‘Catch Me…I’m In Love’ Hits P52.95-M in 5 Days!

“Catch Me…I’m In Love” is a certified box-office hit for surpassing the P50 million mark in less than a week!

For the weekend opening period of March 23-27, 2011, the Star Cinema romantic comedy has raked in P52.95 million, the highest opening for a local movie this year so far.

Although this is not the highest opening record for Sarah Geronimo whose film “You Changed My Life” opened with a whopping P97.89-M in 2009, it’s a different story for Gerald Anderson.

This could be the highest-grossing movie of Gerald for his career because “Catch Me” is expected to surpass the P100 million mark by week 2 or 3. His last film, “‘Til My Heartaches End” opposite Kim Chiu opened in theaters last year with P33-M at the box-office.

Vic Sotto & Bong Revilla Tied as Box-Office Kings, Ai Ai delas Alas is Box-Office Queen

John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo were dethroned. Vic Sotto, Bong Revilla and Ai-Ai delas Alas are 2010 Box-Office Kings & Queen of Philippine Movies.

Vic Sotto and Sen. Bong Revilla are tied as 2010 Box-Office Kings according to Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Awards committee. Sotto and Revilla’s MMFF collaboration “Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote” was considered the top-grossing Pinoy movie of 2010 although its screening was extended until January 2011. The fantasy-comedy movie raked in a total of P159 million in its 2-week MMFF duration.

Ai Ai delas Alas, on the other hand, is the new Box-Office Queen because her film “Ang Tanging Ina Mo, Last Na ‘To!”, also an MMFF entry, has grossed P157 million in its 2-week MMFF duration. The said film was the second highest-grossing Pinoy movie of 2010.

Previous Box-Office King John Lloyd Cruz, who reigned for 3 consecutive years, had 2 box-office hits for 2010. His movie “My Amnesia Girl”, opposite Toni Gonzaga, raked in P144.8 million. His movie “Miss You Like Crazy”, opposite Bea Alonzo, had a total gross of P143.25 million. If you are to sum it up, John Lloyd Cruz delivered P288.05 million at the box-office for 2010.

Unfortunately, the titles Box-office King and Queen are being based from the highest-grossing single movie of a male and female lead that’s why John Lloyd Cruz was dethroned.

The 42nd Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Awards night is happening on May 8 at the RCBC Theater in Makati City.

The challenges of the post-apocalyptic episode, “Gunaw”, fell on the hands of multi-awarded director Chris Martinez. Aside from writing the story and screenplay, Direk Chris also drew out the comedian in our Valentine Box-Office King side-by-side with one of the most favorite comediennes of our time, Eugene Domingo.

Adorable and cute child star Jillian Ward plays cupid as she plays Richard’s sidekick in My Valentine Girls. Her innocent wit and candid remarks provided a youthful glow in the duration of the movie.
