Originally intended for a limited release, the documentary film performed well over the weekend—thanks to online buzz
The people have spoken, and the demand is undeniable! Eraserheads: Combo On The Run is extending its theatrical run for another week, giving fans more chances to experience the documentary on the big screen.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Diane Ventura, the film has drawn rave reviews and enthusiastic word-of-mouth, fueling a strong performance at the box office over the weekend. Ventura expressed her deep gratitude to the band’s devoted fans for their unwavering support.
“The positive response and support have been overwhelming and humbling,” she shared. “I’m filled with so much gratitude. I hope more people get to see the film. I hope it does for them what it did for me. This is not just a music story; it’s our story. This is for all of us.”
Initially planned for a limited release, Eraserheads: Combo On The Run is a powerful, intimate look at how a once-disbanded group of misfits reunited to provide an entire nation with a much-needed reprieve—while unknowingly embarking on their own journey of healing. Featuring rare footage and never-before-seen interviews, the documentary dives deep into the band’s history, struggles, and ultimate triumphs.
Adding to the excitement, the Eraserheads themselves made a surprise live appearance at a sold-out screening in Quezon City over the weekend, treating lucky fans to electrifying performances of their timeless hits—including “Superproxy,” “Combo on the Run,” “Alapaap,” “Spoliarium,” “Pare Ko,” and “Magasin.” Frontman Ely Buendia also visited another cinema last Sunday to personally thank audiences for supporting the film.
Eraserheads: Combo On The Run is presented by DVent Pictures and WEU and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Check your local cinemas for screening schedules and ticket availability—this is one encore you won’t want to miss!
