The highly anticipated sequel to the blockbuster film “Hello, Love, Goodbye,” “Hello, Love, Again,” starring Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards, has taken the Philippine box office by storm. On its opening day, November 13, 2024, the film grossed an astonishing **₱85 million,** setting a new record for the highest first-day earnings of a local film in the Philippines.

This remarkable achievement reflects not only the star power of its leads but also the emotional resonance of its narrative, which continues to captivate audiences.

“Hello, Love, Again” premiered in over 600 cinemas across the Philippines and is set to expand to more than 400 international cinemas. Within just two days of release, the film has already amassed ₱155 million, signaling a strong trajectory towards becoming one of the highest-grossing Filipino films of all time. The midnight screenings on its opening night drew thousands of fans eager to witness the continuation of Joy and Ethan’s love story in Canada.

The duo’s ability to convey deep emotional connections is evident throughout the film. Critics have noted that their performances are not just about romantic chemistry but also about portraying complex emotions that resonate with many people’s real-life experiences. This authenticity has undoubtedly contributed to the film’s box office success.

As social media buzzes with excitement over “Hello, Love, Again,” various topics related to the film have trended online. Fans have taken to platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to express their love for Kathryn and Alden’s characters, further fueling interest in the film.

The film’s goal is not only to break records but also to reclaim the title of highest-grossing Filipino film, currently held by “Rewind,” which surpassed ₱900 million at the box office last year. As “Hello, Love, Again” continues its run in cinemas worldwide, it stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of romantic storytelling in Filipino cinema.

In conclusion, “Hello, Love, Again” is more than just a box office hit; it represents a heartfelt journey of love and connection that resonates deeply with audiences. Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards’ dynamic performances are at the heart of this narrative success, making it a must-watch for fans and newcomers alike.
