'Mano Po 7: Chinoy' opens to decent PHP 4 million
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
