Box Office Faceoff: 'Love Me Again' vs 'One True Love'

Advertisements
Which movie performed better in the box office, Angel Locsin's Love Me Again or Marian Rivera's One True Love?

Love Me Again is still showing in theaters unlike One True Love thus we can only compare the two's 2-week earnings: (Note that Love Me Again had a 4-day opening week while One True Love had 5 days).

LOVE ME AGAIN (Land Down Under) starring Angel Locsin and Piolo Pascual
1st Week (4 days, January 15-18, 2009): P29,488,584
2nd Week (7 days, January 19-25, 2009): P23,716,474
2-WEEK TOTAL: P53,205,058

ONE TRUE LOVE starring Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes
1st Week (5 days, November 19-23, 2008): P32,975,234
2nd Week (7 days, November 24-30, 2008): P20,288,513
2-WEEK TOTAL: P53,263,747

It seems like Love Me Again is performing better than One True Love.

But, is Love Me Again really a 'flop'?

Maybe yes or maybe not. Just consider the fact that it was shot in Australia and that means high production cost for the movie. A movie shot abroad should be earning higher than that.

And also, as compared to the last 10 movies made by Star Cinema (in a 2-week period), it's one of the lowest grossing films.

1. ANG TANGING INA N'YONG LAHAT P171,000,000 (in 14 days)
2. SAKAL, SAKALI, SAKLOLO P122,893,166 (in 14 days)
3. A VERY SPECIAL LOVE P118,146,174 (in 12 days)
4. CAREGIVER P111,316,897 (in 12 days)
5. FOR THE FIRST TIME P107,865,797 (in 12 days)
6. WHEN LOVE BEGINS... P69,144,594 (in 12 days)
7. MY ONLY Ü P62,209,731 (in 12 days)
8. LOVE ME AGAIN P53,205,058 (in 11 days)
9. MY BIG LOVE P51,658,679 (in 12 days)
10. SUPAHPAPALICIOUS P36,222,757 (in 9 days)

Love Me Again is also in danger of not surpassing the over-all earnings of Piolo Pascual's last movie as well as that of Angel Locsin.

PAANO KITA IIBIGIN starring Piolo Pascual and Regine Velasquez
Total Earnings P78,128,341

THE PROMISE starring Angel Locsin and Richard Gutierrez
Total Earnings P82,605,000

  1. Love Me Again had premiered already abroad before it hit the big screen in the Philippines. According to reports, it already sold millions of movie tickets in various theaters in Austrailia,the USA and Europe.That is why, if we will compute their total earnings (including the international sales), Love Me Again already earned a lot for Star Cinema.
