“Babe I Love You” Only Made P16.5M on First Week of Showing

The box office returns of Star Cinema and Viva Entertainment’s co-production, the Sam Milby and Anne Curtis feature “Babe I Love You” grossed a measly and below average cume of P16.5 million on its first week of showing. Comparing to the two previous movies produced and released by Star Cinema for 2010 — Paano Na Kaya? starring Gerald Anderson and Kim Chiu, and Miss You Like Crazy starring John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo — the results of Babe I Love You is weak. Blame it on Clash of the Titans, we guessed, because the Sam Worthington Greek epic movie pitting gods and demigods earned a whopping P47.3 million over the same weekend.

‘Miss U’ Hits P140.1M, ‘Babe, I Love You’ Clashes with ‘Titans’

The John Lloyd-Bea starrer “Miss You Like Crazy” has already grossed P140.1 million on its 5th week. “Babe, I Love You” clashed with Hollywood biggies.

For the weekend March 24-28, 2010, Box Office Mojo reported that Dreamworks’ critically-acclaimed animated film “How to Train You Dragon” soared on its second week beating erstwhile leader “Alice in Wonderland.” The live-action Disney adaptation helmed by Tim Burton ruled Philippine box office for 3 weeks. It already earned P128.69 million in 4 weeks. On the other hand, the “Dragon” movie raked-in P27.9 million in 2 weeks.

The top-grossing film of 2010, so far (with the exception of Avatar which opened December last year), is Star Cinema’s “Miss You Like Crazy” grossing P140.1 million in 5 weeks. Running in second is Alice in Wonderland with P128.69 million followed by Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief with P91.25 million.

Yesterday (Black Saturday), Star Cinema’s 3rd offering for 2010–Babe, I Love You–opened in theaters nationwide. It received a grade of “B” from the Cinema Evaluation Board (B) thereby earning a 65% off the amusement tax. It will surely help the film since it went head to head with the anticipated Hollywood epic “Clash of the Titans” which also opened yesterday dominating the number of cinemas across the country.

Can Sam Milby and Anne Curtis‘ “Babe, I Love You” subsist with the challenge? Can it even surpass the gross of Kimerald’s Paano Na Kaya?

What do you think?

Anne Curtis Wardrobe Malfunction in Boracay, Exclusive Nahubaran Photo!

AccessPinoy received a photo from a reader showing Anne Curtis’ wardrobe malfunction incident in Boracay — a snapshot nang nahubaran si Anne while performing a production number on stage.

This all happened during the taping of the second part of ASAP XV Boracay episode last Sunday, that will be aired this coming Palm Sunday. Anne and Sam Milby performed a production number for the promo of their soon-to-open Star Cinema movie “Babe, I Love You.” While doing their dance number, Anne ’s upper top got accidentally removed kaya lumugwa ang boobs ng dalaga. Buti nalang naroon si Sam who came to the rescue and covered Anne with his hugs. Anne reportedly cried out of shame and the entire number had to be re-shot kaya walang makikitang wardrobe malfunction sa Palm Sunday airing ng ASAP XV.

Kahit super bilis ng mga pangyayari, may nakapag-picture pa rin sa insidente, and the photo sa post na ito ay iisa lamang sa marami pang magsilabasan later on. Kaya stay tuned…

Alfie Lorenzo: “Anne, Ginawang P*kpok Para Lang sa Movie Niya” Bad Naman!

Sobrang madami ang nag-email sa amin about the Anne Curtis incident, everyone supporting the Kapamilya actress in the face of the wardrobe malfunction she experienced during her dance number with Sam Milby in Boracay during the weekend (Click Here to Read: Anne Curtis Wardrobe Malfunction in Boracay, Exclusive Nahubaran Photo!). Nangyari na ang nangyari, and it’s time to move on.

But wait, instead of moving on, binigyan kulay ng showbiz writer na si Alfie Lorenzo ang insidente. On his column sa Abante today, he wrote that Anne’s nip slip was a publicity stunt para mapag-usapan ang movie niyang malapit nang ipapalabas, ang “Babe I Love You” with Sam Milby. Honestly, tingin namin, below the belt ang mga paratang niya. Walang basehan lahat at malicious talaga. Read parts of his column and decide kung may taste ba ang pinagsasabi niya:

MATAGAL nang pinalulutang na diumano eh nagkabalikan na ang dating mag-sweetheart na Anne Curtis at Sam Milby now that they are back into each other’s arms simply becoz may movie silang ipapalabas na sa Black Saturday na “Babe I Love You”.

