“Prince Caspian” Grosses P 45-M, opens at no. 1 in RP

-

Disney's "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" is King of Philippine box-office, ruling at No. 1 with a five-day (June 4-8), nationwide opening weekend of P44.97-million.  This was announced yesterday by Victor R. Cabrera, general manager of Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. which sub-distributed the film for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International.

That debut figure breaks two records in the Disney books: it shatters the opening weekend of 2005's "Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" at P40.74-million, and claims the all-time, fourth biggest opening for a Disney film.

The Top 20 cinemas that posted the highest receipts for "Prince Caspian" are Trinoma (P2.54-M), SM North EDSA (P1.83-M), SM Mall of Asia (P1.78-M), SM Megamall (P1.68-M), Glorietta 4 (P1.54-M), Power Plant (P1.37-M), Gateway Cineplex (P1.317-M), SM Cebu (P1.312-M), Greenbelt III (P1.29-M) and Alabang Town Center (P1.11-M).

They are followed by Robinson’s Ermita (P1.07-M), Ayala Cebu (1.05-M), Greenhills (P1.01-M), Shangri-la Mall (P956,407), Festival Mall (P925,134), Robinson’s Galleria (P834,940), Eastwood (P807,821), SM Fairview (P757,133), Sta. Lucia East (P707,352) and SM Baguio (P706,968).

The enchanting characters of C.S. Lewis' timeless fantasy come to dazzling life again in "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian." This time out, the Pevensie siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy—are magically transported from World War II era England to Narnia through a tube station near London's Trafalgar Square, embarking on a perilous new adventure and an even greater test of their faith and courage.

One year after the incredible events of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," the former Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway realm, only to discover that more than 1,300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has faded into legend. The land's magical talking animals and mythical creatures exist as little more than folk tales to the Telmarines, a race of humans led by the merciless Lord Miraz. The mighty lion Aslan has not been seen in a thousand years.

The four children have been summoned back to Narnia by Caspian, the young heir to the Telmarine throne, to combat his evil uncle Miraz. Still playing across the Philippines, "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International through Columbia Pictures.
