What happens

Isang Himala (lit. 'A miracle') is a 2024 Philippine musical drama film co-produced and directed by Pepe Diokno from a script he co-wrote with Ricky Lee. It is based on a 2018 theatrical play of the same name, itself an adaptation of the 1982 film Himala. With a large number of the cast originating from theatre, Aicelle Santos and Bituin Escalante reprised their roles from the musical, and the special appearance of Nora Aunor, who played Elsa in the aforementioned film. Produced by Kapitol Films and UXS, with Creazion Studios handling the distribution, the film was theatrically released on December 25, 2024, as part of the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival. However, it was underperformed at the box office, failing to enter the Top 3 in the top-performing MMFF entries in box-office sales. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
