John Carter tops PH box office

John Carter (Taylor Kitsch)
The Taylor Kitsch-starrer "John Carter" is number 1 at the Philippine box office for two weeks in a row.

According to Box Office Mojo, Kitsch's movie added Php25.5 million to its earnings during its second week (March 14-18) in local cinemas, beating out other movies screening that week. It has now collected a total of Php69.6 million for 2 weeks.

The movie's performance is somehow surprising for some since there were calls to boycott the movie after lead actor Kitsch's erroneous statement about the Philippines.

Disney has also released a statement regarding the projected loss of $200 million from the sci-fi movie. So far, the film raked in $184 million worldwide but the problem is it cost more than $350 million to produce and market it.
