Buddy comedy of the year
CROWE AND GOSLING. Team up in “The Nice Guys.”
RUSSELL Crowe and Ryan Gosling team up in the new action-comedy caper, “The Nice Guys,” megged by Shane Black (“Iron Man 3”).
Set in the ’70s, the stars’ relationship gets off to a bumpy start, but they’re “forced” to work together to solve the case of the missing daughter of a chief justice—and the seemingly unrelated death of a porn star.
Dubbed “the buddy comedy of 2016,” “The Nice Guys” bristles with funny, tough-guy dialogue and explosive action, and is coscripted by Black with Anthony Bagarozzi.
‘Teniente Gimo’
Opening on June 1, Roland M. Sanchez’s “Teniente Gimo” is set in Iloilo in the 1950s and deftly combines horror, aswangs, romance and comedy. An additional trendy come-on is its use of “hugot” lines drawn from everyday lingo and real-life experiences.
“Teniente Gimo” is distributed by Viva Films and topbills John Regala, Julio Diaz, Suzette Ranillo, Mon Confiado, Eliza Pineda and Joshua Dionisio.
Top grosser
“X-Men: Apocalypse” reigned supreme at the box office last week, with an opening weekend gross of P230 million on 476 screens. It’s the biggest opening for 2016 after “Captain America: Civil War.”
The film also topped the box office internationally as well as regionally, with top grosses in India, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.
