WORLD WAR Z SCORES NEW BLOCKBUSTER RECORD FOR BRAD PITT

The Brad Pitt suspense-thriller World War Z has made a big splash at the box-office as it set the title as the actor’s best ever first weekend opening movie. Debuting in 220 screens nationwide, it opened at #1, grossing over P88 M on its first weekend, despite competition from strong second week hold-over Man of Steel which had more screens. Top 10 screens were SM Mall of Asia (P3.84M), Trinoma (P3.82M), SM North Edsa (P3.55M), Newport (P3.22M), SM Megamall (P 2.96M), Glorietta 4 (P2.85M), Greenbelt 3 (P2.61M), Alabang Town Center (P2.43M), Power plant (P2.39M) and Eastwood (P2.16M).

The weekend receipts handily out grossed comparative figures of previous Brad Pitt action blockbusters Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Troy. It also scored the 5th all-time highest weekend opening for a Paramount movie in the Philippines.

In total, WORLD WAR Z has so far taken home an incredible $31,479,178 from Asia Pacific alone and $47,051,370 internationally in its first five days of release.
