There is no stopping the KathDen fever!
Alden Richards and Kathryn Bernardo’s “Hello, Love, Again” has already reached P520 million in local gross sales as of November 18 (6:00 p.m.), according to a “24 Oras” report by Patricia Tumulak on Monday night.
It was also reported that a portion of the film’s proceeds will be donated to the affected communities and victims of the recent typhoons.
The Cathy Garcia-Sampana-directed sequel has also amassed a tremendous fan base in the United States, reportedly earning $2.4 million — tantamount to almost P141 million — since making its US premiere in more than 240 cinemas last weekend.
These numbers have placed “Hello, Love, Again” into the eighth spot on the current list of Top 10 films in the US, becoming the first Filipino movie to do so.
“Hello, Love, Again” has had relentless success since making its big screen debut on the night of November 12.
It racked up P85 million in local gross sales on opening day, before cruising to P155 million on its second day.
The upward trend continued for the GMA Pictures and Star Cinema collaboration movie, amassing more than P245 million in only three days of showing.
A sequel to the 2019 box-office hit “Hello, Love, Goodbye,” “Hello, Love, Again” follows the story of Ethan and Joy (played by Alden and Kathryn, respectively)– two OFWs whose lives get intertwined after a chance meeting at a bar in Hong Kong– five years after the events in HLG.
The rom-com drama is a collaboration film between GMA Pictures and Star Cinema that also stars Joross Gamboa, Valerie Concepcion, Jennica Garcia, Kevin Kreider, Ruby Rodriguez, and more.
