Philippine Box Office 2015: What's the 1st P100M-earning movie of the Year?

Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla star in a Valentine movie, which could be the 1st P100M-earning Pinoy film this 2015
The 2015 Philippine Box Office got off to a great start, thanks to a few good movies from Hollywood, which have been doing great so far,
such as 'Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb', 'Seventh Son' and 'Taken 3', one of them even became the 1st movie this 2015 to hit the
P100-million mark in the country's box-office chart.
20th Century Fox Philippines revealed in a statement released to
Mykiru that 'Taken 3' has tallied P107M from over 200 screens within 5
days since it opened last January 14. The action flick starring Liam
Neeson will easily become the highest-grossing film from the 'Taken'
franchise: the 1st "Taken" in 2009 had P8M after 3-week showing, while
"Taken 2", which was shown for 7 weeks in 2012 collected Php 139.8
million.
Other January releases 'Night at the Museum 3', 'Seventh Son', this
week's 'American Sniper' and next week's 'Into the Woods' might soon
follow 'Taken 3' as P100M-earning movie.
Local film industry on one hand is yet to have its first legitimate
hit. So far, 2 Pinoy movies already missed ('Tragic Theater', 'Edsa
Whoolworth'), not like last year, when at the same point, there was
already a hit locally-produced film: the Kim Chiu and Xian Lim movie
'Bride of Rent', which broke January records with P100M 4 days after
it opened on Jan. 15 to a huge final gross of P326M - the biggest ever
in the month of January and the 3rd biggest in 2014.
What could be the first Pinoy movie hit this 2015? Is it next week's
'Halik Sa Hangin', starring Gerald Anderson, Julia Montes and JC De
Vera?
Possible. Though it won't be a super hit like 'Bride For Rent', it has
an appealing trailer and intriguing story which could bring many
moviegoers to theaters starting January 28. At least, it will finally
start a string of hits for Star Cinema this year, to be followed by
its Valentine 2015 offering, the movie starring Kathryn Bernardo,
Daniel Padilla, Gabby Concepcion and Lorna Tolentino. This KathNiel
movie opening this February has the clear potential of becoming the
1st P100M-earning Filipino movie this year.
Next month actually is gonna be loaded with a slew of potential hits,
though they're not locally produced: 'Jupiter Ascending' (Feb. 5),
'Paddington' feat. Xian Lim as the voice of Paddington bear (Feb. 11),
'Fifty Shades of Grey' (Feb. 11) and Angelina Jolie's 'Unbroken' (Feb.
18).
