The Chad Vidanes-directed romance received 1.5 million views during its debut week (July 7-13, 2025) on Netflix. The solid figure aligns with recent local films that premiered on the streaming service, including Un/Happy For You (2 million) and Balota (1.4 million), though it falls short of the studio's recent juggernauts Hello, Love, Again (3.5 million), and And The Breadwinner Is...(2.6 million).
Nevertheless, it's another strong testament for Star Cinema that they can deliver a box office and streaming hit which is vital, as theatrical releases arguably generate more revenue for the studio. This film, for instance, grossed ₱173 million in sales.
In the film, Sari (Kim Chiu), a woman who loses every man she loves, and Jolo (Paulo Avelino), a struggling landlord, cross paths as they strive to save a community from displacement.
The number is also enough for the film to place in the global non-English movie chart during the tracking week, placing seventh. The film was also able to secured a top ten placing on three more markets: Bahrain, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates.
Another local film premiered solidly week on the service, as Sakaling Hindi Makarating placed ninth in the most-watched movies chart in the country. Co-written, shot, co-produced, and directed by Ice Idanan in her directorial debut, the film stars Alessandra De Rossi. This is a very good performance for an independent film released back in 2016 during the CineFilipino Film Festival.
