In a groundbreaking achievement, ABS-CBN Film Productions Inc. (Star Cinema) is witnessing history with its film “#Rewind.” The movie is set to break records by surpassing the remarkable P600 million mark today, establishing itself as the highest-grossing Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) film of all time. This outstanding feat surpasses the previous record held by “The Revengers Squad,” which had a P540 million official run during the MMFF.

Not only does #Rewind make its mark in the history of the MMFF, but it also stands as the highest-grossing Filipino film since the onset of the pandemic. Surpassing the domestic gross record set by “Maid In Malacañang” at P440 million, #Rewind continues to captivate audiences and demonstrate the resilience and success of the Filipino film industry, even in the face of challenging circumstances.

In terms of domestic records, although there is no official data available and the gross is estimated, #Rewind has secured its position as the third-highest-grossing Filipino film of all time. It follows closely behind “The Hows of Us” with a domestic record of P700 million and “Hello Love Goodbye” with a P690 million domestic record. The film is now on track to surpass the P601 million record set by “The Avengers,” propelling it to the 13th spot in the list of the highest-grossing films of all time in the Philippines.

As a testament to its phenomenal success, the Metro Manila Film Festival 2023 has reached a historic milestone by officially grossing ₱1 billion at the box office. This achievement marks a significant moment for the festival, as it is the first time since 2018 that the MMFF has reached the billion-peso mark, underscoring the enduring appeal and success of the festival and the films it showcases.
