'Just the 3 of Us' bags PHP 16 million on 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
