It was earlier reported that the romantic comedy raked in P20 million on its opening day.

The film, which is yet to be released internationally, follows the story of a simple city girl (Steph) and a small town boy (Tonio) who fall in love but get separated by ambition and the need to provide for family.  When they cross paths seven years later through a fateful assignment made by the girl’s sophisticated PR boss (Monica) for a new client, some complications arise: the client here is Tonio who is now Monica’s boyfriend.  Will this become an opportunity to rekindle an old flame or will it finally be closure for Steph after Tonio left her without saying goodbye?

"It’s complicated," laughed ABS-CBN Global Head of Theatricals and TV and film director John-D Lazatin. "These are not cardboard characters and it’s not a formulaic story.  The narrative is based on real life experiences and emotions."

He added, "When you watch the film, you see the characters’ journeys, their struggles, their dilemmas, and their choices that would impact their lives. You will truly feel for them, especially with Coco and Sarah displaying greater maturity and polish in their acting here.  Ruffa as Monica is a standout.  This is a must-see Filipino film this summer.”

"Maybe This Time" is directed by Jerry Lopez Sineneng and written by Anton Santamaria and Melai Monge. It also stars Ruffa Guttierez, Ogie Diaz, Dennis Padilla, Marlann Flores, Zeppi Borromeo, Garlic Garcia, Minnie Aguilar, Boboy Garovillo, and Sharmaine Buencamino.
