ABS-CBN Films announces a strong performance as its newest title, “Meet, Greet & Bye,” surpasses P120 million in global box-office revenue as of November 17. The film premiered overseas on November 13 in Australia, New Zealand, and several Middle Eastern countries, followed by openings in the US, Canada, and Guam on November 14. Over the weekend, it also began screening in the UK, Ireland, Austria, Italy, and France.

The movie is also set for upcoming releases in Papua New Guinea starting November 20, Greece on November 22, and Spain on November 23. Additional regions on the schedule include Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, and Brunei later this month, with Cambodia set for December 12.

“Meet, Greet & Bye” previously recorded P85 million in local box-office receipts during its first five-day theatrical run in the Philippines beginning November 12.

The family drama features Filipino stars Piolo Pascual, Joshua Garcia, Belle Mariano, Juan Karlos, and Maricel Soriano, and is directed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana, the filmmaker behind the highest-grossing local movie in Philippine history, “Hello, Love, Again.”

The narrative centers on four siblings who go to great lengths to fulfill their mother’s final wish—to meet her beloved Korean idol, Park Seo-Joon.
