‘Starting Over Again’ Grosses P307.2-M in 2 Weeks
“Starting Over Again” is posed to trump “Bride for Rent” as the no. 1 Pinoy movie for 2014…so far. In less than 2 weeks, it managed to surpass the elusive P300 million-mark and entered the list of Top 10 Highest-Grossing Filipino Movies of All Time.
Box-office success wasn’t the fate of Viva Films’ first book-turned-movie–“ABNKKBSNPLAko?! The Movie”–which starred Jericho Rosales. The Bob Ong creation only grossed P8.6-million during its screening despite the “A” grade given by the Cinema Evaluation Board.
Two more Pinoy movies did not perform well at the box office despite expectations: “Sa Ngalan ng Ama, Ina, at mga Anak” and “Basement,” were reportedly pulled out in some theaters even before it can complete a one-week run.
Here are the Top 10 movies in the Philippines for the time frame February 19-23, 2014 according to Box Office Mojo:
