Enrique Gil's I Am Not Big Bird earned more in the box office than girlfriend Liza Soberano's Hollywood debut film Lisa Frankenstein here in the country.

Soberano's film opened in the Philippines on 7 February, two days ahead its US opening. Gil's comeback movie after four years of hibernation (with Soberano before eventually moving to the US last year) opened in theaters nationwide on 14 February. It came a day after the film had a gala premiere night that Soberano was not able to attend even as she came home that day for a quick video shoot for a product she endorses. By that time, she already knew that her horror-comedy film did not do well both here in the country and in the US despite the seemingly more than adequate publicity and promo its producer, Universal Pictures, managed to pull off in both countries.

The Philippine office of Universal Pictures did not release figures on Lisa Frankenstein's box office take hereabout, nor did the producers of I Am Not Big Bird. But some columnists of PEP.ph talked with film bookers in the Philippines about the two films' performance at the tills and learned that Gil's movie earned P2.9 million on opening day but it's intake peaked to a total of P10 million to possibly P15 million the whole week. That's not bad at all since other Pinoy movies that were shown alongside that of Gil reportedly did not make beyond P2 million each throughout their whole run.

As for Soberano's movie, it's the worldwide revenue figure that Hollywood media reported: a mere $5 million.
