"You Changed My Life" Earned 100 Million Pesos in Less Than a Week

Star Cinema’s record-breaking movie “You Changed My Life” starring the box-office tandem of John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo earned a record-breaking 27 million pesos last Saturday, February 28, to be on track of surpassing the 100 million pesos mark on its first week of screening.

On it’s first day of showing, the movie which received a "A" rating from Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB), has earned an estimate of 18 million pesos according to Star Cinema Booking and Distribution Department. Although Star Cinema did not reveal the box-office outcome for Thursday, Friday and Sunday, showbiz observers are optimistic that the movie will hit 100 million pesos in box-office receipts come Monday.

Based from the public’s overwhelming response in theaters across the country last weekend, You Changed My Life is on track to surpass the earning of "A Very Special Love", the no. 1 movie of 2008. The first John Lloyd Cruz-Sarah Geronimo starrer has grossed a total of 180 million pesos in total receipt.
