Star Cinema confirms rift with SM Cinemas
ABS-CBN Film arm, Star Cinema finally aired its side of the story why the movie “And I Love You So” which stars Kapamilya actress, Bea Alonzo paired with Sam Milby and Derek Ramsey were not shown in all of the SM Cinemas nationwide.
The latest movie offering of Star Cinema, “And I Love You So” that premiered last August 12 in almost 100 cinemas nationwide reportedly earned 8 Million Pesos according to the Ad/Promo department of Star Cinema but there were also reports from juicy insiders from the network itself who informed some of the press people that the movie of Bea Alonzo earned only 3.4 Million Pesos on its first showing date. This is the second time that the pinay celebrity, Bea Alonzo starred in a movie without being paired with her long-time love team, John Lloyd Cruz.
Star Cinema already issued a statement about the said “rift” against SM Cinemas from which 45 percent of all movie tickets were being sold nationwide. According to Malou N. Santos, Managing Director of Star Cinema, “Ang Star Cinema ay mayrong collection and computation issues sa SM.” Santos also added that Star Cinema just wanted to have fair computation, fair financial distribution, and a good partnership. She also explained that the film company barely needs to have a fair share with SM. Santos still hopes that they could settle the “rift” with SM as soon as possible. “Ang nais lang naman naming ay isang win-win situation na magbibigay ng karampatang benepisyo sa Star Cinema at sa aming mga partners tulad ng SM.”
