GMA Films Claims My Monster Mom Hits P25M at the Boxoffice
July 9, 2008 by cd
Yesterday morning, we posted an article entitled “Regal Films and GMA Films Concealing the Box Office Gross of ‘My Monster Mom’?” Today, GMA Films released an official statement regarding the box office gross of the Annabelle Rama movie.
In the recent report of the American website Box Office Mojo for the box office results in the Philippines for July 2 to 6, 2008, the Regal Films/GMA Films movie “My Monster Mom” was not included. This prompted us to call the camps of both Regal Films and GMA Films and asked them about the performance of their movie. But they still have no data at that time.
Many visitors responded to the article with speculations that the alleged absence of the box office results of My Monster Mom was because it was a flop and that the producers are concealing the matter.
Today, according to an interview by Pinoy Entertainment Portal with GMA head of Corp Comm Angel Javier, My Monster Mom earned P25 million on its first five days.
Here’s the official statement of GMA Films regarding the matter:
“GMA Films is happy with and proud of the success of My Monster Mom, the comeback movie of Ms. Annabelle Rama. In its first 5 days, it grossed over P25M which makes it a box-office hit. It is also the number two movie nationwide, second only to the Hollywood blockbuster Hancock.
“But what makes the producers of the movie happier is the fact that we could see that the people who watched the movie enjoyed it tremendously. Those who have actually seen it, have been congratulating the producers and stars.
“The producers went around various theaters in Metro Manila during the first week and we were able to see how much laughter our movie was able to bring to the audience. This is very fulfilling for us. We are sure that Ms. Annabelle Rama is also very happy that she was able to bring laughter to the Filipino viewers especially during these hard times.
“It is very unfortunate that we have been hearing reports that some people have been maliciously trying to spread lies about the movie saying that it is not a hit probably due to their envy of the success of the movie. This saddens us because we have always believed in being supportive of the entire Filipino movie industry. It also saddens us because these people disregard the hard work and effort that everyone involved in the movie put in. Our industry is very small. We should all be happy for the success of everyone in it.
“In the end, however, we know that the true test of the success of the movie is the gross receipts it receives and the level of enjoyment it is able to bring to its viewers. We encourage everyone who have not yet watched the movie to watch it and see how much joy it can bring to them.”
If My Monster Mom has indeed earned P25 million from Wednesday to Monday, we will update the Philippine Box Office report for the said time period to the ff:

You can declare a movie a FLOP if the total cost (talent fee, production cost, other expenses) is almost break-even or lower than your budget against its ticket receipts. Masasabi ko lang dyan na nag-EARN ang movie kung ang total gross receipts niya is 30% more than the total costs. Base naman sa ni-declare ng GMA/Regal, di naman siya flop to think na matagal pa ang running na to. Huwag na kayong mag-away away.
Don’t compare the figures to Star Cinemas’ previous movies na talagang PUMATOK sa takilya. To summed it up: KUMITA pa rin ang pelikula ni Bisaya, di nga lang ganun kalaki.
TEAM KAPAMILYA AKO!

July 10th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
kumita naman pala….pep naman ang unang naglabas ng article about Monster Mom na 2nd sa box office ng walang basis….sila din ang gumawa ng ingay para mag research ang tao sa box office mojo website
strategy ba yan….parang patay malisya….inunahan nila ang lahat…bago pa may mag tanong…bakit wala sa mojo yung box office return ng MM….at the same time gumawa ng ingay para naman mapansin ang movie baka madagdagan pa ang kita bago maglabas ng figures….since yang ang declaration nyo bayaran nyo na lang ang tamang buwis
July 10th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
paborito ko si bisaya pero pep naman wag nyo nang lokohin ang tao kung wala kayong tinatago ilabas nyo para makita namin sa mojo wala namang masama diba?kaso parang multo sya di maaninag sa mojo
July 11th, 2008 at 3:25 am
BOYCOTT NA ANG PEP.. NA ANG NASA LIKOD E GMA!! E DI BA PURO MGA TAGA GMA UNG MGA LINKS NILA..BOYCOTT ANG PEP!
July 15th, 2008 at 3:45 am
Sino ngayon ang madaya? Kapal naman nila.Di ba sabi nila P40 milyon daw noong una? Bakit bumaba? Baka naman binabayaran na naman (remember the ratings) nila iyong maglalabas ng box office return para tumaas ang kinita. LOL. Kaduda-duda ito dahil bakit walang figures ang mojo? O well, kung hindi naninira, nanunuhol. Tatak GMA yan.
Correction! Hindi po maka GMA ang PEP. Pep is GMA itself. Iyon pong website designer ng PEP ay employee ng GMA. May purpose kaya nandyan ang PEP. Hindi ba nakapagtataka na may GMA news website na sila, may abante website na tapos may PEP pa? Kaya hindi reliable ang PEP para sabihin na sikat na talaga ang mga artista ng GMA dahil karamihan ng mga pepsters are GMA fanatics. Pag may naligaw na ABS fans, para bang may bayarang pepster para sagutin ang mga ito.

No wonder super skewed ang mga comments sa PEP. YUCK