Eh kaso, hindi kinagat ang pautot ng Star Cinema.

Ayaw nilang maniwala na nagbalikan na sina Sam at Anne.

Kaya next week na ang labas ng movie nila eh hindi pa rin matunog. Natataranta ang Star Cinema. Kasi papano nga nilang ipapangalandakan na 20M ang first day nito, sabay kuha ng mga manonood sa premiere night ng libre at kukunan ng forever and ever na statements: “Ang ganda!” “Bagay na bagay sila!” “Uulitin ko!” “Ang guwapo ni Sam!”, etc. etc. na pang-eklay.

Then, the unexpected happened. (Uhum, baka naman sinadya ni Anne Curtis ‘yun hindi kaya?).

Sa Boracay habang nagteteyping ng ipapalabas sa Linggo ng zap (Asap) ay biglang lumuwa ang kanang boobs ni Anne at nakunan ng litrato ang suso niya reminding us of Didith Reyes na kumanta sa isang awards night na lumusot din sa manipis niyang gown ang isang suso niya!

Naging talk of the town tuloy si Didith at sumikat nang husto. So hayan at ‘yan ngayon ang scandal of the year na nagpalubog sa dukot-balls ni Angelica Panganiban sa balot-penoy ni Derek Ramsay. Eh ‘di pinag-uusapan nga ngayon itong si Anne Curtis.

Kaya may promo slant na ang movie nila ni Sam na “Babe I Love You”. So, the sweetness of Anne and Sam will last until the movie’s showing. Kaya si Sam moved on to his next assignment. ‘Yung concerts nila abroad ng ka-heartthrob niya. Tapos na ang pakiyeme sa publiko. So what happens when Anne Curtis starts shooting her movie with Richard Gutierrez? Richard was Anne’s former boypren na kahalikan pa niya sa naka-park na kotse sa Baclaran, debah? Remember?

Ngayong magkatambal uli ang dalawa, anong gimik naman ang gagawin? Nagkabalikan na naman ang dalawa? What? After Sam si Richard naman?

Eh ‘yan lang naman ang puwedeng maging promo slant ng movie nila eh. Poor Anne Curtis, kawawa naman. Ginawang pokpok para lang sa movies niya? Isn’t there anything they can use to promote a movie at kailangan ang matinding eskandalo para mapansin at mapag-usapan ang pelikula? How so typically Filipino noh!

What do you think?

Viva Condemns People Who Posted Anne Curtis’ Swimsuit Malfunction Photo

Viva Artist Agency, the company that serves as talent manager of Anne Curtis, released a statement condemning all “unscrupulous individuals who have capitalized” on the actress’ swimsuit malfunction photo.

Anne Curtis had a swimsuit accident last Sunday, March 21, in Boracay during the taping of ASAP XV’s summer special episode. While dancing during the opening number segment of the musical variety show, Anne accidentally exposed her right breast as the right part of her upper swimsuit slipped. According to reports, Sam Milby rushed to cover Anne Curtis up, while the young actress burst into tears.

Unfortunately, some people from the audience are taking photos and video via their mobile phones during the incident. Despite the production staff’s plea to delete the captured scene, the photo still broke its way to the internet, proliferated in social networking sites last Monday. The uncensored version of the photo was even posted in some blogs.

NALAMAN namin kay Viva Films Boss Vic del Rosario na sa January 29, 2009 na ang playdate ng Civil Status: Single, kung saan bida si Rufa Mae Quinto at kapareha ang sangkatutak na lalaki.

Sa press naman nalaman ni Boss Vic na interesado ang sexy comedienne na i-remake ang Working Girls.

Sa isa sa mga presscon ng Metro Manila filmfest entry na Desperadas 2, naikuwento ni Rufa Mae ang kagustuhang gawin uli ang movie ni Ishmael Bernal.

Kaya lang, nag-usap na pala si Boss Vic at ang Star Cinema at ire-remake nila ang nabanggit na pelikula. In fact, napili na ang cast.

Excited nga si Boss Vic sa cast na kinabibilangan nina Anne Curtis, Angelica Panganiban, Cristine Reyes, Toni Gonzaga at Kristine Hermosa.

Sa February na raw ang start ng shooting at director na lang yata ang kulang.

Nabanggit din ni Boss Vic na balak i-remake ng Star Cinema ang Bagets, pero mauuna sa TV bago ang pelikula.

Kumporme rito ang producer, dahil after 25 years, kailangan daw muling mapanood ang pelikula with a new cast.
