On February 22nd, Beta Tran Quang Khai cinema – the venue for the first screening of "Peach, Pho and Piano" in Ho Chi Minh City – had 3 screenings (the earliest at 3 PM). However, tickets could only be purchased at the counter; online booking was not available.

According to observations by a Dan Tri reporter on the afternoon of February 22nd, many viewers lined up at this cinema to buy tickets to see the film "Peach, Pho and Piano," but had to switch to watching other films or leave because all screenings only had tickets left for seats close to the screen, which were not convenient for watching the film.

Additionally, a significant number of viewers agreed to buy tickets for the February 23rd screening and would return to see the film the following day.

Speaking to a reporter from Dan Tri newspaper, a staff member at the cinema said that initially, they announced two screenings at 3 PM and 4:20 PM, but due to the high demand for tickets, they added an extra screening at 11:35 PM. However, by 2:30 PM, most screenings were already sold out.

Similarly, tickets for the film "Peach, Pho and Piano" at Cinestar cinemas also attracted a large audience. Staff at Cinestar Quoc Thanh cinema shared with Dan Tri newspaper that on February 22nd, the cinema had four screenings (the earliest at 6:10 PM), but all tickets were sold out.

The theater staff also added that they had announced the screening schedule for February 23rd, but due to the overwhelming number of viewers accessing the ticket booking website, the website experienced technical difficulties and is currently being fixed.

At Cinestar Hai Bà Trưng cinema, tickets for the two screenings of the film "Peach, Pho and Piano" on February 22nd are also almost sold out.

Speaking to a reporter from Dan Tri newspaper , audience member The Nhat (a student) said that ever since the film "Peach, Pho and Piano" was shown in Hanoi, he had been very curious about the content and wanted to see the film.

"When I found out the movie was showing in Ho Chi Minh City, I was very excited. However, up until now, my friends and I haven't been able to book tickets because we're busy with school and can't go to the cinema to buy tickets, and the online ticket booking website is currently experiencing errors," Thế Nhật said.

"Peach, Pho, and Piano" is a state-funded film included in the pilot release and distribution plan for several films produced using state budget funds, issued by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The National Film Center is the first venue in the country to screen this film.

According to data from Box Office Vietnam - an independent statistical unit, as of February 21st, Dao, Pho, and Piano recorded a revenue of 1 billion VND.
