The movie got the most number of cinemas among the entries with over 200, so naturally it would earn more than the other entries.

But then again cinema owners know what movies to show that would give them more money.

The Vic Sotto-Piolo Pascual-starrer The Kingdom is said to be the 2nd top-grossing movie so far, followed by Judy Ann Santos' Espantaho and the Vilma Santos-Aga Muhlach-Nadine Lustre-led Uninvited. All 3 movies have been showing in 100+ cinemas since the MMFF opened.

Producers of the other entries are hoping to get more number of cinemas after the MMFF awards night (Gabi ng Parangal) on Dec. 27, considering they get awards.

Green Bones starring Dennis Trillo and Ruru Madrid started with 43 cinemas on the 1st day, and had additional 14 cinemas on the 2nd day. The movie became a trending tppic on social media on Christmas Day because of the cast's superb acting.

Meanwhile, the musical Isang Himala starring Aicelle Santos lost 8 cinemas on the 2nd day from its original 32.
