Vic Sotto & Bong Revilla Tied as Box-Office Kings, Ai Ai delas Alas is Box-Office Queen
Vic Sotto and Sen. Bong Revilla are tied as 2010 Box-Office Kings according to Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Awards committee. Sotto and Revilla’s MMFF collaboration “Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote” was considered the top-grossing Pinoy movie of 2010 although its screening was extended until January 2011. The fantasy-comedy movie raked in a total of P159 million in its 2-week MMFF duration.
Ai Ai delas Alas, on the other hand, is the new Box-Office Queen because her film “Ang Tanging Ina Mo, Last Na ‘To!”, also an MMFF entry, has grossed P157 million in its 2-week MMFF duration. The said film was the second highest-grossing Pinoy movie of 2010.
Previous Box-Office King John Lloyd Cruz, who reigned for 3 consecutive years, had 2 box-office hits for 2010. His movie “My Amnesia Girl”, opposite Toni Gonzaga, raked in P144.8 million. His movie “Miss You Like Crazy”, opposite Bea Alonzo, had a total gross of P143.25 million. If you are to sum it up, John Lloyd Cruz delivered P288.05 million at the box-office for 2010.
Unfortunately, the titles Box-office King and Queen are being based from the highest-grossing single movie of a male and female lead that’s why John Lloyd Cruz was dethroned.
The 42nd Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Awards night is happening on May 8 at the RCBC Theater in Makati City.
