October 24 ------ With more and more people flocking to the cinemas, GMA Pictures and GMA Entertainment Group’s theatrical release of “Balota” starring Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera is a certified top grosser. As it begins its second week, “Balota” continues to reign in moviegoers. Even on a Monday—considered a slow day for movies—many screenings of the film were sold out last Oct. 21.
The producers and the Balota cast are happy because their goal was to reach more people with the message of the movie. The satirical film’s foray into the mainstream movie scene has broadened its audience right in time for the upcoming 2025 Midterm Elections. Aside from being the starrer of Balota, Cinemalaya 2024 Best Actress Marian Rivera also led in sharing the advocacy of the film. “Ito talagang Balota, isang adbokasiya talaga siya kaya pinu-push talaga namin na mas maraming makapanood kasi wakeup call ito sa mga tao, higit lalo sa mga kabataan,” Marian added. A special rate is also given to students and teachers in select cinemas. “Dahil love na love ni teacher Emmy may special rate kami sa mga teachers and student para mas magaan sa bulsa nila ang panonood nila ng Balota,” shared Marian.
