Update MMFF 2014 as of January 1. "English Only, Please" Replace "Kubot" at Number 4 Spot for 2014 MMFF Box Office
The lead actor and actress of "English Only, Please" Derek Ramsay and Jennylyn Mercado who won Best Actor and Actress last December 27 has done wonders especially for the movie-goers and for the box-office performance for 2014 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).
The movie which is directed by Dan Villegas bags 7 trophies including Best Director, Best Screenplay and Second Best Picture. The opening day for "English Only, Please" in cinemas was not quite good in terms of the box-office. From one the bottom four at the start of the filmfest, the romantic comedy has moved up to number four as of Thursday, January 1.
MMFF Executive committee Dominic Yu told Yahoo Philippines that the list of the Top Four movies as announce by MMDD (Metropolitan Manila Development Authority) Chairman Atty. Francisco Tolentino last December 26 has remained the same except for "English Only, Please" which replace the entry of Kapuso star and lead actor Dingdong Dantes "Kubot: The Aswang Chronicle 2" at the number four spot.
As of January 1, The Top Four MMFF entries are “The Amazing Praybeyt Benjamin,” “Feng Shui 2,” “My Big Bossing” and “English Only, Please,”
However, Du did not say just how much the Top Four entries has earned. But he revealed that the annual filmfest has already earned P701-million as of January 1, 2015, surpassing its gross box-office receipts in January 1, 2014 by around five percent.
The MMFF, which is now on its 40th year, opened last Christmas day and will end on Wednesday, January 7.
