The US premiere of In My Life was a huge success, playing to sold-out crowds in Los Angeles, New Jersey, and San Francisco. Fans lined up at the Alex Theatre in Glendale (Southern California), Fox Theatre in Redwood City (Northern California), and George W. Newman Theatre (Rutherford, New Jersey) to watch the film and to welcome John Lloyd Cruz, Luis Manzano, and Vilma Santos who was making her first movie in years.

“These sold-out premieres clearly demonstrate that the Filipinos in the US have fully embraced the return of the best of Philippine cinema to the big screen,” said Kerwin Du, ABS-CBN North America’s head of theatricals. “They relish the experience of watching quality films where they belong—the movie theater. They are enthusiastic about seeing their favorite stars in person. For us in ABS-CBN, we are gratified to be able to give our kapamilya what they want wherever they are: the best in Philippine entertainment.”
