The biggest Filipino film of the first quarter.
Last Wednesday, May 7, ABS-CBN Studios and Star Cinema confirmed the official gross of romantic-comedy flick ‘My Love Will Make You Disappear,’ which began screenings last March.
As per the content production giants, the Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino-starrer was able to rake in Php 173 million in the global box-office, which accounts its combined ticket sales in the Philippines and abroad.
With this development, Chiu expressed her gratitude to moviegoers, saying in an interview with ABS-CBN News, “We’re very thankful, very happy and parang nakakatuwa na maramdaman ‘yung suporta ng mga tao.”
Avelino echoed the sentiment and also thanked fans that organized block screenings for them.
“Very grateful to anyone who supported the movie, organized block screenings not just here in the Philippines but also abroad, so thank you so much.”
Prior to this, Star Cinema previously disclosed that ‘MLWMYD’ earned Php 12 million on its first full day of screening last March 26, before getting a major boost and hitting Php 100 million by March 31.
Although, it is not yet the final figure yet, as last Friday, May 9, the film began showing in theaters in Taiwan.
The project marks the first big screen outing of Kim and Paulo, also known as KimPau, after previously topbilling the drama serials ‘Linlang’ in 2023 and the Philippine adaptation of ‘What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim?’ in 2024.
Joining them in the film are Wilma Doesnt, Nico Antonio, Martin Escudero, Lovely Abella, Benj Manalo, and Karina Bautista, with Melai Cantiveros-Francisco also taking a special role in the movie as the voice of Sari’s pet Cookie.
‘My Love Will Make You Disappear’ is under the direction of Chad Vidanes and produced by ABS-CBN Studios and Star Cinema.
