PH Box Office Update: 17 to 23 August 2026
By Takilya, 12 Sep 2026, 8 min read
One Wednesday opening carried almost two thirds of everything the week filled, and its distributor called it a record horror opening. Friday was the fullest day at 34.2 percent, more than three times Tuesday's 10.8 percent, and Cinema 1 at SM Aura Premier ran fullest of any busy room at 83.1 percent across 35 measured screenings.
Observed filled seats for the week, equal to ₱381.4M ($6.19M) in estimated gross.
Insidious: Out of the Further opened on Wednesday 19 August and filled 137,470 seats across 158 branches on its first day, 41.4 percent of the 332,379 it offered, for an estimated ₱50.91 million.
Columbia Pictures reported ₱51,682,703 for the day and called it the biggest horror opening day on record in the Philippines. Takilya's floor estimate sits 1.5 percent under that number for the Wednesday alone, and 1.2 percent under once the Tuesday midnight sneak is counted with it: four rooms at Fisher Mall Quezon Avenue, three of them at 98.8, 98.0 and 95.8 percent full and the fourth at 60.2 percent.
Across the full week the film took 631,383 seats at 39.4 percent occupancy, 64 percent of every seat the market filled. The day it landed moved the market Takilya covers from 10.8 percent full on Tuesday to 25.1 percent on Wednesday, and the week closed 253,543 seats ahead of the seven days before it with occupancy up 6.7 points to 24.4 percent.
17 to 23 August 2026. Each bar is scaled against the 982,598 observed seats across all films.

Scheduled-only titles and zero-seat advance listings are excluded because they do not provide a material weekly update.
These figures are estimates from what Takilya observed. They are not audited distributor returns.
Seats filled and seats offered are read off each cinema's own seat map for a screening. A reading taken more than six hours ahead of the show is set aside, so advance sales are never reported as a full house. A screening counts only where the reading gives a whole seat count against a known room capacity, and each showing is counted once however many times it was read.
Estimated gross is a floor. It multiplies the seats a screening filled by the ticket price observed for that screening, and falls back to the lowest applicable published price where none was seen. For this week 95.5 percent of filled seats carried a directly observed price.
Dollar figures use the 21 August 2026 reference rate of ₱61.66 to the dollar.
Coverage is the 10 chains, 162 branches and 692 auditoriums counted here. Fullest-room claims compare only the rooms that offered at least 2,000 seats across the week and carried at least 20 measured screenings spread over six of the seven days. A room is set aside when more than a quarter of its readings sat at full capacity, because a reading pinned at capacity cannot tell a sold-out house from a seat allocation the cinema had closed. Every total here is a floor built only from the chains Takilya observes.
