Box office

According to Viva Films, A Secret Affair, which some may have thought a sequel to last year's mega blockbuster film No Other Woman produced by Star Cinema and Viva Films, earned a whopping PHP 20 Million pesos in box-office on its first day of showing on October 24 - a PHP 5 Million pesos higher than the first day earnings of Anne, Derek and Cristine Reyes' movie. [12] [13] On the first four days in cinemas (last October 24–28, 2012), the film earned a total of PHP 55,932,553. [14] On its first six days in cinemas, the film already garnered a total of PHP 100 million, [15] but in contrary to the report, Box Office Mojo confirms that the film only got PHP 95,174,565 on its first week and including the days of the second week run. [16] As of its 4th and final week of showing, the film earned PHP 118,424,018; a sure box office hit but quite low compared to other movies of its genre like In the Name of Love , No Other Woman , The Mistress and One More Try . [17] The film is now ranked as 5th highest grossing Filipino films of 2012 and 17th placed in the all-time highest-grossing local films in the Philippines.
