Bukas (Miyerkules) pa mabubuo ang one week namin pero malapit na kaming maka-100-M,kaya masyang -masaya ngayon sa office."Mabilis ang pasok ng moviegoers sa pelikulang Pinoy lalo na kung magaganda ang rebyu.First day pa lang,nagluluksuhan na sa tuwa sa Star Cinema office," kuwento pa ni Wilbur .

"Big risk din kasi ang ginawa ni Direk Olive sa movie,kasi sabi nya iibahin niya ang pelikula sa ordinaryong drama.Kinagat ng viewers,kaya masaya sa opisina ngayon."

Matapos pag-usapan ang tungkol sa planong church wedding nina Mariel Rodriguez at Robin Padilla ay nahaharap naman ngayon si Mariel sa ilan pang kontrobersiya.

May mga balitang naglabasan na gusto na lamang ni Mariel na maging full-time housewife kay Robin Padilla at tinatamad na rin daw itong magtrabaho sa noon time show na Happy Yipee Yehey.

“Hindi naman ako tinatamad mag-work. No. Work is a blessing and hindi naman namin ginugusto na hindi na ako magtatrabaho. He knows that he is my priority kasi eh. Whenever he needs me I will be there for him. Siya pa rin ’yung number one priority ko,” paglilinaw ni Mariel.

Hindi rin nagpapaapekto ang TV host sa mga balita tungkol sa kinita ng pelikula nilang TUM: My Pledge of Love na pinaghirapan nilang mag-asawa.

“Actually, we don’t talk about those things. We are not affected by those things. Ang sa amin is the reaction of the people who watched it. So far we’re so blessed kasi napakaganda ng sinasabi ng mga nanood. Talagang abot-langit ang aming pasasalamat,” dagdag pa ni Mariel. Reports from JAMES C. CANTOS

“Bulong”, Star Cinema’s horror comedy film, topped Philippine box-office last week with a haul of P33.25 million in first 5 days.

Starring Vhong Navarro and Angelica Panganiban, “Bulong” is Star Cinema’s opening salvo for 2011 and the first local mainstream movie to be screened this year after the Metro Manila Film Festival.

Star Cinema’s previous horror films earned higher in their first 5 days of showing. “Cinco” which was shown July last year had an opening gross of P38.59M while the MMFF entry “Dalaw” earned around P50 million. However, the P33.25 million opening weekend gross of “Bulong” is not bad at all.

“Bulong” bested 3 Hollywood movies which also debuted last week: The Rite (#3), Burlesque (#4) and the Warrior’s Way (#9). It was also the grand opening week of “Tangled” after its 3D debut last 2 weeks ago.

Here’s the Philippine box office tally for the opening weekend of February 2 to 6, 2011 according to Box Office Mojo (premiering movies are highlighted in yellow)

According to Mr. Ric Camaligan, miyembro ng Executive Committee ng Metro Manila Film Festival ang official box-office results ng mga pelikulang kalahok sa katatapos na filmfest.

Tuwang-tuwa itong ibinalita na sa pagtatapos ng filmfest, nakalikom ito ng P530 million at masasabing ito na ang pinakamataas na kinita ng MMFF sa loob ng 36 na taon.

Ang top grosser na Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote ang may pinakamataas ding kinita at record-breaker ito.

Umabot ng 159 million pesos ang kinita nito, at record-breaker din daw ang first-day earnings nito na umabot ng 32 million pesos.

Malaking bagay ang paghakot ng awards ng Tanging Ina Mo, Last na ‘To kaya humabol at dumikit pa sa Agimat - umabot din ito ng157 million pesos.

Pumangatlo ang Dalaw na kumita ng 96 million pesos at pang-apat ang Shake, Rattle and Roll 12 na naka-50 million pesos.

Hindi na inilabas ng MMFF ang kinita ng iba pang entries dahil showing pa ito sa ilang sinehan. Baka makaapekto pa raw dahil hindi ito gaanong kumita kumpara sa apat na pelikulang nabanggit.
