Not too many local moviegoers are paying attention to this movie, which has been getting rave reviews from those who saw it, as well as journalists. Even the new star Frencheska Farr's getting lots of positive feedback.

Here's the local review of Emir

Ambitious Folly (Movie Review for Emir) @ ClickTheCity.com Movies

Too bad Emir had to open the same week as The A-Team and Karate Kid. I doubt it will score well in the local box-office. Watch out for next week's Philippine box-office update on Boxofficemojo.com

Inquirer review

‘Emir’ hits some discordant notes - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos

With all the enthusiasm of filmmaking here in Cebu, I'm surprised no local filmmaker could come up with the effort to shoot a musical.

All the talk about "reviving" local cinema is just that - talk and no action or resources.

This movie only made P1.9 million on its opening according to this report.

Try adding the cost of P50,000,000+ (reported budget), and do the math.

By the way, you saw the movie already?

To those who saw the movie, was Emir good or bad?

Some moviegoers online even called it "Pang Oscar" or "world class"

This movie is a box office flop!

Made for P70,000,000, it made less than P5 million to date!
