Analysis: Thanks to the success of English Only... Please (both critically and financially), studios are trying to have the next English Only movie. These year two movies (removing My Bebe Love) - All You Need is Pag-Ibig and Walang Forever are trying to be that. Will they be successful this time?

Walang Forever stars Jericho Rosales and Best Actress Jennilyn Mercado. The title itself will already attract audience. Audiences might also want to see Jennilyn Mercado play her last year's role. Jericho Rosales doesn't really affect.

All You Need is Pag-Ibig

Meanwhile, All You Need is Pag-Ibig features an ensemble cast. Kris Aquino will pull a lot of audiences. Kim Chiu & Xian Lim is also proven to be strong before but with AlDub & JaDine on the other sides, this will be a big test for their power. Ian Veneracion & Jodi Sta. Maria, coming from their latest hit show Pangako Sa'yo, may attract Kathniel fans and viewers of the show. 

Thanks to big star powers, All You Need is going to trump Walang Forever by huge scale. But no worries, I think their is still a space for both of them to grow (and more for Walang Forever if its ends up good as English Only... Please)

Gross Forecast:

All You Need is Pag-Ibig: 180 million
Walang Forever: 90 million
