The film has broken another record.
After becoming the highest-grossing film post-COVID-19 pandemic, Star Cinema’s 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival entry ‘Rewind’ has achieved yet another milestone.
According to the latest figures from ABS-CBN’s film production arm, the drama movie starring Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera has recorded Php 845 million in worldwide gross as of 3:00 pm today, January 17, 2024.
It is now the Metro Manila Film Festival’s highest-grossing film ever in its 49-year-long history.
Currently, ‘Rewind’ is shown in 300 cinemas in the Philippines, USA, Guam, Saipan, and Canada.
It dislodged another Star Cinema film from the top spot of domestic box office sales records.
‘Rewind’ has surpassed the local sales of ‘Hello, Love, Goodbye’.
Although, it should be noted that the 2019 movie starring Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards raked in a total of Php 880 million in worldwide box office during the entirety its theatrical run more than four years ago.
Trailing both ‘Rewind’ and ‘HLG’ is another Star Cinema film: the 2018 movie ‘The Hows of Us’ starring anew Kathryn Bernardo, this time with former real-life partner Daniel Padilla.
‘THOU’ made history when it became the Philippines’ first mega-blockbuster to reach the Php 800 million mark — it now currently holds the distinction of being the third highest-grossing Filipino movie of all-time.
Back to ‘Rewind,’ the SC movie serves as the silver screen comeback of celebrity power couple Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera.
The last time they starred in a film together was back in 2010 for ‘You To Me Are Everything’.
Although, they have respectively made movies for Star Cinema in the past.
Dingdong, to date, has been in at least seven Star Cinema movies.
His latest prior to ‘Rewind’ was ‘Fantastica’ with Vice Ganda, which was the highest-grossing film during the 2018 Metro Manila Film Festival.
Rivera’s previous stint with the film outfit, meanwhile, was nearly a decade ago for the 2014 comedy-action movie ‘Kung Fu Divas’ with Aiai delas Alas.
After ‘Rewind,’ DongYan fans will be able to catch the couple on-screen, this time on free television.
