ABS-CBN Films announced today that its latest family drama, “Meet, Greet & Bye,” has surpassed P120 million worldwide, reflecting a powerful early showing driven by its strong Philippine debut and rapidly accelerating international rollout.

Following its Philippine opening on November 12, 2025 the film expanded globally with a multi-territory release. International screenings began on November 13 in Australia, New Zealand, and several countries in the Middle East, followed by its November 14 debut in the United States, Canada, and Guam. Over the weekend, the film continued its global expansion with openings in the UK, Ireland, Austria, Italy, and France.

“Meet, Greet & Bye” continues its international rollout this week, with upcoming openings in Papua New Guinea (November 20), Greece (November 22), and Spain (November 23).

Starring Piolo Pascual, Joshua Garcia, Belle Mariano, Juan Karlos, and Maricel Soriano, and directed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana—the acclaimed filmmaker behind the Philippines’ highest-grossing local film of all time, “Hello, Love, Again”—the movie follows four siblings determined to fulfill their mother’s dying wish to meet her favorite Korean idol, Park Seo-Joon.

#FIRSTLOOK: TRAILER FOR “MEET, GREET & BYE”

About Meet, Greet & Bye

Meet, Greet & Bye is a heartfelt, funny, and deeply moving story about love, family, and the lengths we’ll go to for the people who matter most.

When Baby, a mother of four, survives cancer, she credits her favourite Korean dramas — and her beloved K-drama idol — for helping her heal. But when her cancer returns, Baby decides to skip treatment and simply live her remaining days in joy. Her only wish? To meet the actor who once gave her hope.

Her grown children — each dealing with their own lives, disappointments, and distances — come together on one condition: if they can help her meet her idol, she’ll agree to start chemotherapy again. What begins as a near-impossible mission turns into something far more meaningful: a rediscovery of family, forgiveness, and what it really means to show up for one another.

At its heart, Meet, Greet & Bye is about the power of love — not the kind we chase, but the kind that holds us together when everything else falls apart.
