- KathNiel’s “The Hows Of Us” is this year’s highest-grossing film
- “The Hows of Us” – from hopeful dreams to unbearable misery, is love worth fighting for?
Star Cinema’s “The Hows Of Us” starring Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, has breached the ₱500-million mark.
The social media channels of Star Cinema made the announcement today, September 10.
“Maraming, maraming, maraming salamat po for taking this journey with us!!! To God be all the glory! #THOU500MBlessings”
“The Hows Of Us” opened strongly across the country in more than 200 cinemas on August 29.
The movie is now officially KathNiel’s most successful movie to date, topping not only “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” but also “Barcelona: A Love Untold” and “Crazy Beautiful You” — all of which were already considered massive box office successes.
“The Hows of Us,” follows the story of Primo (Daniel Padilla) and George (Kathryn Bernardo), a couple who are in a long-term relationship, building and planning their future together. However, their love will be put to the test as their relationship faces hurdles – from misunderstandings to different career paths, among others.
In her story “Why More Millennials Aren’t in Relationships” published in more.com., Jennifer Lafferty asks if it is “true that millennials and long-term relationships just don’t mix?” One of the more popular explanations in her research is because “Other goals take precedence: Young adults today are very goal oriented and many of them want to make sure they accomplish some important personal and professional goals on their list before they’re saddled with the responsibilities and sacrifices that come with a committed relationship.”
That is the reality conveyed in “The Hows of Us,” a moving portrayal of a couple navigating the hows and whys of their relationship, trying to figure out if staying together is worth the fights and the struggles.
The movie initially opened in just 200 cinemas with ₱35, 938, 622.74 on its first day — a number that has since ballooned to over 400 within just a week. Over Saturday and Sunday, its total went from ₱117 million to ₱279 million.
“The Hows Of Us” is still playing in more than 200 cinemas nationwide.
