MMFF 2011 official entries announced

The 8 official entries for the 37th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF 2011) happening this December were announced today, June 17, 2011, by the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA).

John Lloyd Cruz dethroned as Box Office King

John Lloyd Cruz's 3-year streak as Box Office King has ended.

John Lloyd held the title beginning in 2007 for the movie "One More Chance", then the next year for "A Very Special Love" and again in 2009 for "You Changed My Life".

And for 2010, he almost retained the title with two box-office hits under Star Cinema: "Miss You Like Crazy" with Bea Alonzo and "My Amnesia Girl" with Toni Gonzaga.

But neither of the two films surpassed the earnings of the MMFF 2010 entries "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote", which starred Sen. Bong Revilla Jr and Vic Sotto, under GMA-Regal Films and "Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na 'To", starred Ai-Ai delas Alas, produced by Star Cinema.

Guillermo Mendoza Scholarship Foundation has officially announced that the Box Office King title for 2010 will be awarded to Sen. Bong and Vic, while the Box Office Queen is Ai-Ai delas Alas.

It goes to show that they already changed the ruling now. Instead of the December 31 cut-off, they used January 7 as the cut-off in determining who will be crowned with the titles.

(I smell politics here.)

December 31 Cut-Off:
1. My Amnesia Girl P144.8M
2. Miss You Like Crazy P143M
3. Si Agimat At Si Enteng Kabisote P123M (estimated amount only)
4. Here Comes the Bride P116M
5. Petrang Kabayo P115.5M
6. Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na 'To P109M (estimated amount only)

January 7 Cut-Off:
1. Si Agimat At Si Enteng Kabisote P159M
2. Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na 'To P157M
3. My Amnesia Girl P144.8M
4. Miss You Like Crazy P143M
5. Here Comes the Bride P116M
6. Petrang Kabayo P115.4M P115.5M

This news saddens the fans of both John Lloyd and Toni 'coz the movie "My Amnesia Girl" was shown for a month only, from November 24 to December 24, and had to give way to the MMFF 2010 entries which opened on December 25.

"My Amnesia Girl" could have earned more than its final gross if it was extended for 1-2 weeks, just like John Lloyd's previous films which made him a Box Office King.

So maybe next time, if MMFF is coming in a month, don't release a new movie.

With the new ruling, it's most likely that the Box Office King and Queen titles for 2011 and the coming years will go to the stars whose movies were shown for the MMFF.

Shall we expect Ai-Ai, Bong and Vic getting the titles year after year?

Yeah, Sen. Bong and Hayden were both there, but the latter came so late. (The two had a word war on TV late 2010 still in connection with
the 2009 video scandal.)

'Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote' conquers the MMFF 2010 Box-Office | Sequel already set for 2012

Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote has topped the MMFF 2010 Box-Office with over 30 million-peso gross receipts on its first day.

No official figures yet, but according to the estimates reported by Showbiz Central, the said movie which is co-produced by GMA Films, Imus Productions, Octo Arts Films, APT Entertainment and MZET Films had an estimated 1st-day gross of P32 million, the highest opening gross ever by a Filipino movie.

It isn't surprising because "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote" stars two MMFF Kings: Sen. Ramon 'Bong' Revilla Jr and Vic Sotto, whose respective movie in the past MMFFs were really huge hits.

The movie definitely also benefited from being given the chance to promote both on GMA 7 and in some ABS-CBN shows (thru news features and taped interviews with Bong and Vic).

MMFF exec committee Ric Camaligan was interviewed by DZMM this afternoon and he revealed the opening box-office rankings of the 8 entries (also reported by ABS-CBN News):

1. Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote
2. Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To
3. Dalaw
4. Shake, Rattle & Roll 12
5. Super Inday and the Golden Bibe
6. Rosario
7. Father Jejemon
8. RPG Metanoia

PEP's @scoopbox has unofficial figures, but with different rankings:

1. Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote P31M
2. Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To P20M
3. Dalaw P12.5M
4. Shake, Rattle & Roll 12 P11.8M
5. RPG Metanoia P5.1M
6. Super Inday and the Golden Bibe P4.7M
7. Rosario P3.2M
8. Father Jejemon P1.4M

***

And because of this huge success of "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote", Senator Bong has hinted that a sequel is coming possibly in 2012, not in 2011, coz he has Panday Part 2, which is being prepared for the 37th Metro Manila Film Festival 2011.
