"When I Met U" Grossed 75.58 Million Pesos on its 1st Week

GMA Films and Regal Entertainment's Valentine offering 'When I Met U' ended its first week run with a whopping 75.58 million pesos according to Box Office Mojo.

The Richard Gutierrez and KC Concepcion starrer opened amazingly in SM City North EDSA cinema with an estimated 1.3 million pesos, marked the second biggest opening day income of all time next to Star Cinema's 'Ang Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat'.

In the weekend-gross report, however, When I Met U has reportedly earned 32.46 million pesos. It is not clear however if the figure represents Friday to Sunday gross or if opening day on Wednesday and Thursday gross were included.

GMA Films reported earlier that the movie earned 25 million pesos on Valentines Day alone. This means that the possible first week gross of the movie is in the 70M to 80M bracket. Thus, the total gross-to-date according to Box Office Mojo is $1,598,750 or P75.58 M.

In comparison to Richard and KC’s first movie “For the First Time”, When I Met U is significantly behind because the Star Cinema movie registered 78.9 million pesos on its first 5 days.
