On June 9th, "Hero ," the debut film of director Vo Thach Thao, officially concluded its box office run. According to statistics from Box Office Vietnam , the film grossed 46.7 billion VND after 6 weeks in theaters. This isn't a disastrous figure, but it's still not enough to prevent the film from incurring losses.
In its final days, Hero barely generated any significant revenue as the number of screenings dwindled and tickets sold dwindled. The final screening on June 9th even failed to sell any tickets.

The hero Thai Hoa fell into financial ruin. |
The fact that "Hero" suffered losses is somewhat regrettable, as the film was considered to be of fairly good quality and featured a cast of talented actors. In addition, the film had a strong media and distribution team, quickly gaining recognition and starting with the best screening numbers among projects released during the April 30th holiday.
However, the film quickly lost momentum as theater occupancy rates dropped, leading to a reduction in screenings. Ticket sales were also relatively sluggish. This was attributed to the film's slow-paced storytelling, which wasn't particularly appealing to a mass audience.
Among the Vietnamese films released during the April 30th holiday, two horror films, "Phi Phong" by director Do Quoc Trung and "Heo Nam Mong" ( Five-Toed Pig), are still showing in theaters. While "Phi Phong" had five screenings on June 9th, "Heo Nam Mong" only maintained a single screening per day at the BHD cinema system and is predicted to leave theaters in the next few days.
In the film "Hero ," Thai Hoa plays Hung, a taxi driver with two daughters: Han, who is in her teenage years, and My, who suffers from a terminal illness. Living as a single father, the character unexpectedly becomes embroiled in a multi-billion dollar charity fraud scandal, facing public backlash.

The film is disappointing because its quality was considered quite good. |
Overall, Hero is a well-made, professional film with many commendable aspects. Director Vo Thach Thao capitalizes on his strengths in exploring family conflicts, creating believability in a story that is inherently somewhat illogical. However, this overly cautious and meticulous approach makes Hero somewhat less appealing to a wider audience.
