"Way Back Home" raked a whooping 18 million pesos during its first week, topping the box office, Box Office Mojo reported.



According to Box Office Mojo, The Star Cinema movie knocked "The Smurfs" (#2) from the top spot and led other films which debuted the same week, "Conan the Barbarian"(#3) and "Crazy Stupid Love" (#4). "Rise of the Planets of Apes" and "Cowboys & Aliens" took the 5th and 6th spot respectively while Eugene Domingo-starrer "Ang Babae sa Septic Tank" which raised P2.15M more in its third week came in at #7 - "Ang Babae sa Septic Tank" now has a total estimated earnings of P30.26M.



"Captain America" (#8), the last "Harry Potter" movie(#9), and "Transformers 3" (#10) also made it to the Top 10 list.



The data above were gathered from August 17-22, 2011.

Tween Academy: Class of 2012 and Way Back Home, two tween movies from two rival networks, are both released this month of August. Both tackling about life, family and love as experienced by the youth, their performances at the box office would somehow be the ultimate test in determining which has a larger following, the Mara Clara or the Tween Hearts cast?
