‘In My Life’ Hits P80 Million On Its 1st Week
September 25, 2009 by cd
After raking P20 million on its first day, the Star Cinema movie “In My Life” had a first week gross of P80 million.
When it was reported that “In My Life” had a first day gross of P20 million, expectations started to pour in that this film could be the second Filipino movie to surpass the P200 million benchmark after “You Changed My Life.” The John Lloyd-Sarah monster hit movie last February had a first day gross of P18 million and it became the first Filipino film to surpass the P200 million mark at the box-office.
And now reports came that the Vilma Santos comeback movie has now earned P80 million on its first week run. P80 million for 7 days is a remarkable achievement already but it’s not enough for the film to go as far as P200 million.
Ai Ai delas Alas‘ movie “Ang Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat” surpassed the P100 million mark on its first week but ended up earning P197 million in its whole run. So the forecast for “In My Life” to surpass the much coveted P200 million in Philippine Box Office has just got a little bit dimmer.
What happened with You Changed My Life was, it became the talk of the town. People who have seen it on first week delivered the news to those who have not seen it yet that’s why the film is still strong on its second and third week of screening. Not to mention that it received a grade of “A” from the Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB) that enticed moviegoers somehow assuring them that it’s an excellent film.
For the case of “In My Life”, the buzz about the film became weaker although it’s still doing well at the box-office as of this post. But it somehow lost the potential to hit P200 million by virtue of its P80 million haul on its first week.
Maybe the removal of the much hyped, much-awaited and controversial (torrid) kissing scene between John Lloyd Cruz and Luis Manzano hurt the film’s box-office potential a bit. And who could believe that the Cinema Evaluation Board only gave a “B” rating to this film that might have given the perception to movie-goers that it’s not an excellent movie, just a good one.

It doesn’t matter if In My Life will
reach 200 million pesos or not, the
movie is a huge box-office success,Vilma Santos of all the veteran
stars, is the only one who is still a
top box-office draw. What if Vilma didn’t play the role of the mother in
In My Life, lets say it was another
veteran star like Lorna Tolentino,
Dina Bonnevie, Hilda Koronel to name
a few, would the movie be still a box-
office success? Without Vilma, would
the ‘John LLoyd Cruz and Luis Manzano’
same-sex loveteam be accepted by moviegoers? The way fans supported the
John LLoyd and Sarah Geronimo love team in You Changed My Life which grossed
more than 200 million at the box-office? I don’t think so. Vilma’s
presence in the movie, no doubt about
it has added excitement and fans of
Vilma came out in full force.

yung dami ng tao sa in mylife compare sa you changed my life is somehow similar.
when i watched you changed my life in trinoma cinema 7, before the screening super haba ng pila, umabot sa may krispey kreme stall malapit sa ticket booth.
yung in my life okay lang yung pila. mahaba din sya. pero not as long as the YCML line in trinoma. plus yung mga nakpila pa sa IML is madaming naka-wheel chair.

Angel Locsin, ayaw ng Vilmanians! – Cristy Fermin
Posted on September 11, 2009 under Showbiz
HANGGANG NGAYON AY naghihintay pa rin ang marami kung ano ang sasabihin nina Luis Manzano at Angel Locsin tungkol sa balitang-balita na nilang paghihiwalay, pero hanggang ngayo’y tahimik ang magkabilang kampo, kaya nag-iisip ang ilang manunulat na baka gimmick lang ang kuwento.
Napaka-safe ni Luis sa pagbibigay ng pahayag, si Angel naman ay wala talagang sinasabi, pero patuloy ang pag-ikot ng istoryang tapos na ang lahat sa pagitan nila.
Gusto na lang naming isipin na siguro’y nirerespeto lang ni Luis ang pananahimik ni Angel, siguro rin ay naghihintay lang ang dalaga kung ano ang sasabihin ng aktor, kaya sa kanilang paghihintayan ay ganito ang nangyayari.
Pero marami palang tagasuporta ni Governor Vilma Santos ang hindi nagkakagusto kay Angel, hindi nila pinanghihimasukan ang damdamin ni Luis, pero kung sila ang tatanungin ay hindi sila paborable kay Angel para makarelasyon ng panganay na anak ng kanilang idolo.
Nu’ng minsan ay may nakausap din kaming nanay na nakatanaw lang sa mga kaganapan sa showbiz, ang kanyang sabi, “Parang natatakot ako kay Angel. Parang meron siyang itinatagong ugali. Parang hindi siya sincere. Parang meron siyang palalabasin.”

oo nga… at least 80 million in the first week? madami na yun… e ang tarot kaya? baka flop ulit…. bakit pa kasi gumagawa pa ng pelikula e flop naman.
September 30th, 2009 at 8:42 am
ano ba yung sinasabi nilang pad, sino’ng puma pad? ang moviehouses? paano mo bigyan ng mga libreng tickets ang mga milyun-milyong moviegoers? yung premiere night ng yakyak at demonyika ang humakot ng fans na kanilang mga empleyado
September 30th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Matawa-tawa pa si Vilma Santos habang nagkukuwento sa The Buzz na may nawawalang member of the family ang kasamang producer sa States. She’s so insensitive. Siya kaya ang mawalan ng kapamilya ano kaya ang maramdaman niya. Amid the Ondoy tragedy, the gall of her to brag about the success of her movies’ US screenings. Di man lang sya nakaisip umuwi agad para dumamay sa kababayan sa Batangas.

i love the movie, ndi masasayang pera niyo npakaganda ng movie….

isa ako sa mga tagahanga ni ms. vilma santos at ikakasaya ko kung may mabasa akong articles tungkol sa kanya. gusto ko lang malaman kung magkano talaga ang total gross ng in my life at kung pang ilan ito sa top grosser ng mga pelikulang pilipino.

Up to these years malakas pa rin si Vilma Santos sa box office. Being the longest reigning Box Office Queen of Philippine Cinema, nawala na ang mga katapat niya at minsan na lang siyang gumawa ng pelikula, jackpot pa rin ang resulta at 2nd sa overall top earning movie of the year 2009. More movies for 2010 for the greatest actress of all time and seasons!
