‘Praybeyt Benjamin’ Hits P270.44-M in 2 Weeks
Praybeyt Benjamin is a co-production of Star Cinema and Viva Films and stars Vice Ganda in his second title role on the big screen. It also stars Derek Ramsay under the direction of Wenn Deramas of the “Tanging Ina” fame.
On it’s second week of screening, Praybeyt Benjamin is now only P6 million short of breaking the record of “No Other Woman” which had a box-office gross of P276.8-M in 5 Weeks.
Only on its third week, it’s safe to assume that “Praybeyt Benjamin” is set to become the highest-grossing Filipino movie of all time. But will it become the first Filipino movie to surpass the P300 million mark?
