Based from the latest figures of third party tabulator Box Office Mojo, Petrang Kabayo is the no. 1 movie in the Philippines for second consecutive week. It earned a respectable P20.53 million in 70 theaters last weekend of October 20 to 24 and maintained its no. 1 position at the local box office. It’s now at no. 7 in our list of top-grossing Pinoy films for 2010 and still climbing.
On the other hand, the Hollywood movie Life as We Know It starring Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel settled for second place with P8.75 million haul last weekend.
