    Question ‘Annabelle’-highest-grossing horror film in Philippines

    New Line Cinema’s supernatural thriller “Annabelle” is now the biggest-grossing foreign horror movie ever released in the Philippines.

    The film about a doll possessed by an evil spirit has terrified the local box-office to the tune of P121.13 million as of October 13, this according to Francis Soliven, General Manager of Warner Bros. Philippines.

    The gross of previous record-holder “Insidious: Chapter 2” at P113 million was actually surpassed by “Annabelle” after only 12 days of release. Going into its third week, the demonic doll is tracking to dominate the coming weekend again as the audiences’ appetite for a good scare seems boundless.

    “We expect to continue excellent box-office performance for `Annabelle’ as the Halloween season ushers in,” says Soliven. “The combination of an engrossing story, great filmmaking and reliable association with last year’s hit horror film `The Conjuring’ propelled `Annabelle’ to succeed. The film delivered in a huge way.”

    About “Annabelle”:

    She terrified you in “The Conjuring,” but this is where it all began for Annabelle. Capable of unspeakable evil, the actual doll exists locked up in an occult museum in Connecticut—visited only by a priest who blesses her twice a month.

    In the film, John Form has found the perfect gift for his expectant wife, Mia -- a beautiful, rare vintage doll in a pure white wedding dress. But Mia’s delight with Annabelle doesn’t last long.

    On one horrific night, their home is invaded by members of a satanic cult, who violently attack the couple. Spilled blood and terror are not all they leave behind. The cultists have conjured an entity so malevolent that nothing they did will compare to the sinister conduit to the damned that is now...Annabelle.

    Annabelle Wallis (“X-Men: First Class”) and Ward Horton (“The Wolf of Wall Street”) star as the Forms. Oscar nominee Alfre Woodard (“Twelve Years a Slave”) stars as Evelyn, a neighbor who owns a bookstore.

    “Annabelle” reunites the filmmakers behind 2013’s hugely successful supernatural thriller “The Conjuring.” John R. Leonetti, who served as cinematographer on “The Conjuring,” directed the film. James Wan, director of the global hit, produced “Annabelle” with Peter Safran. Gary Dauberman wrote the script.

    Still showing across the Philippines, “Annabelle” is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company

    My wife has a phobia about clowns and scary looking dolls.
    Means she won't come and hold my hand at the cinema
