Manny Pacquiao’s Wapakman bombs in the box-office

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Boxing champ Manny Pacquiao may be enjoying worldwide recognition and international accolades, but his acting career seems to be going down the drain.

Proof of this was the dismal showing of his latest film, “Wapakman,” in this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).

As of December 29, 4th day of its screening, Pacquiao’s comic fantasy tale has earned P3 million only in box office receipts, according to Alex Romero, a staff of Solar Entertainment, the film’s producing arm.

This was measly compared to other MMFF entries.

As of press time, Imus Productions and GMA Films’ “Ang Panday” has already earned a whooping P50 million. OctoArts Films’ “Ang Darling Kong Aswang” and Regal Multi Media’s “Shake, Rattle & Roll XI” followed closely.

Drama pieces like Star Cinema’s “I Love You, Goodbye” and Regal Entertainment’s “Mano Po 6: A Mother’s Love,” and RVQ Productions’ comic offering, “Nobody, Nobody but Juan,” have also grossed multi-million pesos in box-office sales.

“Wapakman” also failed to clinch any prize at the 35th MMFF awards night.

Understandably, Pacquiao is affected by this news, according to Wilson Tieng, Solar’s bigwig.

Tieng said he advised the international boxing sensation to just “take it lightly.”

“He’s very realistic about it. It affects him but I told him to just take it lightly,” the Chinese businessman recounted.

Tieng declined to comment when asked if the raging controversy about Pacquiao’s rumored romance with co-star Krista Ranillo has contributed to “Wapakman’s” dismal performance at the box office.

Tieng is optimistic though that “Wapakman” can still make up the losses once it’s shown abroad.

“We will show the film abroad and make money there,” said Tieng.

Although devastated by the performance of his film project, Tieng is still thinking of other ways to recoup his investment.

“We also have other bookings in other areas of the country,” he said.

Meanwhile, Ric Camaligan, MMFF executive committee member, announced that this year’s festival has grossed a total of P150 million on its 4th day.

“We are targeting P500 million gross this year,” Camaligan exclaimed.

The results of Monday’s awards night, he also noted, have significant impact on the current and future showing of all 7 entries nationwide. He expected that all the awarded films and performers would draw more support from moviegoers.

The watches replica brand A. Lange & Sohne underwent replica franck muller on December 1990 when Walter Lange registered the German brand once again. With the release of such models as the Lange 1, the Arkade, the Saxony and the Tourbillon in 1994, lovers of the mechanical replica watches movement and complications were not disappointed by these classically built timepieces. What Is A bell and ross? In order to restart the replica rolex submariner feature on most chronograph mens breguet replica, they must first be reset. “Flyback chronographs” are chronograph rolex daytona replica that can be restarted while still running, (without having to go through the usual series of presses). concord watches display the day, month and year, sequentially, but must be reset five times during the year, (on the first day of March, May, July, October and December), as well as on leap years. A perpetual calendar replica breitling watches is based on the Julian calendar (as opposed to the Gregorian calendar upon which that most of us rely). This iwc replica makes allowances for leap years and therefore only need to be corrected three times in 400 years! Also called ” rolex submariner replica“, repeaters were first created before the advent of electricity, allowing people to check the time even when it was not possible to flip a light switch or read an illuminated dial. These bell and ross replica convey the time by striking u-boat watches, much the same as a bell tower. Minute repeaters are by far one of the most complicated and intricate bell & ross replica styles available, and frequently range from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. rolex submariner exception to this rule is the Citizen Calibre 9000. Available at longines watches, the u boat replica 9000 offers perpetual iwc watches, rolex daytona replica, and minute panerai replica for well under $400. Other popular replica rolex daytona complications include moon phase displays and multiple time zones. Some hublot watches have panels that show the inner workings of the u boat watches, or other more obscure and specialized rolex milgauss replica.
