Saturday Update: "Da Possessed" dominates, but not too big

While it didn't reached my expectations, Da Possessed opened up on top on Black Saturday.

According to Star Cinema, Da Possessed  opened to a strong ₱ 17 million. That's almost half of the opening of last year's It Takes a Man and A Woman (₱ 32 million) and in line with 2011's Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak! (₱15 million) which both opened on the same day (Black Saturday).

That may be a very good opening but with The Amazing Spiderman 2 coming next week, it should have opened higher because it may lose a big number of cinemas starting on Wednesday. For example: Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak! held on its second week but crashed on the third weekend (time when Fast Five opened).

For now, ₱27 million is locked for Da Possessed for its first 2 days though it can reach up to ₱33 million or more if it can hold today (Sunday).
