While Civil War  passed the PHP 500 million mark, Star Cinema's Just the 3 of Us has also passed an important milestone. Star Cinema is reporting that the John Lloyd Cruz-Jennylyn Mercado starrer has passed the 100 million mark. This is a very good number for a movie which has a tough competition. It would be interesting if the movie can pass PHP 200 million by the end of its run (local movies tend to drop roughly on their second week of showing). There are no new reports for This Time 's box office receipts. Previously, it was reported that the JaDine movie grossed PHP 15 million on its first day.

Audiences welcomed the new tandem of John Lloyd Cruz and Jennylyn Mercado. Just the 3 of Us  opened to PHP 16 million. Jolina Magdangal announced this on Magandang Buhay (May 5 episode). Although this is lower than Alonso-Cruz starrer A Second Chance  (PHP 43 million, but this is a much awaited sequel), this was ahead of 2016 Star Cinema films Everything About Her (PHP 15 million) & Always be my Maybe  (PHP 8 million). This also proves that Filipino movies can compete with foreign releases as long as they are targeting opposite demographic ( Civil War  is for action/adventure fans; Just the 3  for romantic fans). UPDATED: This Time opened to PHP 15 million on its first day

Starting off with this week's Civil War , big movies add heat to this summer season. Let's take a look at their box office prospects: 1. Just the Three Of Us , May 4 John Lloyd Cruz + Jennylyn Mercado (box office star + hot in the movies) equals box office success but its release date pushes it down to not earn the numbers that it can. Full analysis   HERE 2. This Time , May 4 Coming of from their TV hit, On The Wings of Love , JaDine is back to the big screen! But pitting with Just the 3 Of Us will reduce its capability to get general audience.

Captain America: Civil War is making waves around the country. It opened to huge numbers last Wednesday (full report  HERE ). But next week, there's another 'war' that's going to happen. Star Cinema's Just the 3 of Us  which stars John Lloyd Cruz and Jennylyn Mercado is opening against Viva Films' This Time which features the hit love team JaDine. Which side are you on?

It's Marvel Time! Captain America: Civil War is off to a strong start in the country.  Deadline  reports that the supehero pic opened to $ 1.5 million getting a massive 97% share of the marketplace. They are also reporting that the movie is 154% above Captain America: The Winter Soldier  but 4% below Avengers: Age of Ultron . This is below Batman v Superman 's est. 1.8 million opening though its unfair to compare that from Civil War  since BvS  opened on Black Saturday.

This is one exciting movie teamup for the summer! John Lloyd Cruz and Jennylyn Mercado in "Just The 3 Of Us." In the film, Jennylyn is a girl with a huge crush on John Lloyd's character. Both will face an unpleasant situation which will leave them with no choice but to live together. (C) Star Cinema Directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, "Just The 3 Of Us" is coming soon in cinemas
