Kimmy Dora and the Temple of Kiyeme grosses P100 million; outperforms first installment of comedy film

Kimmy Dora and the Temple of Kiyeme has grossed P100 million in a span of 11 days.

According to Star Cinema, the horror-comedy film reached the P100 million mark last Saturday, June 23. The movie had its premiere night last June 12, Independence Day.

This allowed Kimmy Dora 2 to outperform the first installment released years ago. In 2009, Kimmy Dora: Kambal sa Kiyeme was able to gross P80 million when it was shown in cinemas.

Directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal, this film is topbilled by Eugene Domingo who plays the dual role of the bitchy businesswoman Kimmy and the simple-minded Dora. In the sequel, the twin sisters discover a curse that plagues the Go Hong Hae family and their loved ones.

The second installment of this comedy film introduces new characters played by Ryan Bang, Alodia Gosiengfiao, and Kiray Celis.

It is co-produced by Star Cinema and Spring Films, a production outfit owned by actor Piolo Pascual, filmmaker Joyce Bernal, talent manager Erickson Raymundo, and cinematographer Shayne Sarte.

Based on TV Patrol's interview with Eugene Domingo aired on June 26, it was revealed that there are plans to come up with a third installment of Kimmy Dora.

Eugene is also slated to go to the Czech Republic to attend the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Her previous film, Ang Babae sa Septic Tank, is up for exhibition in the said film fest.

    Congrats Eugene! I think this is her first movie to reach 100m. Well deserved though I liked the first installment more. Sa mga bitters, well, tignan nyo muna ang kinita ng mga pelikula ng ibang producers dyan kaysa manlait ng ibang pelikula.

    Kung tutuusin, isang pelikula lang ng GMA films, ang matatawag na successful, at ito ang Rizal ni Marilou Diaz Abaya. at helloww.. panahon pa ata iyun i mahoma. Simula noon, semplang na lahat. Kaya ni isa sa mga talents ng GMA ay never pa nagkaroon ng Box Office crown sa Guillermo Mendoza, samantalang ang ABS talents, naumay na sa tropeo. Kristine Hermosa, Claudine Baretto, Sarah Geronimo, Bea Alonzo, John Lloyd Cruz ay mga suki na sa awards night nito.

    Kawawa na naman ang mga taga Kapusod. Wala ng ginagawa kundi abangan na lang ang mga pelikula ng Star Cinema kung ito ba ay mag hi hit o hindi. Kapag sumblay sa box office, unahan sila sa pagce celebrate, at kapag blockbuster naman, ida downplay pa din success ng movie. Haay naku. mga Kapusod, palibhasay nasanay na kayo sa barya baryang kita ng mga certified flops ng GMA films, kaya gusto din nilang hatakin pababa ang Star Cinema . Sa totoo lang, ang mga sinasabing flop na SC movies ng mga kapusod , ay kapantay lang sa kinita ng mga box office hit kuno ng GMA films. Kahit sumemplang man ang ilan sa SC movies, wala pa din sa kalingkingan ng tagumpay na natamo nito sa box office compared sa mga puchu puchung gawa ng GMA films. Tsuk!

    Kailangan may partner ang Star Cinema para may kitain ang kanyang pelikula. Artista pa hindi taga-ABS. Kasi naman iyong sikat daw at nationwide ang kasikatan mega flop ang mga pelikula nila. Pero sabi ng mga Kapamilya sikat na sikat ang baklang bida ng movies ng STar Cinema. Bwahahahhaa.
