Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo is now number one in the Metromanila Film Festival.
MANILA, Philippines—As the crucial weekend grosses come in, Star Cinema’s “Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo” overtakes OctoArts’ “Enteng Kabisote 4” in the box-office race of the 33rd Metro Manila Film Festival.
“Sakal,” sequel to last year’s top-grosser “Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo,” posted P68.3 million. On the other hand, “Enteng,” fourth instalment of the fantasy franchise starring TV host Vic Sotto, earned P66.6 million.
Third place goes to Regal’s “Shake, Rattle & Roll 9,” with P41.6 million.
Imus/Ignite’s “Resiklo” is in fourth place, with P15.6 million; MaQ’s “Bahay Kubo,” fifth, P12.6 million; and Maverick’s “Katas ng Saudi,” sixth, P2.8 million.
As of Dec. 30, total MMFF earnings is P208 million.
Ric Camaligan, MMFF executive committee member, provided the latest box office figures.
Camaligan credits the festival’s “Cash sa Pelikula” promo for the good box-office showing.
“Sakal” director Jose Javier Reyes, who is currently vacationing in Boracay, says that he is happy with the strong performance of “Sakal” at the tills, but hopes “movies that are different will also be given a chance by moviegoers.”
“We can’t have a festival of sequels every year,” he notes “We can’t have ‘Enteng,’ ‘Sakal,’ ‘Shake’ and ‘Mano Po’ every year. I believe the success of ‘Sakal’ is a carryover from last year’s ‘Kasal.’ More than ‘Katas’ [which he also directed], I hope new films like ‘Banal’ which opens Jan. 1 will also do well.
