BIZ BUZZ: KathDen flick breaks into US box office top 10
ABS-CBN’s Star Cinema and GMA Pictures are reaping the success of “Hello, Love, Again,” the much-awaited sequel of top-grossing film “Hello, Love, Goodbye.”
The movie starring seasoned actors Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards debuted at No. 8 in the US box office after raking in $2.4 million.
Locally, it also made history by grossing P85 million on opening day, a record for a Filipino film. Ticket sales nearly tripled in its three days of showing, reaching P245 million in total.
The film, which not only tackles the love story of couple Joy and Ethan, but also the struggles of overseas Filipino workers, is currently showing in 1,000 cinemas across the world, including the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Guam and Saipan.
Veteran director Cathy Garcia-Sampana helmed the film, which is also set to premier in Singapore, Malaysia, the Middle East, Cambodia and Hong Kong this month.
