Will you do a movie marathon while dancing for a chance to win awesome prizes? Groups of avid film viewers danced the 24-hours away last June 27 at the Star Movies Move-A-Thon and proved that they can shake that thing, while watching the best and most popular movies of all time. And well, it doesn't hurt that one of the group won the grand prize of Php200,000.
With each movie binge embracing a different theme, Star
Movies marathons have been highly successful, garnering thousands of entries
each time. Starting with a straight-up movie marathon with unlimited food and
drinks in 2010, the Star Movies marathon was upgraded with a fitness theme with
yoga and other physical challenges in 2012; a rigid boot camp theme in 2013,
where the grand prize was awarded to just one hardy individual; and a
scare-a-thon of all horror movies in 2015, where 500 participants were required
to sit completely still until one winner remained.
The Star Movies Move-A-Thon is the channel’s seventh movie
marathon, and it was the first time that viewers were allowed to compete in
teams. Participants get to dance non-stop for an entire day while watching the movies like Dirty Dancing, Frozen and the like. And because of the nature of the
contest, Star Movies took the movie marathon out of the cinemas and onto the
dance floor, holding it in the nightlife mecca of House Manila at Resorts World
Manila. The channel and partner sponsors also provided contestants with food
and beverages throughout the day.
Not only did the teams have to move continuously throughout
the contest, all while enjoying memorable films, but they also had to go
through various challenges in order to earn their bathroom breaks. Contestants
scrambled to follow the rigid requirements of the movie marathon while thinking
of their teammates’ physical comfort, resulting in a fun and chaotic dance-party-slash-movie marathon
that went down in Star Movies history. In the end, the last team dancing—and
watching—was declared the winner of the movie marathon. The five team members
had the privilege of sharing the grand prize of PHP200,000.
The Move-A-Thon Grand Winners are the KPop Moveathoners - Regiely Prado, Rona Liezl Cruz, Paul Ian Lorica, Michael John Prado and John Wilford Prado.
Fun, stellar movies and dancing - only Star Movies can give you that and more. Seeing these people participate makes me want to join too. After all, nobody puts baby in the corner, right?
