The Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards picture "Hello, Love, Goodbye" currently holds the record for the biggest opening weekend for a Filipino film in the US, grossing $2.4 million, according to entertainment website Deadline.
Per Deadline, the film from ABS-CBN Films and GMA Pictures "saw strong turnout and engagement across key markets driven by a robust campaign by AJMC designed to engage core Filipino-American audiences while broadening its appeal to Asian-American, Hispanic, and general moviegoers."
At $9,700, the movie also set the highest theater average for the weekend and the largest opening record for a Filipino film.
Blockbuster, high earner
"Hello, Love, Again" broke the previous opening day record for a Filipino film with a domestic box office gross of P85 million.
In the first three days of release, it made P245 million and set a record for the widest domestic release.
Currently, 1,000 theaters around the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Guam, and Saipan are exhibiting the Cathy Garcia-Sampana-directed movie.
Soon on more countries
The film will be screened in Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates on November 21.
"Hello, Love, Again" is the follow-up to the popular 2019 film "Hello, Love, Goodbye."
