The Brad Pitt
suspense-thriller World War Z has made a big splash at the box-office as it set
the title as the actor’s best ever first weekend opening movie. Debuting in 220
screens nationwide, it opened at #1, grossing
over P88.7 M on its first weekend, despite competition from strong second week
hold-over Man of Steel which had more screens.
Top 10screens were SM Mall of Asia (P3.84M), Trinoma (P3.82M), SM North
Edsa (P3.55M), Newport (P3.22M), SM
Megamall (P 2.96M), Glorietta 4 (P2.85M), Greenbelt 3 (P2.61M), Alabang Town Center
(P2.43M), Powerplant (P2.39M) and Eastwood (P2.16M).
The weekend receipts handily
out grossed comparative figures of previous Brad Pitt action blockbusters Mr.
and Mrs Smith and Troy. It also scored
the 5th all-time highest weekend opening for a Paramount movie in
the Philippines.
The heart-pounding zombie
movie scored the similar records in other
Asia-Pacfiic countries like India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia & Hong
Kong. It also surpassed last weekend’s opening from Man of Steel in Malaysia
(+178%) & Taiwan (+41%).In total, WORLD WAR Z has so far taken home an
incredible $31,479,178 from Asia Pacific alone and $47,051,370 internationally
in its first five days of release.
In the Philippines, the
title is expected to hit over P180 Million on its second week with continued
strong word of mouth and repeat views still promising a long run.
‘WORLD
WAR Z’ is released and
distributed by United International
Pictures
through Solar Entertainment Corp.
Showing
in over 140 theatres nationwide.
