Kim & Gerald lost to Zombies

The ostentatious launching of the touted most "promising" and "hottest" (if not boiling) loveteam in their first movie starrer failed to evoke the viewers as they favor the last installment of the movie rendition of the hit Sega computer game "Resident Evil: Extinction" over KimGerald's "I've Fallen for you" by almost $80,000 difference.

Extinction posted a total $390, 810 five-day gross vied with I've Fallen for you's scant $309,212 posting. It's also disappointing to note that "I've Fallen.." opened with 50 screens all over the Philippines compared to Extinction's 35, which expected to give "I've Fallen.." a greater leeway in leading the local box-office but the results tell otherwise.

In terms of esteem, I've Fallen for you was lucidly given much advertisements, the movie's teasers are shown almost every commercial gaps of ABS-CBN's TV shows, compared to Extinction which was publicized only through posters in the malls, newspapers, and minimal advents of teasers on TV's.

The previous movie offering of Star Cinema "A Love Story" did well in the local box-office with an opening of almost $1.5 milllion 5-day gross. The last flick KimGerlad appeared in "First Day High" was also a ho hum in the box-office.

Well, It's a stupendous news to the makers of Resident Evil specially Milla Jovovich and the zombies who beat the hell out of the country's most bankable loveteam. The least thing they can do to buttress their sweep is to never make another installment of the flick. And for the Star Cinema why say that the movie is a "mega-blockbuster-hit" when the number tells the contrary?

Milla Jovovich and the zombies latest tie-up made a tremendous victory , enough in making them today's hottest screen gems and the country's #1 loveteam, placing Kim and Gerald in #2! Peace.

Here is the box-office result from boxofficemojo, Sept. 26-30
