'The Prince of Bac Lieu' is running out of steam in terms of revenue.

The Vietnamese box office is showing a clear decline as "The Prince of Bac Lieu " falters in its second week of release. Meanwhile, the new films are failing to attract much audience interest.

Launched on December 6th, Prince of Bac Lieu They had a smooth debut with no strong opponents standing in their way. Lynx or many international films such as Moana 2, Laughter Across Borders All other releases have cooled down significantly, paving the way for Ly Minh Thang's brainchild to dominate the box office with an overwhelming number of screenings. At the end of its opening week, Prince of Bac Lieu earn more 17 billion VND .

In its second week of release, the film faced difficulties as six new international films competed against it. Having to share a significant portion of the box office market, its earning potential slowed down. Prince of Bac Lieu Consequently, the price dropped sharply.

According to statistics from the independent organization Box Office Vietnam, Prince of Bac Lieu It remains the top-grossing film in the domestic box office this past week.

Over the weekend, the film features Song Luan and Kaity Nguyen. 6.3 billion VND (down more than 60% from the opening week). The film sold approximately 70,000 tickets across 4,400 screenings. On average, about 15 tickets were sold per screening.

The box office performance of Prince of Bac Lieu It was somewhat disappointing. Before its release, the film received attention for exploring the story of a once-famous figure. Coupled with a favorable release time, Prince of Bac Lieu It is expected by observers to heat up Vietnamese cinemas in early December.

Song Luan showed his effort in playing the role of the Prince of Bac Lieu.

However, in reality, the film has not been able to stir up the box office as expected. At its current rate of earning, the possibility of the film reaching the 100 billion VND mark is unlikely. Even reaching 50 billion VND in revenue will face considerable difficulties, as a series of new films are hitting theaters this week.

Over the three-day weekend, the Disney animated film sold 45,000 tickets across approximately 2,400 screenings. To date, the film's total revenue after three weeks in theaters is approximately... 27 billion VND .

Partly because in Vietnam, Moana It's not yet a well-known brand, and it has to compete for screening slots with two other Vietnamese films. However, in the international market, this animated project with its budget... $150 million This one is currently "making waves" in cinemas, raking in nearly [amount] in the pocket. $617 million globally.

"Sister-in-law" and "The Lion King" cool down at the box office?

Kraven earned more 4.1 billion VND It premiered this weekend. The film, part of Sony's superhero universe, sparked controversy after its release, particularly regarding its script and special effects. However, in reality, Kraven It remains a highly entertaining film with plenty of visually stunning action scenes, and a quality cast featuring actors like Russell Crowe and Aaron Taylor-Johnson...

While, Lord This is a horror film from the South Korean market. The plot is not original, and many details feel forced. However, the production design and the solid performances of the cast are appealing. At the end of its opening week in the Vietnamese market, Lord pocket 2.8 billion VND .

The lynx is disappointing that it couldn't join the "100 billion VND Vietnamese film club" as expected.

Lynx In its fourth week in theaters, the film's popularity has significantly decreased. The film, directed by Liu Chenglun, has added another year to its box office. 2.3 billion VND , bringing the total revenue to 85 billion VND.

After Moana 2 , potential Mufasa: The Lion King The box office success in the Vietnamese market is no longer as high as it once was. However, thanks to the brand's appeal and its release during the Christmas season, the film's box office performance remains an unknown quantity.

While Vietnamese films Sister-in-law It once again attracted attention by bringing together a cast with familiar faces such as Hong Dao, Viet Huong, and Ngoc Trinh... The result of the duel between Sister-in-law and Mufasa: The Lion King It's still hard to say for sure. However, the appearance of this duo is a "savior" for the currently sluggish Vietnamese box office.
