'Rings' tops foreign releases over 'My Ex and Whys' second weekend
It was an easy weekend for My Ex and Whys as its moved past $5 million (where $4 million came locally). Meanwhile, holdovers fell hard as Rings opened decently in the box office. Rings took the first place among Hollywood titles with PHP 15.42 million ($307 K) in 158 theaters. It's in line with the openings of Ouija: Origin of Evil ($300 K) . With stiff competition coming, it's likely that it ends around $500 K. Erotic drama Fifty Shades Darker added PHP 8.81 million ($175 K) this week. In three weeks, it has already locked PHP 168.5 million ($3.3 million) which can likely match its predecessor's $ 3.5 million gross by the end of its run. Keanu Reeves' John Wick Chapter 2 made PHP 4.23 million this week with a total of PHP 84 million in its three weeks in theaters. Sources: Box Office Mojo
