Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes
grossed P120M in 20 days
After three weeks, the movie Ang
Dalawang Mrs. Reyes grossed P120
million in the Philippine box-office.
Top-billed by Judy Ann Santos
and Angelica Panganiban, this
drama-comedy film also stars Joross
Gamboa and JC de Vera.
The film reached this milestone
earlier today, February 5, or twenty
days after its premiere last January
17.
The box-office earnings of
the movie was announced by Star
Cinema AdProm manager Mico
del Rosario through his Instagram
account.
Directed by Jun Robles Lana,
this drama-comedy film is graded A
by the Cinema Evaluation Board.
One of the most-talked about
scenes in the movie is the seduction
scene between Judy Ann and Joross,
who plays her husband in the film.
Judy Ann’s character underwent
breast enlargement surgery in order
to seduce her husband. She posed
provocatively while sipping wine in
their garden area. When she turned
around, her husband was shocked to
see her boob job.
According to Direk Jun Lana,
Judy Ann actually drank wine on the
set of Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes.
The actress drank some alcohol
to let her guard down as they filmed
the seduction scene.
“Talagang takot siya, e,” Direk
Jun was quoted as saying by ABS-
CBN News in an interview.
“When we were doing the film,
takot talaga siya, nararamdaman ko.
Nagtutulungan talaga kami.”
“Yung eksena lang sa swimming
pool--I think I can now tell this story-
-bago namin kunan iyon, kailangan
niya uminom, kailangan niya mag-
wine. Nakadalawang baso siya ng
wine.”
Direk Jun recalled: “Natatakot
siya. Sinabi niya sa akin, ‘Kung
gagawin ko ‘to, kailangan i-embrace
ko, kasi kapag hindi, hindi maganda
ang eksena.’ So sabi niya sa akin,
‘Bigyan mo ako ng ilang minuto,
iinom ako!’ Nag-work naman!”●
