MANILA – The managing director of Star Cinema is hoping that the “collection and computation issues” of the ABS-CBN’s movie outfit with SM theaters will be resolved soon.
According to Malou Santos, the Star Cinema management wants to reach a win-win situation with SM malls.
“Ang nais lang naman ng Star Cinema ay maayos na komputasyon, pantay na hatian, at maayos na partnership. Sa madaling sabi---hating kapatid,” Santos said in a statement.
She added: “Umaasa kami na maaayos ang sitwasyong ito sa lalong madaling panahon. Aming nilalayon ang isang win-win situation na magbibigay ng karampatang benipisyo sa Star Cinema at sa aming mga partners tulad ng SM.”
The dispute between Star Cinema and SM managements reportedly led to the non-screening of “And I Love You So” in all SM theaters.
Reports said the row stemmed from Star Cinema’s decision to hold the premiere of the movie at Trinoma. Both parties, however, denied the reports.
Directed by Laurenti Dyogi, Bea Alonzo, Sam Milby and Derek Ramsay are the lead stars of "And I Love You So."
