(Philippines) Will 'Stars' Determine MMFF 2010 Box-Office Rankings?

Mainstream film producers are still almost fully dependent on the 'star system' to sell their movies to the ever-evolving Pinoy audiences. If this traditional and old-school mantra remains truly reliable up to now, then the outcome at the box-office of the participating movies in this years Metro Manila film festival will most likely be as follows:
   
1-2) Agimat ni Enteng :    
       Vic Sotto and Bong Revilla
       Box-Office King + Bankable Action Star

1-2) Ang Tanging Ina Mo (Last na 'to):
       AiAi delas Alas and Eugene Domingo
       Box-Office Queen + Bankable Female Comedy Star

3) Dalaw:
    Kris Aquino
    Box-Office Queen

4) Super Inday and the Magic Bibe:
    Marian Rivera, Pokwang, Jake Cuenca
    Top Female Star + Popular Comedienne + Popular Male Star

 

 
5) Father Jejemon:
    Dolphy
    Superstar

 
6) Rosario:
    Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo
    Popular Female Star + Popular Male Star

7) Shake Rattle and Roll 12:
Shaina Magdayao, Rayver Cruz, Sid Lucero, Carla Abellana
Current Male and Female Stars + Current Actor

 
8) RPG Metanoia:
(voices) Zaijan Jaranilla, Aga Muhlach, Eugene Domingo, Vhong Navarro

Again, the above rankings mirror only what current showbiz 'experts' believe to be true in terms of box-office potential as dictated by the stars involved in each project.

SuperStarValue acknowledges that there are notable reasons that support the 'star system' ranking. However, there are factors that are present in the current film fest that would most likely affect the expected results of the producers.
