"In The Name of Love", produced by Star Cinema and stars Aga Muhlach and Angel Locsin, managed to earn P42.56 million during its 2nd week despite facing a "giant" Hollywood movie in the box-office.
According to Box Office Mojo's latest box-office tally, Walt Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" earned a record-breaking P63.14-million gross revenues for its first weekend in the Philippines, an impressive earning in only 3 days (May 20 to 22, 2011).
It's already the highest opening weekend sales for any movie in the country this 2011, beating the previous record by another Hollywood film "Thor" which had 59.74 during its first weekend.
Among local films, Star Cinema's "Catch Me I'm In Love" posted the highest opening weekend with P52.95-million.
Adding P42.56M to its 1st 5-day gross the previous week (May 11-15), "In The Name Of Love" now has an accumulated 12-day total of P89.87M as of May 22, the 2nd highest-grossing Pinoy film so far this 2011, and definitely will pass the P100M mark.
For its 3rd week, "In The Name of Love" is now facing two giants: "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tide" and the new release "Kung Fu Panda 2".
