This third and said to be final installment of the country's most successful romantic comedy film series in history is also the highest earning film in the entire franchise surpassing the P179.3 million earnings of A Very Special Love (2008) and will surely beat the P225.2 million ticket sales of You Changed My Life four years ago.

Meanwhile, John Lloyd Cruz is very thankful to all those who have already seen the movie.
