Box Office: King "Godzilla" dominates

Godzilla

Godzilla finally reached our country and it has done strong numbers. Meanwhile, The Amazing Spiderman 2 slides and Oculus debuts decent.

Godzilla opened to a strong ₱ 90.32 million. That's above with last year's summer original movies - World War Z (₱ 88.9 million) and Pacific Rim (₱ 83.02 million). While it will be hit hard by X-Men next week, it could still make past ₱ 175 million.

Spiderman 2 slides into second place with ₱ 32.5 million. In three weeks, the Spiderman sequel has already banked ₱ 429 million.

Opening in third place, Oculus grossed a decent ₱ 6.62 million which is nearly identical to the recent 2014's Devil's Due and Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones though it opened in slightly less theaters.With X-Men taking more screens next week, it will likely fade out.

Comedy movie, The Other Woman came in fourth place with ₱ 6.46 million. In fifth place, So It's You took a regular local movie drop. It was down 65 percent to ₱ 6.37 million and ₱ 30 million is still likely. 

Other Grosses:
Amy (2014) - ₱ 1.23 million; New Total - ₱ 1.23 million
Las Vegas - ₱ 0.75 million; New Total - ₱ 2.3 million
Brick Mansions - ₱ 0.67 million; New Total - ₱6.5 million

Box Office: "Spiderman" hangs into top

The Amazing Spiderman 2

Thanks to softer competitions, The Amazing Spiderman 2 continued to dominate the box office while So It's You and The Other Woman did decent business.

The Amazing Spiderman 2 fell 63 percent to ₱ 91.22 million. That's far from the first one's 30 percent drop but, it has already passed it as the second highest grossing Spiderman movie (Spiderman 3 is still the highest grossing Spiderman). With Godzilla coming next week, it is unlikely that can reach more than  ₱ 500 million.

So It's You

In second place, So It's You opened to ₱ 18.48 million. That's in line with Regal Films' recent movies. The problem is - can it hold in the next weeks? Regal Films announced that the movie grossed  ₱ 6 million on its first day (Wednesday) which means that it didn't hold in the next 4 days. So, above or below ₱ 30 million is likely.

Other Grosses:
The Other Woman -  ₱ 12.09 million; New Total - ₱ 12.09 million
Brick Mansions - ₱ 5.8 million; New Total - ₱ 5.8 million 
Da Possessed - ₱ 4.7 million; New Total - ₱ 122.07 million
Transcendence -  ₱ 0.49 million; New Total - ₱ 24.46 million
 Rio 2 -  ₱ 0.33 million; New Total - ₱ 112 million
