our days after its nationwide premiere, Ada Apa Dengan Cinta 2 (What’s Up with Cinta 2/AADC2) passed the one million viewers mark and became one of the most successful productions of Miles Films.
Producer Mira Lesmana thanked fans via her Twitter account on Monday, “Once more, thank you Indonesian moviegoers for the reunion with #AADC2 and for the appreciation.”
AADC2 features Dian Sastrowardoyo and Nicholas Saputra, who also starred in the previous movie as Cinta and Rangga. The pair’s onscreen unresolved love story was initially left open-ended back in 2002, and ten years later the idea of a sequel appeared when the cast gathered for the movie’s 10th anniversary.
In a previous interview with thejakartapost.com, Mira said the cast’s undeniable chemistry was what inspired her to make a sequel.
“That anniversary event was the time we saw them [the cast] together again and there was still great chemistry. At the same time, I also saw interesting personal development in them. Seeing them together, looking at the chemistry, seeing mature Cinta and the gang, mature Rangga, was when the idea came up,” she said.
To date, Miles Films has garnered significant success from its iconic past movies such as 2000's Petualangan Sherina (Sherina Adventures) with 1 million viewers, 2002's Ada Apa Dengan Cinta with 2 million viewers, 2008's Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Troops) with 4.6 million viewers and 2009's Sang Pemimpi (The Dreamer) with 2.5 million viewers.
