People did "care" to see Caregiver as it grossed a total of Php 15 million on its first day alone. The movie is expected to earn more this weekend as it continues to be screened nationwide, with plans to expand screenings from an initial 100 cinemas to 130 to 150 cinemas.
Showbiz observers had predicted Caregiver’s strong box office showing when crowds flocked to the red-carpet premiere last May 27 and packed into the two cinemas allotted for the event. Initial reviews also praised the film’s moving story and lead actress Sharon Cuneta who was deemed a shoo-in for Best Actress awards. Direk Chito Roño, Sharon, and the whole cast also took pride in the "A" rating given by the Cinema Evaluation Board.
Star Cinema’s 15th anniversary offering is set to conquer the world with special screenings abroad, becoming the first Filipino film to premiere in four continents. Sharon flew to the US Thursday to attend the Los Angeles premiere on May 31st at the Alex Theater. The Megastar will also grace the following premieres: June 1 – Hawaii Theater in Honolulu, Hawaii; June 6 – Prince Charles Theater in London, England; June 7 - Andromeda Theater in Rome, Italy.
There will also be international screenings across the US in Seattle, Las Vegas, San Diego, and San Francisco. Caregiver will also be screened in Guam, Japan, Qatar, Bahrain, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharja. On top of it all, Caregiver makes history by being the first Filipino movie to open the prestigious Paris Cinema Festival.
