<p>MANILA -- New York-based distributor Abramorama has acquired the theatrical rights to screen the documentary &quot;Eraserheads: Combo On The Run&quot; in North America.</p><p>In a statement, the band said this marks Abramorama’s first Philippine documentary acquisition, joining its slate of prestige music film titles that includes Ron Howard’s &quot;The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years&quot;; Oscar Sansom’s &quot;Placebo: This Search for Meaning&quot;; John McDermott’s &quot;Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision,&quot; and &quot;Carole King: Home Again&quot;; as well as &quot;Coldplay: Moon Music,&quot; presented as a global theatrical listening event.</p><p>The film will open in multiple cinemas across the US and Canada on April 24, and will be marked by an official event at SXSW 2026 next month.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1772161787711COTR3.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-dragging" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Eraserheads. <em>Handout</em></span></span></span></div><p>“I’m incredibly excited about this partnership with Abramorama. They are the perfect home for this film, not just because of their legacy in music documentaries, but because they understand stories that resonate on a deeper cultural level. While the film is rooted in the Eraserheads’ music, it ultimately speaks to division, reconciliation, and healing during a turbulent political moment. Those themes feel especially relevant today, not only for Filipinos, but for audiences everywhere,” said Maria Diane Ventura, director and producer of &quot;Eraserheads: Combo On The Run.&quot;</p><p>She added: “It’s also deeply important to me that this film helps reintroduce the band and their music to a new generation, and that it creates space for Filipino stories, nuance, and complexity to be seen with greater depth. Filipinos are part of so many communities around the world, and I hope this film allows people to see us more fully, while also reminding audiences more broadly how powerful it is to feel seen in culture. When people recognize themselves in a story, it creates empathy, connection, and a sense of shared humanity across communities. Ultimately, this film is about how stories and music can bring us closer to one another, even across divides and differences.”</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1772161826772COTR2.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Handout</span></span></span></div><p>&quot;Eraserheads: Combo On The Run&quot; has marked several  milestones, including becoming the first Filipino music documentary to receive the widest theatrical release in the Philippines through Warner Bros., and the first Filipino film to be featured and screened at San Diego Comic-Con. </p><p>It was also recognized on the global festival circuit, winning Best International Documentary at the Ierapetra International Feature Documentary Festival in Greece, and screening as part of the official Spotlight on the Philippines program at the 44th Annual Hawaii International Film Festival, as well as Doc Berlin and the Liverpool Film Festival.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/movies-series/2025/8/13/-eraserheads-combo-on-the-run-wins-best-international-feature-documentary-in-greece-1244" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&#x27;Eraserheads: Combo On The Run&#x27; wins Best International Feature Documentary in Greece</a></div><div><a href="http://​https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/movies-series/2025/7/11/eraserheads-combo-on-the-run-docu-to-screen-at-san-diego-comic-con-2025-1306​​​" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Eraserheads&#x27; &#x27;Combo on the Run&#x27; docu to screen at San Diego Comic-Con 2025</a></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><br/></div><div><strong><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YL7p6GCfdxc?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0EB69xdmyxk?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q83Ydl1lgiM?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span></strong><br/></div>
