The Super Parental Guardians  is undeniably another box office success from duo Vice Ganda and Coco Martin. Without opening on an MMFF season, the film has still managed to pull in a huge number that no MMFF movie this year can achieve and is still playing in theaters outside of Metro Manila. What does this mean to this year's MMFF entries and the whole box office in the country? First of all, Both  The Super Parental Guardians and Enteng Kabisote 10 were rejected from this year's MMFF. This lead them to releasing both movies on an earlier date. Releasing on Bonifacio Day was proven to be a success. Parental Guardians  broke the record for the biggest opening day gross for a local movie. And the movie continued to lead the box office until Rogue One started playing. This should be good news right? If Vice Ganda can broke records 1 month away from MMFF season and can still play during the said festival, this would mean more money which is the first reason why they want to ent

The MMFF season has officially started. And as of 8PM yesterday (Christmas Day), Vince and Kath and James is (ofcourse) leading the box office race. The romantic comedy movie from Star Cinema will likely be in this position until the end of this race.

Vince and Kath and James  This year, Metro Manila Film Festival  has changed the game. And with this, surefire blockbuster hits such as  The Super Parental Guardians, Enteng Kabisote 10, and Mano Po 7  were rejected making the box office success of this year's festival uncertain. Which movie could become the next English Only, Please? Can these eight attract the huge family audience? Let's take a look at the official eight entries of the 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival.

The Super Parental Guardians Local blockbuster films such as  The Super Parental Guardians and Imagine You & Me  are also released on some international markets. But local outlets rarely gives data from here (even local box office numbers as well).And now, here are some international numbers for The Unmarried Wife  and the two movies said earlier given by  The Numbers   and Box Office Mojo . And yes, it is more likely that the data is not complete.

Another rejected long running MMFF movie franchise has opened in our theaters. Mano Po 7: Chinoy  starring Richard Yap in the lead role opened to a decent PHP 4 million  last December 14. This is lower than the previous entry, Mano Po: A Mother's Love 's PHP 6.9 million opening 7 years ago. But again, this didn't opened to an MMFF season like it usually does and Mano Po movies aren't really connected at all so this is basically within its cast lead by Mr. Yap. With Rogue One: A Star Wars Story  dominating the theaters, this is likely the counter-programming movie for the audience (alongside the still strong The Super Parental Guardians). Also, the  good reviews  it has been getting could also help the film to leg out before the MMFF season begins. Source: Abante

Moana The good times at the box office keep rolling. Three films all reach huge milestones in the box office. Let's start the breakdown, Vice Ganda's The Super Parental Guardians  has now passed the PHP 300 million mark as of December 8 (5 PM). Of course, the movie remains the number one movie in the box office right now. With another weekend coming, expect another huge addition to its numbers. The only problem coming from this movie is next week's Rogue One which will eat a huge part of its screenings.  Another Star Cinema feature The Unmarried Wife  passed the PHP 200 million mark and is climbing to PHP 250 million. As of December 8, the adult drama has collected PHP 246.9 million in the box office. It has now officially passed Angelica Panganiban-Dingdong Dantes previous film One More Try.  Meanwhile, Disney's Moana  also had a fantastic opening week in the country. After breaking Minions'  first day record for an animated film (PHP 24.9 vs. PHP 22

Audiences once again flocked to The Super Parental Guardians  yesterday (Sunday). ABSCBN is now reporting a PHP 246.9 million  5-day gross for the Vice Ganda-Coco Martin movie. This beats last year's PHP 200 million 5-day gross of Star Cinema's A Second Chance . Removing the PHP 150 million reported, Parental Guardians  has collected PHP 96.9 million from Saturday afternoon to Sunday. That's again an impressive number. It's almost on the heels of Hollywood Blockbusters' performance here in the country ( Batman v Superman  currently has the highest opening day record with PHP 86.65 million). Combining this number with the grosses from Enteng Kabisote 10  and Moana , this is overall an impressive weekend for the box office while individual reports for both movies have not been released yet.

The Super Parental Guardians It's day four in the battle between between The Super Parental Guardians, Enteng Kabisote, and Moana and as expected, The Super Parental Guardians  continues to rule the box office.

Fantastic Beasts Thanks to a lack of competition last weekend, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them  and The Unmarried Wife  continued to rule the country before The Super Parental Guardians  and Enteng Kaisote  enters the marketplace.

The Super Parental Guardians UPDATE (12/9, 4:44 AM): Disney is reporting a huge PHP 24.9 million  first day gross for Moana, breaking the record of Minions  (PHP 22.9 million) for all time biggest opening day gross for an animated film in the country. To see who got the big portion of the gross, click  HERE , UPDATE (10/1, 7:57 PM): TV Patrol reports that Guardians opened to PHP 75 million on its first day, higher than the previously reported PHP 68 million. It's a very early Christmas for Star Cinema. The Super Parental Guardians  opened to a smashing PHP 75  68 million (according to Star Cinema). This beats My Bebe Love 's PHP 60 million opening last year as the highest grossing opening day gross. One interesting fact is that Bebe Love  opened on Christmas Day (MMFF) while Guardians  opened on Bonifacio Day which also made people flocked into shopping malls. Also, it seems like Guardians  is also benefiting from a weaker than expected competition from Enteng Ka
