Kevin Kreider might be a multi-hyphenate, but he considers his role in Hello, Love, Again, now the Philippines’ highest-grossing film in history, as his first proper acting gig.

As of December 2, the film has grossed a total of 1.4B Philippine pesos ($23.9M) at the global box office.

After his breakout appearance in Netflix reality series Bling Empire, as well as a role in feature film Asian Persuasion, which he also executive produced, Kreider has been busy running his own production outfit, Asian Lead Love Stories (Alls) Production, while also launching a 50-episode webtoon and helping others develop reality shows. Kreider has also been cast in an upcoming American sci-fi thriller feature, as well as a Filipino medical drama.

However, it’s the magic of the cinema that makes him see Hello, Love, Again differently to his other on screen work. “The reason why I consider this my first proper acting...

Upon release in 2019, the romantic drama “Hello, Love, Goodbye” was the highest-grossing Philippine film of all time. (It was surpassed by the time-traveling romance “Rewind” earlier this year.) Directed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana, the film chronicles the struggles of overseas Filipino worker Joy (Kathryn Bernardo) who wishes to earn enough money as a domestic helper in Hong Kong so she can move to Canada for better employment opportunities. She eventually meets the cocky but sweet bartender Ethan (Alden Richards) whose growing affection for Joy puts an end to his wayward womanizing. The two bond over their respective familial woes and professional dreams as expats with fluid conceptions of “home.” Before Joy departs for Canada, they confess their love and promise to meet again.

The film’s sequel, also helmed by Garcia-Sampana, fulfills the promise that Joy and Ethan made to each other, but predictably not without its share of complications. Primarily...

Abs-cbn Films and GMA Pictures’ romantic drama “Hello, Love, Again” achieved a milestone opening weekend of $2.4 million across North America, setting a new record for Philippines cinema in the territory.

The sequel to 2019’s “Hello, Love, Goodbye” surpassed expectations, with its opening weekend earnings already exceeding the entire North American run of its predecessor, which earned $1.99 million. Released by Abramorama in partnership with Ajmc, the film secured the widest release ever for a Filipino production, playing in 248 locations across the U.S. and Canada.

The romance, which reunites stars Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards, posted a strong per-screen average of $9,722. The film follows Joy (Bernardo) and Ethan (Richards) as they reconnect in Canada five years after parting ways in Hong Kong, navigating their changed lives and rekindling their relationship.

Directed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana, who also helmed the original film, “Hello, Love, Again” was written by Carmi Raymundo and Crystal S. San Miguel,...

Updated: Amazon MGM Studio’s big tentpole of the year Red One staggered into action over the weekend with a confirmed $32.1m number one North American debut.

While not a poor number in and of itself for an original film, the reported $250m price tag will raise eyebrows. Despite generally poor reviews, filmgoers gave it an A- Cinemascore, offering hope that if the family holiday season film plays into the holiday season, it might reach a decent number in North America to complement the $51.1m and counting international tally.

Hello, Love, Again, the widest domestic release for a Filipino film, now holds a record for the highest opening weekend for the same with $2.4 million and a no. 8 spot.

Jesse Eisenberg’s A Real Pain crossed $3 million at the box office following its expansion to more than 1,000 theaters in week 3, landing at no. 9 with a $2.3 million gross. Eisenberg stars with Kieran Culkin.

Anora is at no. 10 at $1.8 million on 1,500 screens in week 5 with a cume of $10.5 million.

All We Imagine As Light by Payal Kapadia, had the best ever opening for Sideshow & Janus Films with $51k on three screens in NY and LA. Demand outstripped supply on both coasts with multiple sellouts at all three locations.

Hello, Love, Again is a great marketing story as Abramorama, in collaboration with Ajmc (Amorette Jones Media Consulting), released...

As a touching follow-up, “Hello, Love, Again” picks up where Joy and Ethan’s love story left off in the busy streets of Hong Kong and moved to Canada’s cold, difficult environment. Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards will be back together in this 2024 movie, following the story that won people over in the 2019 hit “Hello, Love, Goodbye.”

We last saw Joy and Ethan part ways five years ago. In the new movie, they get back together during the Covid-19 outbreak, which has changed the world. Joy, who is now going by the name Marie, has made a hard road for herself in Canada. She is still working hard to become a nurse and figure out how to live as an immigrant. Ethan returns, bringing his dreams and disappointments, hoping to start over and maybe get back in touch with her.

The second book isn’t just a love story...

Filipino superstars Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards have joined forces once more for Hello, Love, Again, the sequel to 2019's landmark box office success Hello, Love, Goodbye. The duo surprised audiences in the Philippines and around the world with their incredible chemistry in the firm film, which told the story of Joy (Bernardo) and Ethan (Richards) finding love as overseas workers in Hong Kong. The movie's ending begged for a cliffhanger, and five years later, fans finally get to learn what happened after Joy left Hong Kong for Canada.

Hello, Love, Again also welcomes back Cathy Garcia-Sampana, whose directorial vision had a big hand in the popularity of Hello, Love, Goodbye. The sequel brings viewers up to speed with Joy and Ethan's lives since their farewell, moving the action to Calgary once Ethan rejoins Joy (who now goes by Marie) to work and fight for their young love. Despite the...

Five years after their onscreen union received massive fan acclaim, Filipino superstars Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards return to play Joy and Ethan in Hello, Love, Again. The sequel to 2019's box office smash hit Hello, Love, Goodbye finds Joy (Bernardo) living and struggling in Canada after having left Ethan (Richards) behind in Hong Kong. Five years after the events of the first film, Ethan makes his way to Canada as well, and the lovebirds are faced with how much they've each changed.

Cathy Garcia-Sampana is back to direct Hello, Love, Again, which has already set its own record as scoring the widest North American release ever for a Filipino film. Fans all around the world have eagerly anticipated Bernardo and Richards' reunion, and the movie delivers a touching tribute not only to the challenges Filipino expats face abroad but also to the enduring nature of young love. While the...

Exclusive: Filipino film Hello, Love, Again, the sequel to the 2019 box office hit Hello, Love, Goodbye, will release in theaters across the U.S. and Canada on November 15.

Hello, Love, Goodbye was the Philippines’ highest-grossing film of all time until it was surpassed by Rewind this year after Rewind earned nearly $17 million at the global box office.

With Hello, Love, Again set to show across 200 to 250 theaters on opening, North American distributor Abramorama says that the film will have the widest North American release to date for a Filipino film.

Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards reprise their roles in the sequel, which is directed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana.

Hello, Love, Again also marks the first collaboration on a film between long-time industry rivals Abs-cbn’s film production outfit Star Cinema and GMA Network’s film production company GMA Pictures. Parent companies Abs-cbn and GMA have collaborated on several television series as...

The Road opened in cities across the country today as part of its limited theatrical release and is now available on a variety of on-demand services. During a recent talk with director Yam Laranas, I learned about the evolution of this film from a single story idea, scaring child actors, and his next project:

When did you first start working on The Road and what was your inspiration for the story?

Yam Laranas: I started in 2005 and was dabbling with the idea of creating a claustrophobic film that wasn’t happening in a haunted house. So I thought about how scary it is to be lost on a dark road, not knowing where to go. I remember being lost on a dark road during a road trip and you feel trapped.

What changed since your original idea from 2005?

Yam Laranas: When I started writing, I only wrote about...
