The conceptualization and production of the film took almost two years to finish and had multiple delays in theatrical release.[1] 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.[2][3][4]

After a year, on the second quarter of 2003, the filming started,[5] but despite earlier reports, the final and released Annie B. was entirely different from the 1979 film.[6]

The film varies away from the original 1979 film which cast an ensemble of Jolina Magdangal stars as Anne whose personal life collides with the advertising agency giant played by Dingdong Dantes when her sister played by Janice de belen comes homes with a baby she insists in a newspaper that the baby’s father is Fernandos leading a new twist when he needs her help for an advertising plan in this film we see Jolina playing a carefree young woman who by the struck of lock and originality wins the eye of the man she had a bad encounter with.

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.[7] 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.[8]

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.[9]
