‘For the First Time’ Earns 14 to 15 Million on its First Day
August 28, 2008 by cd
Star Cinema’s estimated first day gross of the KC Concepcion-Richard Gutierrez movie is between P14 million and P15 million.
The figure is definitely huge as other local movies usually earn that amount in 5 to 7 days. The amount is also comparable to the first day gross of Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz‘ movie “A Very Special Love.” Both movies had their grand opening on a rainy day and Star Cinema claims its a shower of blessing or a sign of good luck.
“A Very Special Love” is a certified box-office hit not only because it surpassed P140 million but also it became the talk-of-the-town. The critics loved the movie because it’s well-made, it’s highly entertaining and the actors delivered. The movie, by the way, received the highest grade of “A” from Cinema Evaluation Board.
The same can be said in the Star Cinema movie “For the First Time.” The people who were able to watch it’s grand opening have only good words to say about the movie. They love the chemistry between its lead actors KC and Richard. And you can say that the camera loves both of them because they look great together on screen. And as a bonus, the beautiful sceneries of Greece will leave you breathless.
Although some critics find the execution of the dialogues between KC and Richard a little off, the two each has moments of promise in the acting arena. Richard’s portrayal of a happy-go-lucky playboy is very natural and his acting is quite refined. He is in control. KC, on the other hand, has her “kikay” moments you won’t believe it’s her first time acting in a movie. And who can forget Candy Pangilinan’s funny antics. Although her scenes are limited, she provided a high amount of entertainment value in the movie.
Although following the romantic movie “A Very Special Love” is tough specially for another romantic movie, “For the First Time” has a special appeal on its own. For one, it’s the first time that two treasured possessions from rival networks teamed up. That alone is reason enough to watch the movie.
And if the first batch of people who watched the movie liked it and talk about it, then its bound to be a monster hit that could establish more “firsts” in the movie industry.

Hi, taga probinsya po ako and i have notice na mas maraming nakatune in sa ABS-CBN compared sa GMA. Nagtataka lang tlga ako bakit sa mga ratings no. 1 ang GMA shows. Pag may mga artista na pumupunta dito eh mas kilala nila mga ABS stars. No offense to GMA ha kasi di naman ako nanonood ng shows nla. TO ANY KAPUSO REPRESENTATIVE paki explain naman bakit sa mga probinsya mas nanonood sila ng ABS kahit hindi malinaw ang reception. Ang viewing population ba ng MANILA eh katumbas ng buong PILIPINAS na? No offense again, parang wala namang magandang iemulate kay MARIAN. What does she have that we have to “idolize” her? Di ko sya kilala kaya help me understand kung bakit I should look up to her. THank you.

the movie was ok.. not that exciting as jlc and sarah’s people would say “this is the last time” when they watch this movie.. i am kapamilya.. nut this movie is that lamest they have produced..
why richard… ohmygosh richard badly needs a freaking workshop…mygosh he’s annoying when he delivers line…and kc..argh.. she crires too OA. when richard broke up with her..she cries like she had a miscarriage! gosh!!!

ahm, anong balita sa box office gross nito?
August 31st, 2008 at 5:46 am
I encourage everyone to watch this movie!!! I totally agree with everyone’s positive comments (i.e., Ricky Lo of Star, Jayson Brizuela of Inquirer, Dine Recoma of The D Spot, and Karen Pagsolingan of PEP).
Apart from its highest grossing first day, its premiere night is the hghest ever in Philippine premiere nightn history as per the SM certification.
It’s worth your money!

Hindi naman nakakapagtaka kung ganon nga ang kinita ng pelikulang ito kasi trailer pa lang maganda na. And KC has a refreshing and beautiful face. Kahit na first movie niya lang ito ay hasa na siya sa acting. She has done stage plays as we know na mas mahirap gawin compare to movies. And she did well sa kanyang limited TV series na “I am KC” na talaga namang pinaghirapan. Kung di man mabreak yung gross ng AVL ni Sarah ay sigurado namang lalagpasa nito yung walang kwentang MBFGF.
