PH Box Office Update: 31 August to 6 September 2026

National Heroes Day gave the week its peak before the working days arrived, and by Thursday houses were at 5.9 percent.

Three wide releases opened into that stretch: Saving Cherry on 13,889 seats, Onslaught on 10,338 and THE GUARDIANS on 7,545, together a tenth of the week. Ten other titles were first seen in the week, including a five-title Filipino classics block from 1 September.

There were 1,078 more measured screenings than the week before, so the same kind of audience spread across more choices. Occupancy eased 4.0 points to 8.6 percent.

Insidious: Out of the Further led a third week on 139,478 filled seats at 12.2 percent occupancy. Spider-Man: Brand New Day held second on 61,490 seats in its sixth week, and at 10.3 percent it is now within two points of the market average, which is where a wide release settles late in its run. Hope added fill in its second week, 28,640 seats at 11.2 percent against 9.2 percent the week before.

Two titles reached a fourth week inside the Takilya record this week. Their run totals through 6 September:

• The End of Oak Street, 124,450 seats filled of 1,257,530 offered, 9.9 percent occupancy, an estimated ₱51.40 million.
• Filipiñana, 8,637 seats filled of 33,899 offered, 25.5 percent occupancy, an estimated ₱2.44 million, held on a far smaller screen count.

Spider-Man's own run since 29 July now stands at 3,275,173 seats filled and an estimated ₱1.27 billion.

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 99.98 percent of filled seats carried a directly observed price.

Dollar figures use the 4 September 2026 reference rate of ₱62.65 to the dollar.

Coverage is the 10 chains, 162 branches and 682 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.
