Another blockbuster hit for the tandem.
During the ASAP XP show in Pampanga on Sunday, October 11, the tandem of Joshua Garcia and Julia Barretto thanked viewers as ABS-CBN’s film production company Star Cinema announced a milestone for their movie Always Yours, Never Mine.
According to the company, the project, which is now on its second week, has crossed the PHP 100 million mark in the box office.
According to the official synopsis provided, “Always Yours, Never Mine is a romantic drama spanning three decades, following Apollo (Joshua) and Luna (Julia) whose lives intersect at different points in time. Each reunion presents a choice, with every decision shaping the paths they take and the lives they leave behind.”
Starring alongside them in this movie is Chanda Romero, Ina Raymundo, Karen Reyes, Bob Jbeili, Migs Almendras, Paulo Angeles, Franco Laurel, Reign Parani, Paolo Gumabao, Jan Silverio, and Joy Barcoma—who will be making her acting debut through this project.
The film also includes Kapuso Prime Gem Bianca Umali in her first-ever project with Star Cinema.
The project is helmed by director Cathy Garcia-Sampana, with its story created by renowened filmmaker Olivia Lamasan, together with Trishtan Perez and Vanessa Valdez.
This also serves as the JoshLia’s tandem’s comeback more than two years after the mega-blockbuster flick Un/Happy For You in 2024.
