The new Jason Paul Laxamana-directed feature opened to 2 million global views on the streaming service (equivalent to 3.4 million hours viewed). This is a solid opening for the Netflix original movie starring Maris Racal and Anthony Jennings.
In the film, stuck with a massive debt after falling for a scam, two wannabe socialites create elaborate fake identities to swindle the rich out of their money.
Hello, Love, Again took a dive during this tracking week but still big enough to place in the top ten. The Kathryn Bernardo-Alden Richards romantic drama placed sixth and can likely stay in the chart for a few more weeks.
In the sequel, after fighting for their love to conquer time, distance and a global shutdown that keeps them apart, Joy and Ethan meet again in Canada but realize that they have also changed a lot, individually.
Balota also continues to secure a spot on Philippines' top film chart. This week the Marian Rivera-led thriller placed 10th on the chart.
In the film, a teacher puts her life on the line to protect a ballot box full of crucial votes as corrupt forces threaten to overturn a key local election. Film also stars Will Ashley, Nico Antonio, Royce Cabrera, Raheel Bhyria, Sue Prado, Sassa Gurl, Esnyr Ranollo, Donna Cariaga, Joel Saracho, Gardo Versoza, & Mae Paner.
