‘Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour’ Box Office Smashes All-Time Record In Just 5 Days

Posted on: October 24th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour has broken a major box office record, despite only played in theaters for five days. 

 

 

The concert documentary is a recorded version of the global pop star’s blockbuster Eras Tour, in which she performs a series of mini-sets featuring music and costumes from various periods throughout her career, which has now spanned more than a decade and a half.

 

 

In its opening weekend, the movie took the No. 1 spot with a humongous domestic gross of $92.8 million.

 

 

Per Deadline, the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour box office has broken a huge record this weekend. In its second weekend, it added $32.4 million to its domestic total, bringing its cumulative gross to $131.1 million and becoming the first concert documentary to pass $100 million in the U.S.

 

 

Because the movie has an unusual release pattern and doesn’t play on most weekdays, this means that it has surpassed this record in just five nonconsecutive days of showings.

 

 

There are no longer many movies that can be used as yardsticks to measure the possible future success of the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour release. This domestic total of $131 million is already more than 50% higher than the previous highest-grossing concert movies on the U.S. chart. Those titles would be 2011’s Justin Bieber: Never Say Never at $73 million and 2010’s Michael Jackson documentary This Is It at $72 million.

 

In fact, Never Say Never didn’t even crack $100 million at the global box office, only grossing $99 million overall and thus still falling behind The Eras Tour.

 

 

However, at the time of writing, This Is It remains the highest-grossing concert movie of all time worldwide at $261 million. The movie’s international appeal far outstrips The Eras Tour, which has made considerably less overseas than in the U.S., meaning Taylor Swift still has a long way to go to have earned the No. 1 concert movie of all time.

 

 

The Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour theatrical run still has plenty of time to work toward that gross, as it is engaged for a 13-week minimum in theaters. Unfortunately, if this weekend’s week-on-week drop of 66% continues to be the norm for the movie, it likely won’t be able to match that total.

 

 

However, it could potentially see a resurgence in early November, which has a dearth of other blockbuster releases until The Marvels debuts on November 10. (source: screenrant.com)

Posted on: October 24th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Dismayado ang netizens sa sinuot sa ‘Sparkle Spell 2023’: ALDEN, parang napadaan lang at ‘di na nag-effort mag-costume

Posted on: October 24th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

DISMAYADO ang mga netizen nang makita nila kung ano ang suot ni Alden Richards sa ginanap na ‘Sparkle Spell 2023’.

 

Casual na casual lang kasi ang suot niya na naka-black shirts, sneakers, maong pants na may dalang bouquet ng bulaklak.

 

Tipong parang napadaan lang daw ito habang ang ibang mga Sparkle artists ay todo nag-effort tulad nina Kyline Alcantara, Sanya Lopez at iba pa.

 

May paliwanag naman si Alden kung bakit yun ang isinuot niya. Sa mga nakapanood na ng pelikula nila ni Julia Montes na ‘Five Breakups and a Romance’, makokonek agad na ito ang suot ni Alden sa isang scene sa movie.
At dito nga niya sinabi na since Godzilla ang naka-print sa shirts, Godzilla bilang destroyer, may kakabog pa raw ba na nakakatakot sa isang destroyer?

 

At base rin sa movie, nasira nga raw ba ni Lance (character niya sa movie) ang buhay ni Justine, played by Julia.
Daming negative comment ng mga netizens. Nandiyang ‘di man lang daw nag-effort mag-costume habang ang iba, todo effort. Nag-promote pa raw kahit nasa event na.

 

Pero ang iba naman, lalo na ang mga fan ni Alden ay pinupuri pa rin ito na guwapo at hot. May nagsabi rin na smart boy.

 

May mga nagdepensa rin kay Alden na sobrang ngarag na raw ni Alden na kaliwa’t-kanan ang mga block screening na pinupuntahan, para makapag-prepare pa.

 

***

 

ISA-ISA nang ipinakikilala ang mga gaganap na bagong ‘Sang’gre’.

 

May isang Sang’gre na ipinakilala na sa ’24 Oras’, ito ay si Bianca Umali bilang Terra, ang anak ni Sang’gre Danaya.
Siyempre, given naman na mga Sparkle artists ang mga bagong cast. Nagtanong-tanong kami, pero ayaw pang kumpirmahin ng mga napagtanungan namin.

