“This Guy’s In Love With U, Mare!” poised to surpass “The Mistress” in box-office results

This Guy’s In Love With U, Mare! started showing in local cinemas on October 10th and its very well on its way to being this year’s highest-grossing Filipino movie. According to The Buzz, the Wenn V. Deramas-helmed movie made P100-million in its first five days in the box-office.

The Mistress and This Guy's In Love With U, Mare!

Box Office Mojo hasn’t released the figures for the week This Guy’s In Love With U, Mare! started showing but comparing the data revealed by The Buzz to BOM’s data on the gross of The Mistress on its first five days, the two movies will go neck-to-neck in getting the prestige of being the year’s top-grosser, or the all-time top-grosser at that.

The Mistress which stars the hit tandem of John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo made P106,273,381 from Sept. 12 to Sept. 16. On its fourth week, it has already grossed P254,852,084 and it’s still showing in some theaters on its fifth week.

It’s just a few million away from the highest-grossing Filipino movie of all time which is currently the 2011 comedy The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin.

Praybeyt Benjamin was also directed by Deramas and stars Vice Ganda, who topbills This Guy’s In Love With U, Mare! as well.

Will there be a new all time top-grosser this year? And if so, will it be The Mistress by Star Cinema? Or is it another Wenn V. Deramas-Vice Ganda movie co-produced by Star Cinema and Viva Films?
