"In The Name Of Love" posts P89.87 million gross revenues in 2 weeks

"In The Name of Love", produced by Star Cinema and stars Aga Muhlach and Angel Locsin, managed to earn P42.56 million during its 2nd week despite facing a "giant" Hollywood movie in the box-office.

According to Box Office Mojo's latest box-office tally, Walt Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" earned a record-breaking P63.14-million gross revenues for its first weekend in the Philippines, an impressive earning in only 3 days (May 20 to 22, 2011).

It's already the highest opening weekend sales for any movie in the country this 2011, beating the previous record by another Hollywood film "Thor" which had 59.74 during its first weekend.

Among local films, Star Cinema's "Catch Me I'm In Love" posted the highest opening weekend with P52.95-million.

Adding P42.56M to its 1st 5-day gross the previous week (May 11-15), "In The Name Of Love" now has an accumulated 12-day total of P89.87M as of May 22, the 2nd highest-grossing Pinoy film so far this 2011, and definitely will pass the P100M mark.

For its 3rd week, "In The Name of Love" is now facing two giants: "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tide" and the new release "Kung Fu Panda 2".

"Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak!" Box-Office Gross: P21.89 million in 2 days

Star Cinema and M-Zet co-prod "Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak!" has been showing strong in theaters since its opening day last Black Saturday, April 23.

Box Office Mojo tabulation for the period April 20-24 shows that Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak! earned P21.89 million on its first 2 days.

That's quite a huge figure for a 2-day gross, and it's already an indication of a box-office success for the movie.

Probably by now, May 6, the movie, which stars Vic Sotto and Bea Alonzo, is already closer to a hundred million.

Meanwhile, "Catch Me I'm In Love" starring Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Anderson has already wrapped up with a total accumulated gross of P120.21 million after 5 weeks while the Robin Padilla-Mariel Rodriguez movie "Tum: My Pledge of Love" is still struggling in the box-office with only P5.16 million in 3 weeks.

'Catch Me I'm In Love' hits P100 million in the box-office: P108.38M in 3 weeks!

'Catch Me I'm In Love' starring Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Anderson has successfully passed P100-million at the box-office, becoming the first movie to achieve that mark in the Philippine Box Office this 2011.

It's also Gerald Anderson's first ever movie to reach P100M, while it's already Sarah's 3rd. The first two were "A Very Special Love" in 2008 and "You Changed My Life" in 2009 where she starred with John Lloyd Cruz.

It's also the first P100-million-earning movie of director Mae Cruz, who almost achieved it last year for the movie "Babe, I Love You" which had P96.34 million.

Figures from Box Office Mojo's show that Star Cinema/Viva Films' "Catch Me I'm In Love" has earned P108.38 million as of 3rd weekend, April 10, 2011, (19 days since it opened in theaters).

Meanwhile, "Tum: My Pledge of Love", a new movie released by Star Cinema last April 6, only earned P3.71 million on its first 5 days.

Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez movie 'Tum: My Pledge of Love' hit or flop?

Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez 's first ever movie team-up is reportedly not a hit, with only less then P15,000 ticket sales in some SM Cinemas.

That's according to Edgar Cruz in his article posted this morning on Stir.ph.

"Tum: My Pledge of Love" which opened yesterday reportedly earned P8,000 at SM Mega Mall, P11,000 at SM North EDSA, P14,000 at SM Fairview and P14,000 at SM Mall of Asia.

However, the figures coming from Cruz are as of 3PM yesterday and to be positive, more movie-goers might have watched the movie after 3 PM or on the evening.

Let's just wait for the official figures to know how much the movie earned on its opening day.

Probably the movie only earned less than 10 million yesterday, because if it was above P10M, Star Cinema Booking and Distribution would have announced it last night.

Just like what they did for 'Catch Me I'm In Love', Star Cinema announced right away via ABS-CBN's late-night show "SNN" that the movie grossed P15million during its first day.

But a high box-office figure isn't expected, 'coz as of today, April 7, "Tum: My Pledge Of Love" is showing only in less than 50 theaters nationwide, 22 of which are from Metro Manila.

"Tum: My Pledge of Love" which is directed by Robin himself has been Graded B by the Cinema Evaluation Board and Rated GP by the MTRCB.
