Based on the figure, The Mistress can be considered as a super box office hit, beating the record set by The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin which grossed P23.9 million on its first day. Praybeyt Benjamin which stars Vice Ganda is currently the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time.
The Mistress marks the 10th anniversary of John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo as a love team. Directed by Olivia Lamasan, it also stars veteran and award-winning actors Ronaldo Valdez and Hilda Koronel.
With a story and formula that of previous hits such as No Other Woman, The Mistress is also expected to break box office records. The question is that will it be able to topple Vice Ganda's success and eventually be hailed as the Philippines' highest-grossing movie?
