The income trend of the movie is being compared in one of the highest grossing Philippine movies,  No Other Woman, a joint venture of Star Cinema and Viva Films, which grossed P15 million on its first day (compared to P18 million of Unofficially Yours).  The P100 million mark was reached by the former on its first 5 days. Will it surpass the P220 income set by No Other Woman or by another Viva-Star Cinema joint venture film, Praybeyt Benjamin, which earned P329 million total gross?

Unofficially Yours is still showing in cinemas nationwide.
