It’s the superhero team up of a lifetime. Now, it’s shaping up to be the highest-grossing film – for all time!

“Marvel’s The Avengers” rewrote Philippine box-office record books when it grossed a monumental P281-million opening weekend gross nationwide – the biggest debut ever in history, this was revealed by Victor R. Cabrera, managing director of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Philippines.

“It’s practically a box office tsunami that has so far drowned, wiped out and rewritten every local record in its first five days of play,” adds Cabrera.

Foremost of the records to fall is the highest opening weekend, previously set by “Spider-Man 3” at P236-million (a benchmark set in 6 days back in 2007).

Since it opened last Wednesday, April 25, “Marvel’s The Avengers” has surpassed daily records in its path set by various blockbusters:

Biggest Saturday Ever: P66.4-M, breaking “Transformers: Dark of the Moon’s” P60.8-M.

Biggest Sunday Ever: P68.5M, outlasting “Transformers: Dark of the Moon’s” P60.8M. Sunday’s receipts for “The Avengers” also now holds the distinction of the all-time biggest single-day gross in the country.

Other milestones achieved were fastest time to cross the P100-million mark (in only two days) and P200-million (four days).

With another non-working holiday looming tomorrow, May 1, box office sales for “The Avengers” may be set for more records.

Playing in almost 500 screens, “The Avengers” posted the biggest sales in SM North EDSA (P17.85-M), SM Mall of Asia (P15.02-M), SM Megamall (P12.51-M), Trinoma (P10.27-M), SM Cebu (P9.53-M), Glorietta 4 (P7.60-M), SM Southmall (P6.76-M), Newport City (P6.64-M) and SM Fairview (P6.63-M).

Rounding out the Top 20 cinemas are Gateway (P6.06-M), Eastwood (P5.58-M), Power Plant (P5.49-M), Greenbelt 3 (P5.13-M), Festival Mall (P5.08-M), Robinsons Ermita (P4.77-M), Robinsons Galleria (P4.73-M), Alabang Town Center (P4.63-M), Market! Market! (P4.50-M), Shang Cineplex (P4.30-M) and Ayala Cinemas Cebu (P4.27-M).

Overseas, the superhero film also bowed in 38 other territories and has brought in a whopping $178.4 million since opening April 25. It opened at No.1 in every single one of those territories while setting opening weekend records in many South and Central American countries. Some of the individual numbers include $24.7 million from the UK, $19.7 million from Australia, $15.9 million from Mexico and $12.9 million from Korea.

Marvel Studios presents “Marvel’s The Avengers” - the Super Hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow.

Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Tom Hiddleston, with Stellan Skarsgård and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, and directed by Joss Whedon, “Marvel’s The Avengers” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since. “Marvel’s The Avengers” is from Marvel Studios in association with Paramount Pictures, produced by Kevin Feige and directed by Joss Whedon from a story by Zak Penn and Joss Whedon with screenplay by Joss Whedon.

It was ANTM producer Michael Carandang who invited Francis Libiran to design for a challenge in the show’s 18th cycle. For the challenge, Libiran created designs using the Hello Kitty character, a favorite of ANTM's host Tyra Banks.

VIDEO: Akon says Jessica Sanchez overqualified for 'Idol' and is ready to sign her!

american-idol-jessica-sanchez-top-8-performance-how-will-i-know-whitney-houston1Akon, who recently guest mentored on Idol, says  Jessica Sanchez is by far his favorite contestant this season. "I know I shouldn't be saying this, but I kind of want her to get voted off so I can sign her," Akon told E! News at the Billboard Latin Music Awards in Miami.

"She's beyond the talent that's supposed to be there," the R&B star gushed. "I think she's overqualified, I really do."

"And she's only 16," Akon continued. "Like, I've been around a lot of superstars. I haven't seen anyone at that age sing like that."

Sanchez was actually almost voted off the show two weeks ago but was saved by the judges, who decided to use their once-per-season save. "[People] naturally assume that she's been voted for because she's so good," Akon said. "So they chose to vote for someone else to kind of even the balance and she's not getting the votes."

Diether Ocampo and Maja Salvador Team Up for New Movie!

Hunk actor Diether Ocampo and actress Maja Salvador will be playing lovers in the upcoming Star Magic movie in celebration of its 20th anniversary. Maja Salvador will play the secretary of Diether's character in the film.

Even with a wide age gap (Maja is 23 while Diether is 37), Maja Salvador was very thankful that she had the opportunity to be paired with Diet, being a relatively more experienced actor.

“Akala ko hindi ko na siya maaabutan, pero naabutan ko siya. Dati ‘diba, bagets-bagets pa talaga ako, nanonood ako nu'ng mga team-up niya with Kristine Hermosa, with Claudine Barretto, sina Judy Ann. Tapos ngayon, ang-swerte ko naman, magkasama naman kaming dalawa,” Maja told ABS-CBN news.

Meanwhile, Diether appreciated Maja's youthful energy on the set. Maja revealed that Diet somehow missed that kind of energy and occasionally amazed with Maja's funny antics.

Maja Salvador drpped a few hints on what the story will look like. Somehow, the film will be reminiscent of Manong Gilbert Perez' Jologs where the characters with their own stories to tell will meet in the end (a 'small world' conclusion) yet this one will show the farthest lengths one can go to for love.

“’Yung kwento nito – ano ba ang mga kabaliwan natin? Ano ba ang magagawa mong kabaliwan para sa pag-ibig? Lahat kami dito, may kanya-kanyang kwento. Magtutugma-tugma kaming lahat, magkikita-kita kami, at sa bawat isang character, mare-realize ng manonood na, ‘Ay, ginawa ko na ‘yan [para] sa pag-ibig.’”

