Once again, Kris Aquino’s prediction has come true. On day two of the 38th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), Kris, Ai Ai delas Alas and Vice Ganda’s entry Sisterakas has doubled its lead in the nationwide box-office as it turned in a total gross of P71.2 million, according to data from the film fest organizer Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).

Second placer Si Agimat, Si Enteng Kabisote at Si Ako, grossed P47.4 million nationwide followed by, One More Try, with P24.3 million and Shake, Rattle and Roll 14 with P16.7 million.

Prior to the Christmas day opening of the Metro Manila Film Festival, Kris had predicted that her movie Sisterakas would be the number one movie of the festival.

“Kasi nung 2010 number three ako. Nung 2011 na festival number two yung movie. So, it’s about time na siguro na mag-number one kami,” she was quoted saying during the movie’s press conference

And true enough, Sisterakas recorded the highest single-day earnings of a local film of all time, raking in P40.7 million and getting an early lead over Si Agimat, Si Enteng Kabisote at si Ako—a movie that features perennial MMFF box office leaders Vic Sotto, Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. and Judy Ann Santos.

“We set a record! Highest single day earnings for any Philippine film in history . . . Congrats to the MMFF Queen, Ai Ai . . . Congrats undisputed #1 box office director Wenn Deramas . . . Congrats to the reigning box office champ [Vice Ganda]!” read Kris’ posts on Twitter on Wednesday.

On Christmas Day, Kris and Vice held a block screening that was attended by their family and close friends including the Aquino sisters and President Benigno Aquino 3rd.

Kris and Vice said that they were very happy to hear the audience laughing inside the cinema with Vice boldly proclaiming that it could even exceed the box-office success of his film The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin, which is currently the highest grossing local film of all time.

Citing the film’s booking officials, Kris said that their movie earned P40,739,323.25 nationwide, quite close to the figures released by Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Francis Tolentino.

According to Tolentino, Sisterakas grossed P23.1 million in Metro Manila and another P16.1 million from the provinces for a total of P39.2 million. In second place is the fantasy-comedy Si Agimat, Si Enteng Kabisote at Si Ako, with a P29.5-million total followed by the romantic drama, One More Try and Shake, Rattle & Roll 14 with P13.6 million and P10.5 million, respectively.

If Sisterakas does end up in first place in this year’s festival, Ai Ai delas Alas will have the distinction of starring in all of the top 3 highest grossing MMFF films of all time.

The top 5 highest-grossing films in the history of the MMFF are Enteng Ng Ina Mo (P237.88 million); Ang Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat (P171 million); Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote (P159 million); Ang Tanging Ina Mo (Last na ‘To!) (P157 million) and Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo (P140 million).