 

Though, ilan pa sa naririnig nilang mga bagong Sang’gre bukod kay Bianca ay sina Faith da Silva, Angel Guardian at Kate Valdez. Habang si Glaiza de Castro ay mapapanood pa rin.

 

Sa 2024 pa naman ang ‘Sang’gre’ na siguradong isa sa aabangan sa Kapuso network.

Bong Go: I-update listahan ng indigent senior citizens

Posted on: October 24th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

HINIKAYAT ni Senador Bong Go ang Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) na i-update ang kanilang listahan ng mga mahihirap na senior citizens para masiguro ang tamang implementasyon ng batas na nagtataas sa kanilang Social Pension.

 

 

Ayon kay Go, layon ng Republic Act No. 11916 na itaas ang pension ng mahihirap na senior citizen mula P500 hanggang P1,000.

 

 

Ang pag-amyenda umano sa naturang batas ay isang hakbang para masiguro na maganda ang kalidad ng buhay ng mga senior citizen kaya kailangan nila na mabigyan ng karampatang suporta.

 

 

“Nandiyan na ang batas. Dapat maimplementa ito ng maayos para mapakinabangan ng taumbayan lalo na ng mga matatanda na sakop ng batas na ito. Ibigay dapat ang nararapat sa kanila at huwag patagalin pa,” giit ni Go.

 

 

Iginiit pa ng Senador na sa ilalim ng batas ay may mandato ang DSWD na inilipat sa National Council and Development (NCSC) na kada taon ay i-update at i-validate ang mga benepisyaryo ng listahan sa tulong na rin ng Philippine Statistics Authority o PSA) at mga lokal na pamahalaan. Sa palagay ng Senador dapat na agad i-update ang listahan ng mga benepisyaryo dahil maaaring dumami na ang bilang ng mga indigent senior citizens sa mga nakalipas na panahon.

HINDI inaasahan ang pagkikita nina John Lloyd Cruz at Bea Alonzo sa studio ng “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” sa GMA Network last Thursday, October 19.

 

 

Pareho pala silang guest sa week-long birthday celebration ni Boy.

 

 

“Hello po, Sir John Lloyd,” pabirong bati ni Bea kay John Lloyd, na yumakap nang mahigpit sa kanya.

 

 

Ang mga tao naman sa studio ay sumisigaw ng “Popoy” at “Basha,” ang mga characters na ginampanan nila sa 2007 blockbuster movie na “One More Chance.”  Nagkumustahan ang dalawa na mukhang matagal nang hindi nagkikita.

 

 

Kaabang-abang daw ang interview na ginawa ni Boy kina Bea at John Lloyd na mapapanood next week dahil buong katapatan daw nilang sinagot ang mga personal questions na ibinato sa kanila ni Boy.

 

 

First time daw itong nagsalita si John Lloyd tungkol sa tunay na estado ng relasyon nila ni Isabel Santos, sa co-parenting agreement nila ni Ellen Adarna sa anak nilang si Elias, at ang mga pagbabago sa kanyang buhay dahil sa kanyang anak.

 

 

Ano naman kaya ang inamin ni Bea kay Boy, tungkol sa kanilang nalalapit na pagpapakasal ng boyfriend na si Dominic Roque?

 

 

Ang “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” ay napapanood daily, 5:20 pm sa GMA-7 .

 

 

***

 

 

TAWA lamang nang tawa si Kapamilya actor at TV host na si Piolo Pascual nang tanungin tungkol sa isyung nabuntis daw niya si Shaina Magdayao?

 

 

Kumalat kasi ang balitang preggy si Shaina at ang itinuturong tatay ay si Papa P (Piolo).  Sa isang interview ay sinagot na ni Piolo ang sinasabing balita tungkol sa kanila ni Shaina.

 

 

Tawang-tawa nga si Piolo at pabiro rin niyang sinagot ang nag-viral na tsismis, “Siyempre ang daming tumawag sa akin, kaya ang biro kong sagot: ‘sorry hindi ko kayo nasabihan, Sini-secret talaga kasi namin, e, hahaha! Know for yourself, di ba? Buti pa kayo alam ninyo!”

