A week after the release of Viva Films-produced film Pee Mak, headlined by Bea Binene (as Pee Nang) and Wilbert Ross (as Mak), it continued to gain support from its fans and moviegoers, as it hit more than PHP 40 million (USD 630,149.50) in gross sales a week after the film was released to more than 200 cinemas in the Philippines as of October 22, 2026.
Pee Mak is one of the latest film offerings produced by Viva Films under the direction of Victor Villanueva, and is based on the 2013 supernatural horror comedy romance film originally produced by GMM Tai Hub, the now-defunct film production entity led by GMM Grammy from Thailand, which was helmed by Banjong Pisanthanakun and led by Mario Maurer and Davika Hoome.
The film production entity recently held its Victory Screening at the SM City Manila Cinema 2. Before the screening took place, the Victory Screening was announced on their social media accounts of Viva Films on October 20, 2026, with tickets are priced at PHP 199.00. However, a day later, all seats for the said movie screening were sold out.
Also, before the film’s actual release to Philippine cinemas on October 14, 2026, Viva Films led a series of Talkback Screenings for Pee Mak, featuring some of the stars featuring in the film, including Bea and Wilbert. The first two Talkback Screenings, which were held at SM North EDSA a day before the film’s release, sold all of the tickets out in 20 minutes for the 17:00 screening in Cinema 3, followed by the 16:00 screening in Cinema 2.
The third Talkback Screening, which also took place in the same cinema at the said flagship SM Supermall in Quezon City at 20:00, also sold out all the seats. On the day of the film’s release (October 14, 2026), Viva also held two more Talkback Screenings for Pee Mak, this time taking place at the Gateway Cineplex Cinema 1, at 18:00 for the fourth screening – which was later sold out a few days after, followed by at the Gateway Cineplex Cinema 3, at 18:30 for the fifth screening.
The film’s trailer had achieved more than 8.5 million online video views within the 24-hour window since the publication of the video on their social media accounts. Apart from Wilbert and Bea, the comedy-horror film also stars Jairus Aquino, Vandolph Quizon, TJ Valderrama, and Gian Bernardino.
In terms of social media, online trends on X/Twitter have taken all over the place in the Philippines, with the taglines “PEEMAK ANG UNANG ARAW”, “Gabi Ng PeeMak”, and “PEEMAK SISILIP NA” trending online. The film screenings have also shown its all-out support for its fans by selling out all tickets in most cinemas where the film was screened nationwide.
Pee Mak, which was released locally on October 14, 2026, is currently showing in more than 200 Philippine cinemas nationwide on its 2nd Blockbuster Week, and will soon be released globally in the coming days, including in the Arab World on October 29, 2026; followed by California (San Francisco and Los Angeles), United States on October 30, 2026.
