Two weeks after the release of the highly anticipated and positively received Regal Entertainment-Project 8 film Almost Us, directed by Dan Villegas, and topbilled by Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11 ex-housemates JM Ibarra and Fyang Smith, the producers announced on May 19, 2026, that it reached over PHP 30 million (USD 487,574.96) in Box Office sales since its release on May 6, 2026.
As of this writing, the romantic-comedy film is still showing in an extended run, showing in about 90 cinemas nationwide, on its third week. Earlier today, the Gen Z love teams from PBB and Star Magic appeared at the Spotlight Presscon of the talent agency, where they discussed their recently released projects, including Love Is Never Gone, a Prime Original series headlined by Joshua Garcia and Ivana Alawi.
The third episode of Love Is Never Gone also starred Kanata Tapia as Ms. Mendoza, where they fought against Raya (Fyang Smith) about paying for parking, which she said that “it was made for the rich and privileged people,” which was later stopped by Ronnie (JM) and discussed in this issue, and told Ms. Mendoza (Kanata) to stay in the office. In contrast, the others left after being told that it was Raya should not do that again.
Almost Us is showing in its third week, in 90 cinemas nationwide. Love Is Never Gone is streaming exclusively via Prime Video, releasing two new episodes every Friday at midnight (Philippine Standard Time), and is available in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.
