The much-anticipated sequel Hello, Love, Again, starring Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards, has secured a spot in the Top 10 of the North American box office, as reported by Comscore. This sequel to the 2019 hit Hello, Love, Goodbye explores the love story and growth of Joy (Bernardo) and Ethan (Richards), set five years after their initial farewell in Hong Kong, now unfolding in Canada.
With earnings of $2.32 million, the film achieved the 8th position, marking a significant milestone as the widest North American release ever for a Filipino movie. Topping the charts this weekend was Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s holiday action-comedy Red One, which raked in $34 million, while Venom: The Last Dance dropped to second with $7.3 million after leading for three weeks.
Completing the top contenders were The Best Christmas Pageant Ever ($5.4 million), the horror film Heretic ($5.1 million), and The Wild Robot ($4.3 million). The weekend’s total box office revenue was estimated at $73.6 million, contributing to a year-to-date total of $7.079 billion—an 11.1% decrease from last year’s figures.
Distributed by Abramorama, a company dedicated to diverse storytelling, Hello, Love, Again has brought fresh cultural narratives to North American audiences, emphasizing the power of multicultural cinema. In 2019, Hello, Love, Goodbye was the highest-grossing Filipino film with P881 million globally until Rewind, starring Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes, surpassed it this year with P889 million.
