The MMFF 2024 movies have surpassed the Php 800 million mark in terms of total earnings.

MMFF 2024 – The total earnings of the 10 official entries of the film festival have reached the Php 800 million mark.

As of Tuesday, January 14, Vice Ganda’s movie earned over Php 400 million which made the “And The Breadwinner Is” film the top earner for this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival. The MMFF 2024 is also its 50th year.

During the Metro Manila Film Festival’s Gabi ng Parangal, Vice received the Special Jury Citation award for her performance in the film. 

The Special Jury Citation award is given “to a performer who has broken the ground and gone out of the familiar and comfort zone to prove his growth as an artist and tackle issues relevant to the contemporary society”.

Recently, it has been reported that the festival, in terms of ticket selling, has surpassed its P800 million target gross. This is based on the sales recorded on January 15 which was exactly three weeks since it started screening.

“And The Breadwinner Is…”, “Green Bones”, and “The Kingdom” are the top 3 earners according to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA). Vice Ganda’s “And The Breadwinner Is…” earned half of the total gross sales.

Breadwinner director Jun Robles Lana is “overflowing with gratitude” after his film with the ABS-CBN comedian superstar earned the top spot in terms of sales. He gave credit to everyone who supported and watched the film in cinemas.

He believes that many people watched his film because it was something that mirrored their reality and for the reason to watch something they could relate to.

“This victory is a testament to the power of connection and the unwavering spirit of those who dare to dream. Maraming, maraming salamat po,” he ended his post.
