The cinema proved to be a popular vacation spot over the four-day vacation weekend in Thailand with Love Destiny proving to be a box office smash.
The film, a spin-off from the 2018 TV sequence of the identical name, registered report takings at the box office for a Thai film in over two years, raking in almost US$5 million (about 178 million baht) between July 28-31.

No one knows whether or not the insults swapped between Cambodian and Thailand netizens triggered the box workplace to rock with Love Destiny but it was certainly the top flick over the holiday weekend.
Love Destiny wasn’t the one Thai movie making its screen debut, the monster-adventure film Leio roared into action over the weekend whereas the Marvel Studios sequence continued with Thor: Love And Thunder, which was in its third week.
Illusive -off, directed by Adisorn Tresirikasem, is a co-investment between Bangkok-based GDH 559 and Broadcast Thai Television.

Songpol Wongkondee, GDH 559’s director of gross sales and international enterprise, stated everybody concerned within the making of the film is delighted to see the movie doing so properly despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
