  1. I saw an interview of Dennis he was so humble dinefend pa nya ang mmff, kesyo magandang location naman daw ang nabigay sakanila. And mas gusto daw nya na pataas ang bilang ng sinehan kaysa magstart mataas tapos kokonti din.

    1. Like ko yong sinabi niya about pataas. May point nga naman siya.

    2. Dennis Trillo is a box office poison. Hindi kumikita mga movies nya.

    3. 1202 Some of his movies did quite well naman. Enough for ROI. Hindi naman kasi siya produkto ng hype unlike nung paborito mo. Magaling siyang actor.

    4. Mukang walang bago sa movie ni Dennis kesyo napagbintangan yung character nya

    5. 7:07AM,ang hilig nyo sa rason na "di produkto ng HYPE", kasalanan pa nila na effective ang marketing strategy nila. Business pa rin yan. Importante sa producer yong kumita sila.

  2. There are 10 films in mmff kaya siguro naka spread talaga ang movies. Green bones is #1 on my list.

  4. Kahit few pa ang cinemas ng movie kung gusto ng manonood, pupunta sila kahit saan pa yan!

  5. Ang arte nyo! Puro kayo kuda pero di naman nanonood. Dun tayo sa alam nating kikita ang pelikula. Sa totoo lang tayo noh!

  7. Sa true lang tayo, di talaga magiging equal yan. 10 movies, e ilan lang ba merong cinemas sa isang mall? Pag maganda naman ang movie at napag-uusapan for sure may mga mag-oopen na cinemas sa movie na yun.

    1. Second to this. Commonly mga nasa 4 ang sinehan sa probinsya which ung iba pa nga ay tanging sa syudad or city lang merong mall/sinehan. Tlga may unfairness.

      Delete
    2. Subjective yung "maganda".

      Delete
    3. Ours has 6. 3 will probably only screen Vice Ganda’s movie. Same thing happened 2 years ago. They wanna screen what sells. It’s just the truth 🤷🏻‍♀️

  8. Dapat fair ang distribution

    4. 10:42 pag apat lang ang sinehan sa isang mall , anong magagawa nila?

      Delete
    5. Di nyo ata gets ung equal distribution. It doesn’t mean equal distribution ng theaters sa isang mall ang ibig nyang sabihin atleast same or dikit man lang ang dami ng theaters na showing ang mga entries ng mmff di gaya nyan na ang ibang entries 100 theaters agad sa opening while others halos 20–30 lang ang ibinigay,

      Delete
  9. hmmm. What if evenly distributed for the first week, then let the market forces decide? What if the mall only has 4 cinemas? will the movies be on rotation, say 11 am Green Bones, 2pm Breadwinner, 5pm Espantaho, 7pm Uninvited?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. This is actually a good suggestion... two to three screenings per cinema, and the screenings could be spread throughout the first week for establishments with lesser number of cinemas.

      Delete
    2. Hindi ko alam bakit di uso ngayon sa Pinas yung ganyang system na alternate movies per cinema. Dati naman sabi ng Lolo ko nung wala pang mga SM at yung mga sinehan is sinehan lang talaga sa probinsya, salitan daw mga pelikula nun. May double feature pa nga silang tinatawag or dalawang sine sa isang bayad.

      Now kung saan ako nakatira na bansa, limited din ang number ng cinema at nag aalternate ng ng pelikula. Yung Hello Love Again na pinalabas dito, may ka-alternate na pelikula din kung saang cinema siya pinalabas

      Delete
    3. The logistics of that will be a nightmare. Kawawa din booking system nito, i can imagine how they need to adjust the system, test, deploy, maintain. Most likely not something that's gonna happen this year or next

      Delete
    4. 2:27 ginagawa parin yan sa province but syempre if alam ng mall na blockbuster yung film like lets say avengers hindi talaga nila ihahati yan. Even sa states asa ka a film like moana topping will ever have an alternate.

      Delete
  10. Patas yan kung hangang Cinema 10 meron sa isang mall. Pero kung 2 lang ang sinehan mo syempre pipili ka ng tingin mo malakas. Ganon lang talaga.

