Release
Ang Pangarap Kong Holdap premiered in the Philippines on November 28, 2018. The film had dismal reception during its theatrical release.[2] It was given a R-16 rating by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board[3] and there was difficulty in securing slots in local cinemas limiting the film's reach. According to Paolo Contis, one of the film's lead actors, cinema owners were hesitant of screening Ang Pangrap Kong Holdap due to a perception that the film title has a "bad connotation".[4] According to director Marius Talampas, the film was only shown on mainstream cinemas for less than a week and was only screened in microcinemas thereafter where the film gradually garnered a cult following.[5]
The film was released in Netflix on July 2, 2020[6] where it had more success.[2] Ang Pangarap Kong Holdap became the number one most viewed film in the Philippines within 24 hours of its premiere in the digital platform[2] and is still within the top ten most viewed film three days later.[7]
