After watching World War Z at the Philippine premiere last June 18, I enjoyed the movie and gave it a great review rating.
After just less than 2 weeks at the Philippine box office, it scored a new blockbuster record for Brad Pitt.
Here is a press release from Solar Entertainment Corporation about the success of the movie.
WORLD WAR Z SCORES NEW BLOCKBUSTER RECORD FOR BRAD PITT
The Brad Pitt suspense-thriller World War Z has made a big splash at the box-office as it set the title as the actor’s best ever first weekend opening movie. Debuting in 220 screens nationwide, it opened at #1, grossing over P88 M on its first weekend, despite competition from strong second week hold-over Man of Steel which had more screens. Top 10 screens were SM Mall of Asia (P3.84M), Trinoma (P3.82M), SM North Edsa (P3.55M), Newport (P3.22M), SM Megamall (P 2.96M), Glorietta 4 (P2.85M), Greenbelt 3 (P2.61M), Alabang Town Center (P2.43M), Powerplant (P2.39M) and Eastwood (P2.16M).
The weekend receipts handily outgrossed comparative figures of previous Brad Pitt action blockbusters Mr. and Mrs Smith and Troy. It also scored the 5th all-time highest weekend opening for a Paramount movie in the Philippines.
The heart-pounding zombie movie scored the similar records in other Asia-Pacfiic countries like India, Vietnam Indonesia, Malaysia & Hong Kong . In total, WORLD WAR Z has so far taken home an incredible $31,479,178 from Asia Pacific alone and $47,051,370 internationally in its first five days of release.
In the Philippines, the title is expected to hit over P180 Million on its second week with continued strong word of mouth.
WORLD WAR Z is a United International Pictures release through Solar Entertainment Corporation release and is showing nationwide in over 140 theaters.
If you have not seen the movie yet, you are missing a great movie to watch. See the movie, and you will definitely enjoy and have a good time!
