A lot of people were impressed with the earnings of the new KathNiel movie, The Hows of Us. Many however noted that the figures mentioned were a little too astronomical to be believable.
Director Cathy Garcia-Molina addressed the said issue.
Instagram post.
The movie starring Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla earned exactly ₱ 35, 938, 622.74 on its opening day, making it the biggest opening gross of a Filipino movie for the year.
“MARAMING SALAMAT PO!!!
Nakakaiyak naman to!!!
Thank you LORD!!!
♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️”
Padding issue.
A netizen with dsd.16 as handle asked why the amount posted is right down to the merest centavo.
“Bakit may butal direk?!?! Dito magsisimula ang padding issue na naman.. 🙄”
Direk Cathy noted that this is where the padding issues should end. Rounded off figures is impossible as ticket prices have an excess amount, too.
“hindi po. Jan nga matatapos padding issue. Kasi galing mismo yan sa official statement. Pag rounded off ang figures, yun ang mas nakakatakot. Kasi impossible na saktong walang butal ang gross. May butal ang presyo ng tickets e. 😊 eksakto to. Promise!”
