cast of Gods of Egypt Box Office Mojo is reporting a PHP 115 million opening for Zoolander No. 2 but Deadline.com  is reporting a $ 3.2 million (est. 140+ million) overseas gross of Zoolander No. 2  for this weekend so the numbers are likely to be inflated. It may be the first 'flop' of 2016 but there is a strong interest here in the country for Gods of Egypt . The fantasy pic debuted at 1st place with PHP 81 million. That's a strong opening for an original pic here in the country. This proves that the reviews and negative buzz over the film didn't stop the moviegoers to watch the pic. Social engagement for the movie has been strong in the country.

Deadpool (picture from: Screen Rant) The world is talking about Deadpool and Philippines is no exception. The R-rated Marvel superhero debuted to PHP 145.96 million. That's a very remarkable opening for an R rated movie here in the country. The opening is also way higher than last year's Fifty Shades of Grey opening (though that movie were shown in less screens). A lot of factors can be attributed to this fantastic opening. One, it has a very strong social engagement. Ever since the movie was revealed, social media went outburst and in the past few weeks, the talk is all about Deadpool . Two, the movie opened on Valentine's Day which makes it a top choice for couples (adult couples or even teen couples). Lastly, it's a Marvel movie. Marvel movies are strong here in the country and Deadpool also gets help from that.
