After 2 years, Philippine cinemas have finally reopened late this year, letting movie lovers catch up on all the blockbusters they missed in the recent months. Even though the current cinema experience isn’t what it used to be — with cinema snacks still not allowed and cinemagoers sitting one seat apart — there’s still no stopping a lot of us from seeing some of the most highly-anticipated titles on the big screen.
Below, we’re listing down some of the films that we are excited to see in cinemas this 2022. Check them out below:
