The blockbuster movie keeps on creating new records in local cinema.
Two days after first reporting that it has become the highest-grossing Filipino film of all-time, Star Cinema and GMA Pictures’ joint production ‘Hello, Love, Again’ has officially breached the Php 1 billion mark.
This was according to the post made by the movie outfits, which proudly shared that it has grossed Php 1.06 billion as of Saturday, November 23.
It is a milestone for Philippine cinema, as there has never been a film in its 105-year-long history to have recorded such gross ticket sales.
The Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards reunion movie has also been able to claim other titles, such as for the highest opening day for any local film at Php 85 million on day 1; the highest single-day gross, when it logged Php 131 million on November 16; and the most-successful Filipino film in the US Box Office after becoming the Top 8 movie in the region during its first weekend.
Directed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana, ‘Hello, Love, Again’ will see Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards’ reprisal of their respective roles as Joy (or Marie, rather) and Ethan from ‘Hello, Love, Goodbye.’
The movie’s main setting has also been moved to Canada, with events happening five years after the story of the first movie that was shot in Hong Kong.
Also part of the sequel film’s cast are Joross Gamboa, Valerie Concepcion, Jennica Garcia, Jameson Blake, Jeffrey Tam, and Lovely Abella.
