‘My Valentine Girls’ Hits P135M in Just 3 Days?

Is it fact or fiction?

According to a report by Ric Camaligan of the National Cinema Association of the Philippines via PEP’s Scoopbox, “My Valentine Girls” registered an ALL-TIME BIGGEST 3 DAY GROSS for a local or even a Hollywood film shown in the country. The Richard Gutierrez-starrer reportedly raked in an estimate of P135 million in just 3 days!

Straight from the horse’s mouth:

“It has been a record-breaking 2011 start for GMA Films and Regal Entertainment. My Valentinte Girls’s total gross for the 1st 3 days reached an all-time high of P135 million – the biggest 3 day gross for a Tagalog/Foreign film, breaking all box office records.”

Mother Lily Monteverde of Regal Films said:

“Napakahirap na ng buhay ngayon, kaya for a movie to make over P135 million in 3 days is a miracle. Divine intervention ito.”

P135 million in just 3 days is indeed a miracle, not to mention that it’s not Valentine’s Day yet. And it’s not even weekend yet which means by 1 week we can expect the movie to reach the elusive P200 million mark.

That is, if the report is accurate.

Based from our compilation of box office reports using the figures from third party tabulator, Box Office Mojo, the only Pinoy movie to surpass the P200 million mark (since the tally came to existence) was “You Changed My Life” starring John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo. I myself was a witness of how long the lines were at that time.

Last Friday night, I watched 127 Hours in Glorietta. The 7 cinemas have 7 different movies being screened (just one for My Valentine Girls) unlike in the time when “You Changed My Life” was screening and the same mall opted to use 3 of its theaters to run the Sarah-John Lloyd movie to accommodate the demand of moviegoers. Last Friday, I have not seen any line at all!

But of course, that’s just one cinema over more than a hundred across the country so I can’t base my judgment by that alone. Perhaps the film received long lines of moviegoers in other cinemas that I am not aware of.

What do you think?

    A reader objects to Ric Camaligan of the National Cinema Association of the Philippines saying that My Valentine Girls has grossed “P135 million” after three days. The reader says the movie just grossed about “P3 million” in its first day, so its total gross, at the end of its theater run, can only be in the vicinity of “P70 million.” This is according to a booker’s group. The reader says that PEP Alerts is “being used to promote the wrong figures.”

    Sigh! I’ve noticed a lot of GMA haters on this site…they just can’t simply accept the success of GMA and its movie..GMA is not known in playing old games and dirty tactics like ABS. Try to reminisce the Wowowee scandal and see it for yourself on Youtube…GMA is more credible than ABS…and besides, ABS can’t simply accept the success of GMA…Imagine their own Kantar media showed that GMA shows soar high in the rating games not just in Manila but in the entire archipelago…and also…GMA has no “UTANG” of 10 billion unlike ABS…ABS viewers and avid followers are simply pathetic, uneducated, squatter-like attitude, and insecure…Don’t be too harsh as you are the one hurting yourself to the truth and the fact that GMA is still the number network…Get lost little minded people!!! I also noticed that this site is a pro-ABS…they always say good things to their beloved network and bad things to GMA…it means, this site is simply unreliable and bias…

    Get lost bitter Kapalmilya…
