'Ang Panday' fails to reach P100M mark

The ticket sales for 'Ang Panday' slowed down during the last 4 days
of MMFF 2009 preventing it to reach the 100 million-peso range. But no doubt, the movie is the final and overall topgrosser in the 2-week festival, with an accumulated 14-day gross of P99.4 million.

Also worthy to be recognized is 'I Love You Goodbye' which opened only in 4th place but ended the festival as the 2nd topgrosser, with P94.3 million total gross.

Big-budgeted 'Panday' was for General Audience while small-budgeted ILYG was PG-13. Now which movie has the higher net and considered more successful?