  14. To be Fair dapat bigyan muna ng equal cinemas lahat ng movies! And then if they see the demand for the film at madaming nanonood dapat dun palang sila dapat mag ADD ng cinemas then bawasan ang cinemas ng isang movie kung wala namang pumapasok na tao!

    1. Or kung hindi man equal, at least maliit lang yung agwat nila. Hindi yung halimbawa, isang pelikula nasa 60 cinemas, yung isa nasa 15 lang. Doon pa lang, sinasabi na ng MMFF sa mga tao na, wag nyo nang panoorin yang pelikulang may 15 cinemas.

  15. Ang tanong bakit sali kayo ng sali?

  16. It's a business. Market forces and audience tastes will always come into play. In the US, big budget studio films tend to open wide, meaning in a huge number of cinemas. While indie or arthouse films open in limited release. Meaning initially in LA and NY and key cities, and then slowly rolled out across the rest of the country.

    1. Well true. Kaso festival kasi so ideally dapat equal opportunities lahat ng entries then after saka sila magdecide which ones to keep showing. Again, ideally. Sadly that's not what happens

  17. Ang masaklap pa dyan yung konti lng nga cinemas ng mall tapos yung 2 pa dyan e same movie ang ipapalabas.

  18. Greenbones at Uninvited papanoorin namin. Hanap kami ng sinehan na mayroong both.

    1. Kung gusto ng tao na panoorin ang movies, hahanapin nila yan.

      Delete
  19. I want to know th reason why... Agree ako na dapat lahat yan ipalabas sa marami pang sinehan pero baka dahil sobrang daming movies na ipalalabas at d na magkakasya ang lahat?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Business is business. Gusto lang rin kumita ng cinema owners kaya yung mas indemand na pelikula ang priority nila.

  21. right, kahit sa 1st week man lang

  22. Dark horse ang movie ni Dennis. Flop dyan kay ate bi at Judy an. For sure

  23. 2023 MMFF rewind hanggang kumita. Lahat flop. For sure the kingdom ang hit!

  24. Greenbones lang panonoorin ko among the entries.

    1. Me too. Kaso hihintayin pa namin na ipalabas sa cinemas dito sa amin. Hindi siya kasama sa first six movies na ilalabas sa only six cinemas here.

  25. Kung problem ang distribution of cinemas, lessen the number of movies/entries per year para maski papano mapaglapit-lapit naman nang konti yung bilang ng cinemas per film.

    Gets ko naman yung hindi equal. Business yan. Alam nilang mas malaki ang kikitain ng Vice Ganda film over let's say, Himala. BUUUUT. Maybe have a minimum and maximum number of cinemas per movie? Kahit during the 14-day run lang. May nakita akong data sa X (not final and official) - Breadwinner has 90+ (highest) while Himala has like 15 I think (lowest). Ang layo masyado ng gap. Others have like 70+, 60+, then yung sumunod na bracket na, nasa 20+ cinemas. Umpisa pa lang kasi, discouraging na sa mga kasaling pelikula. Discouraging din sa audience. Sa dami ng tao sa malls, gugustuhin na lang nilang mamili kung anong nasa menu na nasa harap nila di ba, kesa suungin ulit ang traffic, mahanap lang yung ibang pelikula. So in a way, the MMFF org is already dictating kung ano ang panonoorin ng tao and in effect, discouraging them to watch the lesser known/sikat entries. In a way, nawawala yung essence ng pagkakaron ng festival of local movies. Sana magcompromise din ang MMFF organization and not make it a 90% business.

  26. Business is business. Ganon lang talaga. They need to learn to make good films commercially attractive also. I believe may say din ang mga cinema owners to decide which movie to show so I do not know how much ang influence ng mmff dyan.

  27. Manood po tayo ng pelikulang Pinoy

    ReplyDelete
  28. bawasan nyo na lang mga entries.

    ReplyDelete
  29. i still remember yung taon na gustuhin ko mang manood ng entry sa MMFF, movies lang ni Vice at Bossing ang palabas sa amin. Tig-2 cinemas sila. Sana binigay na lang sa iba yung ibang cinema nila.

  30. I'll watch Green Bones kahit na konti lang sinehan, maghahanap ako.
