The MMFF Execom, along with the producers of the festival entries plus the theater representatives have agreed not to release any actual figures and rankings so as not to create a bandwagon effect on the viewers.
We encourage everyone to support ALL the 8 entries because we are as strong as our weakest film.
We are very happy to say that a large part of the Filipino audiences have gone back to the theaters again this Christmas and we have exceeded even the record 1st day box office gross of MMFF 2015.
We are looking forward to more and more people watching ALL the MMFF entries until January 7.
MMFF – Magkaisang Mapaunlad ang Filipino Films!!!
