DreamWorks Animation’s “Forgotten Island” tops the Philippine box office during its opening weekend, taking in P97,236,533, according to its distributor, Universal Pictures Philippines. Both outlets describe this as the biggest opening weekend for a DreamWorks Animation film in the country. Inquirer.net similarly reports the opening as nearly P98 million and characterizes it as a record for the studio in the Philippines.

Both sources also tie the results to the film’s theme, noting that it draws from Filipino mythology and culture. The movie follows best friends Raissa and Jo, who discover a magical portal on the night of their high school graduation and are transported to the mysterious island of Nakali. Inquirer.net adds extra context by calling it the biggest opening weekend for a non-franchise animated film in the Philippines, while Interaksyon focuses on the record-setting DreamWorks Animation milestone.
