Christmas is arriving sooner than expected this year! The highly anticipated holiday action-comedy, “Red One,” starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, will now premiere in Philippine cinemas on November 6—a full week earlier than originally planned. This means Filipino fans will get to enjoy this star-studded film nine days before it hits U.S. theaters.
But that’s not all. Warner Bros. Pictures has a robust lineup to close out 2024, featuring a mix of Hollywood blockbusters and critically acclaimed Asian films that will delight local moviegoers.
