MANILA, Philippines - Clash of the Titans solidified its blockbuster status in Philippine box-office as it reached the milestone P200-mark last April 25 after only three weeks, becoming the year’s most successful film to date. This was announced by Francis Soliven, GM of Warner Bros. (F.E.), Inc. which distributed the film.
Clash attained the milestone Sunday when it posted a cumulative gross of a staggering P201.58-M. The film’s sensational run propelled Warner Bros.’ year-to-date earnings to reach a jolting P515.89-M, which is quite impressive since it’s only four months into 2010.
“This is the first time in local history that a film distributor conquered the P500-million mark in under four months,” says Soliven.
Aside from Titans, the studio’s other certified box-office successes were February’s teen fantasy Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief (which Warner distributed for Twentieth Century Fox) which grossed P94.24-M, January’s action-adventure Sherlock Holmes (P53.18-M) and the comedy Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (P51.96-M), as well as the ensemble romantic comedy Valentine’s Day (P34-M), released last February.
