But they did not specify how much each film made individually. The MMFF previously said that this was to avoid a “bandwagon effect.”
“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,” MMFF Executive Committee Spokesperson Noel Ferrer said in an Instagram post last December 26.
The 2017 MMFF entries were:
All of You
Ang Larawan
Ang Panday
Deadma Walking
Gandarrapiddo: The Revenger Squad
Haunted Forest
Meant To Beh
Siargao
While the film festival ended on Jan. 7, according to Interaksyon, all eight entries are still being screened in SM Cinemas nationwide.
Other cinema chains like Ayala Mall Cinemas, Robinsons Movieworld, and Megaworld Lifestyle Malls are still showing select MMFF entries.
