In an exciting start to the 2025 cinema season, Kimote has officially claimed the title of the most-grossing film at the cinema this year, drawing an impressive 410 moviegoers over its opening weekend alone.
Premiering on Friday, Kimote captivated 120 viewers, followed by an even larger crowd of 135 on Saturday. By Sunday, excitement around the film had peaked, pulling in 155 eager fans. The overwhelming attendance over the three days marks an outstanding achievement, setting a high bar for future releases this year.
Cinema operators and film critics alike are praising Kimote not just for its powerful storytelling and production quality, but for its ability to reignite enthusiasm among cinema-goers. With the movie scheduled to continue screening for another four days, industry insiders are already speculating that Kimote could break even more records by the end of its full cinema run.
"This is a phenomenal response," said one cinema manager. "We haven’t seen such high weekend numbers since before the pandemic. Kimote has truly brought people back to the theaters."
The buzz around Kimote shows no signs of slowing down. As audiences continue to pour in, this landmark film may very well secure its place in cinema history.
