TBA Studios’ upcoming film “Dito at Doon” will proceed with its scheduled online release this coming March 31, 2021, while its theatrical release is currently on hold. The JC Santos - Janine Gutierrez romance movie was supposed to arrive in theaters nationwide on March 17.
The change comes after careful decisions among the film’s producers with everyone’s health and safety as their utmost priority.
“We have decided to release ‘Dito at Doon’ exclusively online for the time being. This was a very difficult decision for the whole team, but one that has everyone’s best interest in mind,” said E. A. Rocha, TBA Studios’ CEO.

Directed by JP Habac of "I'm Drunk, I Love You." fame, "Dito at Doon" also features host and stand-up comedian Victor Anastacio and theater actress Yesh Burce, with the special participation of Janine's mom Lotlot de Leon.
