LOOK: Aling pelikula ang nanguna sa box office sa katatapos na 2019 Metro Manila Film Festival?

By Aedrianne Acar

Umabot nang halos PhP 1 bilyon ang kinita ng walong entries sa 2019 Metro Manila Film Festival ayon sa inilabas na datos ng Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) Executive Committee (Execom).

Ayon sa Instagram post ng Execom member at spokesperon Noel Ferrer, bahagyang mababa ang kinita ng filmfest this year dahil na rin sa pagtama ng isang bagyo at pagsasara ng ilang sinehan sa Visayas at Mindanao, dahil sa lindol.

Saad ni Noel, “The eight (8) MMFF official entries this year had a total gross sales of more than Php955 million which is only 4.5% lower than our target of Php1 billion, which is acceptable in the industry practice.

“Realistically, it would be hard to surpass last year's record gross in the box office because of the typhoon and the closing of some malls/cinemas in Visayas and Mindanao due to the earthquake."

Ni-reveal din ni Noel na apat na pelikula ang nakapagtalaga ng mataas na box office results. Ito ay ang Miracle in Cell No. 7, Mission Unstapabol: The Don Identity, M&M: The Mall the Merrier and 3POL TROBOL: Huli Ka Balbon!

Wowowin: Aga Muhlach, nagpasalamat sa lahat ng sumuporta sa 'Miracle in Cell No. 7!'
