'Baler' overtakes 'Desperadas 2' in the MMFF 2008 Box Office

After two days, 'Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat' still leads the box-office with 41 million pesos (20.9 million pesos during the opening day and 20.1 million in the 2nd day).

Coming in close second is 'Iskul Bukol: 20 Years After' with 2-day total of P35.6 million.

'Baler' started out 5th in the box-office ranking last Wednesday, but in Day 2, the movie has climbed up to #3 overtaking Shake, Rattle & Roll X and Desperadas 2.

It's now 4th over-all and might move up the box-office rankings anytime soon after it won 10 awards last night.

Untouchable in 3rd slot is 'Shake, Rattle & Roll X' and trailing behind (still in the same order) are 'One Night Only', 'Dayo' and 'Magkaibigan'.
