Having just reached the 304 billion VND mark, with a revenue growth rate that can be said to be "super fast", the movie Red Rain will almost certainly surpass The Four Guardians (332 billion VND) to become the highest-grossing movie of 2025.

The best-selling movie of 2025, an unprecedented phenomenon

According to Box Office Vietnam, with explosive revenue on August 30 (the first day of the September 2 holiday), Red Rain became the only film - apart from director Tran Thanh's Tet films - to earn more than 40 billion VND in revenue in one day.

According to information provided by Box Office Vietnam to Tuoi Tre Online, in addition to high revenue, Red Rain also had a "super high" theater occupancy rate of 48.85%. In some crowded theaters, the film had many fully booked screenings.

What makes Red Rain 's box office achievement an "unprecedented phenomenon of the Vietnamese box office" is that the film achieved these "super fast" and "super high" numbers on a normal day, when it was shown early in theaters from August 21. It was not until August 30 that the film officially entered the holiday season.

Meanwhile, the occupancy rate of the movie Mai (Tran Thanh) is 51% but this movie opens on the occasion of Lunar New Year 2024.

Mai 's domestic revenue is about 551 billion VND, still the most popular film in Vietnam and waiting for other Vietnamese films. record-breaking. In the film industry, some people were waiting for Red Rain to do this.

Prospects for Northern Box Office

In 2025, the Vietnamese box office witnessed a film with higher revenue in the North than in the South, which was Soul Light (revenue of 105 billion VND). The film exploited many aspects of cultural life and spirituality in the North.

But with Red Rain , the prospect for the Northern box office became clearer than ever when the revenue ratio in the Northern market accounted for 50-60% of the total film revenue.

For a long time, the Hanoi and Northern markets have not been fully exploited by the Vietnamese film industry. Many Vietnamese films still have important markets in Ho Chi Minh City, the South, and the West. But with the big milestone of Red Rain, can the Northern market "rise" in the coming years?

If this is true, it will be a good sign for the entire Vietnamese film market. The most popular films today sell about 5-6 million tickets, which is still quite small compared to the country's population of over 100 million people.
