Francis Tolentino announced last December 26, The Amazing Praybeyt Benjamin is still in the lead in the box-office. The Vice Ganda comedy film is then followed by the Kris Aquino-Coco Martin starrer, Feng Shui 2 and the Vic Sotto-Ryzza Mae Dizon starrer My Big Bossing.
MMFF organizers did not disclose the box-office figures of the top four money earners.
Meanwhile, Vice Ganda has tweeted on Friday that "Praybeyt Benjamin'' surpassed the P300-million mark at the box office.
This means that the film is on track to match the gross earnings of another Vice Ganda-starrer "Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy," an entry in last year's MMFF that is currently the highest-grossing Philippine film of all time.
Completing this year’s official entries to the MMFF are the following (in no particular order): the Andres Bonifacio bipioc Bonifacio: Ang Unang Pangulo, the horror film Shake, Rattle and Roll XV and the action film Muslim Magnum .357.
