42nd Box-Office Entertainment Awards Official Winners: Bong Revilla, Vic Sotto & Ai Ai delas Alas

Last March 16, it was reported here in Starmometer that the new box-office kings are Bong Revilla and Vic Sotto (tie) and the new box office queen is Ai Ai delas Alas. Now it’s official!

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. However, John Lloyd is still awarded the Film Actor of the Year title while his “Miss You Like Crazy” leading lady, Bea Alonzo, is the Film Actress of the Year.

Meanwhile, Kapamilya stars Coco Martin and Toni Gonzaga are the Prince and Princess of Philippine Movies for the Star Cinema movies “Sa ‘Yo Lamang” and “My Amnesia Girl”.

John Lloyd Cruz is Toni Gonzaga’s Next Leading Man in an Upcoming Romantic Movie

The Box-office King and the Multimedia Star will be paired next in an upcoming romantic comedy by Star Cinema.

Toni Gonzaga might have lost a film project pairing her with Pambansang Idol Robin Padilla but Star Cinema offered her a new one! This time, her leading man is no less than the Box Office King himself, John Lloyd Cruz.

John Lloyd revealed this news last weekend after his meeting with Star Cinema. “I am very excited to work with her and makita kung ano yung madi-discover namin sa isa’t-isa sa loob ng project na ito. Kasi ang ganda-ganda ng kwento. Rom-com (romantic comedy) siya,” he shared.

This is the first team up John Lloyd Cruz (A Very Special Love, You Changed My Life) and Toni Gonzaga (You are the One, You Got Me, My Only U). The romantic comedy films they both did in the past with other partners, John Lloyd with Sarah Geronimo and Toni with Sam Milby, are box-office hits. This time they will be paired together in another romantic comedy project that spells “winning combination” for Star Cinema that will surely threaten to erase box-office records.

Star Cinema And Viva Films: Working Girls

Anne, Angelica, Cristine, Toni at Kristine sa remake ng Working Girls
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.

My Only U

The box-office tandem of Vhong Navarro and Toni Gonzaga will grace the silverscreen one more time with "My Only U".

Vhong and Toni's first movie together was the outrageous comedy "D Anothers" in 2005. The Joyce Bernal-helmed movie was a box-office hit.

This time, Star Cinema will bring Toni and Vhong again in the romantic comedy that is part of the film production’s 15th year anniversary offering.

Vhong's previous movies under Star Cinema were “Agent X44″ opposite Mariel Rodriguez and Pokwang; and Supahpapalicious opposite Valerie Concepcion earlier this year.

Toni’s previous movies were “You Are the One”, “You Got Me” and “My Big Love”, with Sam Milby as her leading man.

"My Only U" is helmed by box-office director Cathy Garcia-Molina, the one responsible for the monster hits "One More Chance" starring John LLoyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo; and "A Very Special Love" starring John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo.

My Big Love

Star Cinema is once again capitalizing on the tandem of Sam Milby and Toni Gonzaga in their newest Valentine offering - My Big Love. The Sam-Toni was quite successful in You Are The One, which raked in some box-office moolah. And now, that chemistry is bound to become successful as the film utilizes the charm and acting prowess of the two young stars to create another romantic flick. Throw in veteran Kristine Hermosa into the mix, and this sure is going to be a big hit.

You Are The One

You are the one is a story of NSO employee Sally Malasmas (Toni Gonzaga), who applies for a US Visa and gets denied. What is unusual, however, is that she gets the chance to meet again the dashing and handsome vice-consul, Will Derby (Sam Milby), who denied her visa, and gets even with him. This, obviously, gets her into trouble and brings these two opposing characters to a hilarious yet poignant journey that leads to love and romance.
The movie explores the insanities that comes with love, the impossibilities to be hurdled to make love happen and the self-confidence we all need to make love work.
