'Annie B. (Bida Ng Ukay-ukay, Bongga siya 'day!)' is a 2004 musical and romantic-comedy film released by Viva Films directed by Louie Ignacio. It stars Jolina Magdangal with Dingdong Dantes, Jordan Herrera, Gloria Romero, Amy Austria, and Sarah Geronimo.

The conceptualization and production of the film took almost two years to finish and had multiple delays in theatrical release. In earlier reports (first quarter of 2002), it was reported that Magdangal will co-star with Nora Aunor in a sequel of the 1979 Nora Aunor-starrer 'Annie Batungbakal' to be entitled 'Anak ni Annie Batungbakal'.

After a year, on the second quarter of 2003, the filming started, but despite earlier reports, the final and released 'Annie B.' was entirely different from the 1979 film.

Reception



The film received negative reviews from critics and was commercially unsuccessful. According to Ed de Leon of the 'Philippine Star', the main reason behind the film's commercial failure was the lack of publicity and promotional strategy, saying that the release of the film was as seem kept secret to moviegoers. In another article released a few months earlier, he said that the film's title was also a disadvantage leading to the audience proving that the film was just a re-issue of an earlier released film.

While in an article from the 'Pilipino Star Ngayon', it was said that the length of the filming and the multiple delays on its theatrical release were the factors that led to its poor box office performance.
