six pose as members of a Canadian movie crew scouting locations in Iran.

Argo's screenplay is based on an article written by Joshua Bearman about the Iranian hostage crisis and a chapter from a book by the real Tony Mendez. While the script took some liberties to make the story more cinematic, it knows not to make it flashy and executes each scene in a clean and unaffected manner.

The film's three acts are clearly-defined and smoothly glides from one part to another. The film starts with the haunting images of the militants breaking in the US embassy and those scenes will give you the shivers as it established the high tension atmosphere so effectively. The middle part of the film involves setting up the production of the fake film in Hollywood and this section brings in the laughs thanks to its self-deprecating humor and dry wit. But the film smartly didn't linger with that portion of the story as once Mendez goes to Iran to rescue the six Americans, the film fully takes off. The last act of the movie is riveting and intense. From the moment Mendez and the six escapees goes to the public as “the Canadian crew” to the time they are in the airport to execute their escape plan, Argo never fails to give edge of the seat thrills. How this story ends is no secret but still the film manages to stir up suspense.

Argo's production aspect is laudable from the editing to the cinematography even the hairstyling and costumes. It also helps that they used archived footage of the protests and actual news reports to make it feel more authentic. The performances from the cast is commendable and all the actors in this large ensemble were all given their moments to shine. Arkin will likely be the standout to most people as he delivers each punchy dialogue relentlessly but the lesser-known actors who played the six escapees are quite good as well as you could actually feel the frustration and fear without having brassy breakdown scenes or aggravated confrontations.

It's not easy to pull of a film based on a true story especially a subject as sensitive as this but Argo proves that it is still possible for Hollywood to come up with an entertaining film without comprising the spirit of the actual incident.

Rating: 10 / 10
