A new Marvel franchise has arrived and Filipinos warmly welcomed it. Guardians of the Galaxy opened to huge numbers. Meanwhile, Trophy Wife started soft.
Guardians of the Galaxy opened to a huge ₱ 103 million. That's a high opening for original Marvel movie. Competition seems to be slow this month. That gives Guardians a chance to hold in the next few weeks. A gross north of 230 million is likely.
She's Dating The Gangster continues its strong run. In its third week, it was off 67 percent to ₱ 22.44 million. So far, the romantic comedy movie has now earned a fantastic ₱ 250 million.
In third place, Trophy Wife opened to ₱ 20.05 million. That's an okay debut for non-Star Cinema movie. This is also an okay debut for a adult drama genre that is falling (3 Star Cinema movies and 1 VIVA movie are only the sucessful ones). With the regular second week drop, Trophy Wife should at least gross 50 million.
