2', 'Feng Shui 2' continue to be the MMFF 2014 top grossers now with a
combined gross of P260-million
As announced on 'The Buzz' earlier, the 2 ABS-CBN-produced MMFF 2014
entries, 'The Amazing Praybeyt Benjamin' and 'Feng Shui 2', already
earned P172-million and P88-million respectively, as of 3PM today,
December 28, the 4th day of the festival. By tomorrow, it is expected
that TAPB will hit P200M mark, while Feng Shui 2 will pass P100M.
These movies are certified box-office winners, but sadly, they were
heavily snubbed at the festival's Gabi Ng Parangal last night. They
didn't win a single award. Was it intentional on the part of the MMFF
committee to not give these 2 any awards since they are already
lording the box-office? Maybe yes, but it could also be the other way,
since 2 other films were also empty-handed last night: 'Shake, Rattle
& Roll XV' and 'Muslim Magnum .357'.
It was the worst thing that happened for 'The Amazing Praybeyt
Benjamin' during the Awards Night. I was expecting it to at least get
nominations for Tom Rodriguez and Alex Gonzaga as Best Supporting
Actor and Actress, but sadly, their efforts were overlooked.
The nominees for Best Supporting Actor were Kean Cipriano for 'English
Only, Please', Joey Marquez for 'Kubot: the Aswang Chronicles 2', Roi
Vinzon for 'Muslim Magnum .357', Jose Manalo and Sef Cadayona for 'My
Big Bossing'. Marquez won.
Nominated for Best Supporting Actress were Cai Cortez ('English Only,
Please'), Lotlot de Leon ('Kubot'), Nikki Gil ('My Big Bossing'),
Chanda Romero ('SRR 15') and Carmi Martin ('Feng Shui 2'). Lotlot was
named the winner.
Is TAPB the worst among the 8 entries? It's the least nominated film,
getting just 1 nomination: Best Child Performer for Bimby Aquino Yap,
who however lost to My Big Bossing's Ryzza Mae Dizon.
Chito Roño's 'Feng Shui 2', though it also won nothing, somehow fared
better than TAPB, getting nominated in many categories, including Best
Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress. Roño
lost to 'English Only, Please' director Dan Villegas. Other nominees
for Best Directing were Enzo Williams ('Bonifacio'), Erik Matti
('Kubot') and Jerrold Tarog ('SRR 15: Ulam episode').
Movies who are underperforming in the box-office the past 3 days will
likely earn more now after collecting many awards last night. These
are Best Picture winner 'Bonifacio: Ang Unang Pangulo', with 8 awards,
and especially, 2nd Best Picture 'English Only, Please', which had 7
awards including Best Actor for Derek Ramsay and Best Actress for
Jennylyn Mercado, who was sooo hot last night. (Can't blame Manila
Mayor Joseph 'Erap' Estrada if he can't resist the urge while giving
the trophy to her.)
Derek won over Robin Padilla, Dingdong Dantes and Coco Martin, while
Jennylyn defeated Vina Morales, Erich Gonzales and Carla Abellana.
