When Vietnamese 18+ movies fail

Vietnamese cinemas last week witnessed the arrival of a series of works with diverse genres. However, the surprising thing is that Death Battle in the Air Still successfully defended the box office throne against new competitors.

According to statistics from Box Office Vietnam, last weekend, Death Battle in the Air pocket 24 billion VND , selling about 250,000 tickets. At the end of the third week of screening, the film produced by People's Police Cinema earned a total of 212 billion VND . However, the work has also lost its popularity, and is expected to have difficulty reaching the 250 billion VND revenue threshold before ending its journey in theaters.

Newly released Vietnamese movies are I lift you up when you fall temporarily ranked in the top 2 at the box office. On the opening weekend, Vu Thanh Vinh's brainchild brought in more than 6 billion VND over 3,600 screenings. On average, each screening sells about 18 tickets.

Sister Fall, I Lift You Up opened at number 2 at the box office.

I lift you up when you fall belongs to the psychological and family genre, gathering the cast including Thuan Nguyen, Le Khanh, Quoc Truong, Uyen An... The work has a close, accessible story, although there are some limitations, it still creates sympathy thanks to the warm, sincere messages. Besides that, the cast's acting is well-rounded.

Stick to the achievements of You fall I lift you up, Vietnamese-Korean cooperation film His hand holds a star debuted at number 3. The film opened with over 5 billion VND . Gathering a cast including star Lee Kwang Soo, Hoang Ha, Duy Khanh, the work is considered youthful and adorable with a healing story.

The number of screenings of the film is currently almost equal to its competitors. In the coming days, the duo You fall, I lift you up - My hand holds a star expected to be neck and neck in terms of box office performance. The outcome of the two films' battle remains unpredictable.

Notably, two Vietnamese 18+ films are Hill of Torture and Strawberry Sale Contract left the theater at the same time. Hill of Torture by director Luong Dinh Dung 2.1 billion VND after about 10 days of projection. While Strawberry Sale Contract by Le Van Kiet 17 billion VND after 1 month in theaters. These are all modest achievements compared to the average Vietnamese film.

Previously, Ghost Bride also had to leave the theater early with sales 11.5 billion VND . At the bottom of the lake ended its box office journey with a record of 27 billion. Recently, domestic horror films have struggled to find a foothold. If a year ago, horror was a sought-after topic with a series of works easily reaching the hundred billion mark, then at present, this topic no longer has much appeal to the audience. Most recently, only Ut Lan achieved good results with 90 billion VND .

Vietnamese cinema is witnessing the decline of horror films.

This week, Vietnamese cinemas welcome the appearance of a series of new international films. Among them, two names stand out. Illusion Game: Ares and Organ Eater 3. Illusion Game: Ares is an action blockbuster with a large production budget, very spectacular visuals and special effects. However, Hollywood action movies in recent years are no longer enthusiastically welcomed by Vietnamese audiences.

While, Ghost Eater 3 It may be at a disadvantage to be released at a time when horror films are on the decline at the Vietnamese box office. However, thanks to its brand appeal and good promotional campaign, the work from the land of the golden pagodas will likely usurp the throne of Deathmatch in the air. Previously, the revenue of the 2 prequels Organ-eating demon in Vietnam respectively 55 billion VND and 100 billion VND .
