The romance-drama film featuring Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards debuted at No. 8, earning $2.3 million at the box office. This marks the first time a Filipino movie has broken into the Top 10 in the US.

In the Philippines, the movie grossed over P90 million in ticket sales on its third day (Nov. 15), setting a new record as the highest single-day box-office gross for a Philippine film.

From 500 local cinemas on its opening day, “Hello, Love, Again” is now screening in 726 cinemas nationwide, the biggest reach in local film history. 

Apart from the Philippines, the sequel to “Hello, Love, Goodbye” is also screening in Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, Guam, and Saipan. It started screening in London on Nov. 16.

The film, directed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana, is also slated to have screenings in Singapore, Malaysia, the Middle East, Cambodia, and Hong Kong this month.

“Hello, Love, Again” earned P85 million at the box office on its opening day last Nov. 13, making it the highest first-day grossing local film in Philippine history. Its second-day earnings amounted to P70 million.