Star Magic's 20th anniversary film offering will also feature Kapamilya stars John Lloyd Cruz, Bea Alonzo, Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Piolo Pascual, Jake Cuenca, Pokwang and Angelica Panganiban.

Sharon Cuneta’s Talk Show ‘Sharon: Kasama mo, Kapatid’ Premieres this May on TV5

Sharon Cuneta
Real stories, real people headline Megastar’s return to TV via daily talk show “Sharon: Kasama mo, Kapatid.”

After 30 years of blockbuster movies, chart-topping music albums, sold-out concerts and top-rating TV programs, Megastar Sharon Cuneta embarks on another milestone in her widely-followed show biz career as she begins her first project on her new home, TV5 - the daily talk show “Sharon: Kasama mo, Kapatid” co-produced by Mega Productions, Inc. - starting this May.

The Megastar admits that her transfer to TV5 late last year has given her renewed energy to start a new chapter in her life. Beyond the glitz and glam of the industry, Sharon believes that the real meaning of life could be found in the celebration of real life stories from everyday people. “I was able to survive the highs and lows of my life because of the unmatched support I got from the public through the years. With my big move to TV5 comes an opportune time to give back to the people whom I owe all my successes,” Sharon related. “This show is all about them. This will be my legacy.”

Airing from Monday to Friday, the daily talk show promises the viewers a refreshing format with features of real stories from real lives - celebrating triumphs while learning from mistakes-turned-inspirations.

With her genuine heart that often brings out the most inspiring stories out of common people, the Megastar is poised to inject feel-good stories to the show’s viewers. But aside from heartfelt narratives and engaging conversations, the show will infuse laughter and tears - both evoked by joy and strong emotion - from the highly entertaining mix of real-life stories and life celebrations.

Shedding off her iconic public image as she delves into these extraordinary life stories and cultivates her personal experiences, Sharon promises to make use of her influence and capacity to touch lives and inspire positive change. To advance the modern-day “pagmamalasakit,” the show will also take on a proactive stance to caring and service through a network of advocates, supporters and philanthropists working together for the common good of Pinoys, especially those in need and for programs of varying causes through a collective, continuous and long-term fund drive.

Hosted by Megastar Sharon Cuneta, celebrate life with real stories from real lives from Monday to Friday on “Sharon: Kasama mo, Kapatid” beginning this May on TV5. Filipinos all over the world can also get more engaged with the show via “Sharon: Kasama mo, Kapatid’s” official Twitter account (@SharonKasamaMo), Sharon’s personal handle (@sharon_cuneta12) and its Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/SharonKasamaMoKapatid)

According to information provided on the website, Pacquiao garnered a 20 percent influential score and a 59 percent likeability level.

He beats other famous athletes like NFL players Tom Brady (No. 5), Aaron Rodgers (No. 6), Drew Brees (No. 8), and Eli Manning (No. 9); NASCAR racer Dale Earnhardt. Jr. (No. 7); and NBA’s Jeremy Lin (No. 10).

Christian_Bautista001

After Willie Revillame, Aga Muhlach, Mariel Rodriguez, and Sharon Cuneta, is Christian  Bautista next in line? I bet you know what I mean.

“Wala pa namang final. Nagkaroon lang ng pag-uusap, ng negotiation. I’m still under contract with ABS-CBN until August. After August, tignan po natin,” Christian revealed following rumors of his ongoing talks with TV5 executives about his possible transfer.

“Life goes on, work goes on, but we’ll see if there are opportunities when the contract ends.” he added.

Rumor also has it that TV5, if ever Christian decided to transfer to Kapatid network, will give the singer a "Kanta Pilipinas" hosting job.

Fil-Am Cheesa Laureta Eliminated on The Voice 2!

cheesa3 America saved Jamar Rogers for Team Cee Lo on ‘The Voice,’ so Juliet Simms and Cheesa had to perform for the save on tonight’s (April 24) elimination episode. Cee Lo is the lady killa, so this battle was probably equally difficult for him. He ended up choosing Simms, ultimately ending Cheesa’s time in the competition. Rogers and Simms will represent Cee Lo’s beloved Team Red in the semis next week.

Cheesa the diva sang ‘Already Gone,’ which is to be expected of a vocalist of her caliber. She has a voice to be reckoned with, but the coaches noted that she was a hair under pitch for much of the song except during the last notes, which she hit, so it was an unbalanced perf.

Simms, the rocker of Season 2 of the show, sang ‘Torn,’ a song made popular by pop singer Natalie Imbruglia in the 1990s. It was a different style for such an edgy vocalist, since we are used to her raspy, riotous style. She showed restraint when she needed and tore it up when it was appropriate. It was a perfectly balanced performance. That’s why she notched the save.

Before announcing his choice, Cee Lo asked his lovely ladies to show him their smiles. Cheesa managed a smile through a torrent of tears.

After the last chance performances, Cee Lo made his choice and we think he did so wisely. Based on tonight’s do-or-die perfs, Simms took it.

P60-B GMA Network Price Tag Not Worth the Price According to Manny Pangilinan

MVP-GMA7"Too expensive." describes TV5 Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan of the P60-billion price tag sought for rival GMA Network Inc.

MVP also downplays the possibility of his group to shell out double of what's GMA Network's market value now for full ownership of the broadcast company.

At the close of trading on Monday, listed GMA Network shares were priced at P9.40 each, valuing the company at P31.929 billion.

Pangilinan was supposed to have offered P45 billion for GMA Network, but the three families controlling the broadcast firm - the Duavits, Gozons, and Jimenezes - would sell for at least P60 billion.

Gilberto Duavit Jr., GMA Network president, said in a press release that they "are presently not in serious negotiations with the PLDT group as we have not yet received an offer price that is acceptable to us."
