For years, Hollywood and local movies took over the country’s big screens, providing blockbuster franchises that captured different markets around the Philippines. However, since then film has evolved, with the Asian genre experiencing a resurgence in the movie industry. Films from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China not only hold their own in the industry, but even outperform local and Hollywood pictures.

With good quality motion pictures and a different and unique source of content, Asian Films are creating a rapid rise in popularity and a growing want for Filipino fans to experience movie-watching of Asian films on a much bigger scale. Seeing the growing necessity of screening Asian films in movie houses, SM Lifestyle Entertainment, Inc. (SMLEI) and Viva International Pictures now bring you the most sought-after Asian films to your favourite SM Cinema theatres.
