Men in Black 3 Grosses P68.73-M, Opens at Number 1 in the Philippines
Alien-hunting black-suited secret
agents have invaded the top of the box office.
Columbia Pictures' sci-fi action comedy “Men In Black 3” starring Will Smith
opened at No. 1 in the Philippines, amassing a nationwide gross of an
out-of-this-world P68.73-million for the five-day opening weekend May 23-27
frame. This was announced today by Victor R. Cabrera, managing director of
Columbia Pictures Philippines.
“Men In Black 3's” first weekend haul in the Philippines is the second best
opening of 2012 for a foreign movie, behind only “Marvel’s The Avengers” and
beating the bows of “Wrath of the Titans” (P62.5-million), “The Hunger Games”
(P62.3- million) and “Battleship” (P46.3-million).
In the U.S., the sequel which reunited Smith with co-star Tommy Lee Jones and director Barry Sonnenfeld, effectively wrestled away the box-office crown from “Marvel's The Avengers” which has dominated the North American tills for the past weeks. "Men in Black 3" debuted as the No. 1 movie over the Memorial Day holiday weekend with $55 million. Distributor Sony estimates that by the end of the four-day holiday weekend Monday, "Men in Black 3" will have pulled in $202 million worldwide.

In “Men In Black 3,” Agents J (Smith) and K (Jones) are back... in time. J has
seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but
nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner.
But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will
have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are
secrets to the universe that K never told him -- secrets that will reveal
themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Brolin) to save his partner,
the agency, and the future of humankind.
