MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Don’t judge a book by its cover, but you can judge a movie by its title.
Now it can be told that Vince Tañada’s new film, ‘Ako Si Ninoy’ is a biopic flop. But the controversial director is not conceding like his idol Leni Robredo.
The film has quickly changed promotional strategy with a title change. It is now “Ayoko Si Ninoy” (I don ‘t like Ninoy).
Tañada is hoping that this new strategy could at least fool moviegoers into watching the film and hopefully significantly improve its dismal showing (or is it no shows) in remaining theaters nationwide!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Film director Vince Tañada and Philstagers Films have every reason to celebrate after their film, ‘Ako Si Ninoy’ opened nationwide in Philippine Theaters on February 22.
The flick which chronicles the life and tragic death of the late Senator Benigno ‘Ninoy’ Aquino, Jr. has just made it to the Guinness World Records as the film feature with the least opening day viewers, with receipts unprecedented in theater box office history.
Netizen posts showed photos of theater after theater that revealed a just a handful to no audience for the film’s scheduled screenings.
Congratulations to Tañada for bringing honor to the Philippines! Bring out the beer!!!