 

 

Pero inamin naman ni Piolo na espesyal pa rin sa puso niya si Shaina pero ayaw muna niyang lagyan ng label ang kanilang relasyon.

 

 

“Tingnan po natin anong mangyayari.  First there is pressure in the family, in the society and she’s a good friend with my family.  Sa ngayon ay I’m really busy and I don’t have any time for that, so I don’t wanna be unfair.”

 

 

Meanwhile, gumawa ng isang horror-thriller si Piolo, na may tatlong character siyang gagampanan, at inamin niyang nahirapang siya talagang gawin ang “Mallari” na entry ng Mentorque Productions at CleverMind, Inc. para sa 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival sa December.

Tulad nang naranasan ni Ruru sa ‘Black Rider’: KATRINA, naaksidente habang kinukunan ang maaksyong eksena

Posted on: October 23rd, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

NAAKSIDENTE pala si Katrina Halili habang kinukunan ang isang maaksyon na eksena sa action-serye na ‘Black Rider’ ng GMA Public Affairs.

 

 

On Instagram, sinabi ng Kapuso actress na naka-recover na siya mula sa aksidente at nakapag-taping na siya ulit.

 

 

“Recovered from a mishap from Black Rider shoot, game na ulit si Romana. Babagsak pero tatayo palagi, lavarn na ulit,” caption pa niya sa Instagram.

 

 

Bukod kay Katrina, nakaranas din ng aksidente sa set ang bida ng ‘Black Rider’ na si Ruru Madrid.

 

 

Nag-physical therapy ang Sparkle actor ng isang buwan bago ito ulit sumabak sa mga buwis-buhay na mga eksena.

BINALIKAN nila Mark Anthony Fernandez at Eric Fructuoso ang mga ganap noong Guwaping days nila.

 

 

Nabuo ang grupo nila with Jomari Yllana noong 1992. Naging regular sila noon sa sitcom na ‘Palibhasa Lalake’, naging endorsers ng Bench at naging box-office hit ang pelikula nilang ‘Guwapings: The First Adventure.’

 

 

Hindi raw nila in-expect noon na sisikat sila hanggang sa makita nilang hinahabol na sila ng fans kahit saan sila magpunta.

 

 

Pag-alala ni Mark: “Noong hinahabol kami ng mga tao at sinisigawan. ‘Yung part ng feeling ko, Beatles kami.”

 

 

Kuwento naman ni Eric: “Bawal kami lumabas at pumunta ng mall pero hindi namin sinunod at nalaman namin kung bakit bawal. Pumunta kami sa Bench at ayun sinara, hindi kami makalabas.”

 

 

Noong buhay pa raw ang manager nilang si Douglas Quijano, lagi raw silang pinapagalitan at pinagsasabihan dahil pasaway silang tatlo.

 

 

Mga bata pa raw kasi sila noon kaya hindi nila naintindihan kung bakit parating binabantayan mga kinikilos nila sa publiko.

 

 

Ngayon ay mga tatay sina Mark, Eric at Jomari.  Proud si Mark sa anak na si Grae Fernandez dahil mas pinili nito ang mag-aral ng filmmaking sa New York kesa sa ituloy ang showbiz career.

 

 

Si Eric naman ay lolo na dahil may apo na siya sa panganay niyang si Frederick.

 

 

Ang panganay naman ni Jomari kay Aiko Melendez na si Andrei ay nag-aartista na rin.

BIG hit agad ang first Christmas single ni Cher na “DJ Play A Christmas Song” na galing sa first Christmas album niya na “Cher Christmas”.

 

 

Pasok ito sa No. 3 spot ng Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart ng Billboard. Ito ang third single ni Cher na nag-hit sa naturang chart after “Believe” and “Strong Enough” noong 1998.

 

 

Isang 13-track album ang Cher Christmas kunsaan ka-duet ng 77-year old music icon sina Stevie Wonder, Cyndi Lauper, Michael Bublé, Tyga, and Darlene Love sa mga featured holiday songs.

 

 

Dedicated ang first Christmas album ni Cher sa kanyang ina na si Georgina Holt na pumanaw last year sa edad na 96.
