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.
