Half a billion pesos
and counting
Star Cinema’s “The Hows of
Us,” starring Kathryn Bernardo
and Daniel Padilla with Cathy Gar-
cia-Molina at the helm, is a huge
box-office hit.
The drama has grossed more
than P600 million since it opened
in local theaters on September 7.
This was announced by Star
Cinema’s promotions head Roxy
Liquigan and advertising director
Mico del Rosario at the movie’s
victory party at the ELJ building
on September 12. A thanksgiving
mass officiated by Fr. Caluag pre-
ceded the celebration.
“Hindi pa kasama diyan ang
posibleng maging gross ng ‘The
Hows of Us’ sa showing nito
abroad,” said Star Cinema’s pub-
licity experts. “As it is, marami
nang theaters abroad ang nagpa-
book, based on the repost of the
TFC (The Filipino Channel, ABS-
CBN’s online platform).
Meanwhile, Olive Lamasan,
Star Cinema’s managing director,
said: “Ang higit na nakakatuwa at
nakakatabang-puso ay ang maga-
gandang reviews at feedback
na nilikha ng ‘The Hows of Us.’
Thus, I would like to congratulate
and give the film’s creative team,
headed by Carmi Raymundo, a
pat on the back.
“Let’s hope they keep up the
good work!”
The movie’s stars Kathryn
Bernardo and Daniel Padilla (DJ)
are overwhelmed by the movie’s
success.
The duo have been paired
nine times and “The Hows of Us”
seems poised to be their biggest
hit.
“In our opinion,” said Kath-
ryn, “minus the cooperation and
hard work of our co-stars, pro-
duction staff, crew, plus the utility
personnel, the film would not have
turned into a complete package.
“So, to all of them, our grati-
tude.
“DJ and I, plus all those in-
volved in the making of the ‘The
Hows of Us,’ want to express our
utmost gratitude to all those who
watched the movie… And to those
who will still watch it.” ●
