Star Cinema reported that the 2023 film raked in P889 million for its global gross as of January 26, 2024. It's expected to hit P1 billion, as it is still currently being shown in cinemas in the Philippines, USA, UAE, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Guam, and Saipan. It's definitely a testament to Marian and Dingdong's star power, as well as the movie's beautiful storyline!
Although they did not win any awards at the Metro Manila Film Festival 2023—despite garnering 11 (!) nominations, the Marian and Dingdong-led drama film left a lasting impact on the public, who praised its story of a husband struggling to come to terms with his wife passing away in a car accident and navigating how to ~turn back~ time.
The film, which was directed by Mae Cruz Alviar, is now in its fifth week of showing after it was released on Christmas Day 2023.
