Can 17 million trailer views spell box-office success for ‘Family Matters’?
The trailer of Family Matters, an entry to the 2022 Metro Manila Film Festival, is said to have drawn 17 million views. But can these numbers assure the movie of box office success?
Trailers are viewed for free. But a movie ticket now costs over P300. It remains to be seen whether even just a fraction of the 17 million views of Family Matters will show up at cinemas on the MMFF's holiday run starting on 25 December.
Then again, it has been proven that Pinoys turn out in droves with their respective families during the MMFF.

The cast of 'Family Matters.'
As its title says, Family Matters is about a household. The story revolves around the patriarch, who suffers a stroke, and his six grown-up children who clash over various issues.

Agot Isidro is Buencamino's wife.
In the cast are Ana Luna, Ina Feleo, Ketchup Eusebio, and Roxanne Guinoo.
