During the 60's, Philippine cinema was one of the biggest movie industries in the world, together with United States and India. The country was releasing numerous films then and movie-goers were frequent in theaters. The industry has catapulted numerous names to fame and gained influence, such stars like Fernando Poe Jr. and Dolphy. Nora Aunor, Vilma Santos, Sharon Cuneta and Maricel Soriano were recognized as movie queens for having box-office power. Stars with consistent box office movies in the new generation are Judy Ann Santos, Claudine Barretto, Piolo Pascual, Kris Aquino, Ai-Ai Delas Alas, Vic Sotto, John Lloyd Cruz, Vice Ganda, Anne Curtis, Cristine Reyes, Derek Ramsay, Toni Gonzaga and Sarah Geronimo.
But in the recent decades, the business is rapidly sliding down as the national economy is declining and foreign films are too dominant in the competition. But then again, as marketing strategies of film companies are improving and the quality of feature films are getting better, the box-office in the Philippines is gaining grounds once again. In fact, the industry is generating almost ₱ 2.0 billion in revenue annually and employing 260,000 people at present.
