The project is a comedy-horror genre, directed by Bui Van Hai, gathering a famous cast including Tien Luat, Ngo Kien Huy, People's Artist Hong Van... The script continues to exploit the profession of collecting corpses and driving an ambulance but with a humorous perspective, bringing refreshing laughter to viewers after a series of previous scary, heavy horror films.

Unfortunately, Ngo Kien Huy and Tien Luat’s film has not created a very good effect. The film is also not highly rated for its content and storytelling. The presence of famous actors is the only factor that attracts audiences, but it is not enough to save the quality.

Coming in second place, Tunnels: Sun in the Dark weekend revenue was not impressive, just over 11.4 billion VND.

Project directed by Bui Thac Chuyen, Thai Hoa starring, aiming at the 50th anniversary of national reunification, about the guerrillas at Binh An Dong base (Cu Chi).

The film has now grossed over 150 billion VND, setting a record. war movie Vietnam has the highest revenue in the history of domestic cinema. This is also an impressive achievement for a film that does not use the state budget, and chooses a historical theme that is quite selective for the audience.

At the current rate, it is likely that The Tunnel will leave theaters with a revenue of about 160-170 billion VND, the chance of reaching 200 billion VND is not high.

Tunnel's revenue has exceeded 150 billion VND.

Coming in third place is a Thai comedy-horror film. Marry a Ghost to Get Rid of Bad Luck . This is a remake of a Taiwanese movie. The story of me and the devil becoming one starring Hua Quang Han, which caused a fever at the Vietnamese box office in 2023.

The project is directed by Chayanop Boonprakob – the director behind many famous works such as SuckSeed or Friend Zone. The Thai version retains the spirit of the original but also adds many local cultural features to create its own appeal.

Released in Vietnamese theaters, the project was quickly accepted by audiences despite the lack of publicity. The film did not create a strong effect but it slowed down the pace of other competitors.

Gloomy theater

The last two positions in the top 5 of Box Office Vietnam To be A Minecraft Movie (2.1 billion) and Korean movies Bribery (460 million VND).

Blockbuster A Minecraft Movie continued to fall to fourth place, raising total revenue at Vietnamese theaters to over 21 billion VND. The work is adapted from the game of the same name, among the best-selling films of all time with over 300 million copies sold.

The project was invested with a high budget (over 300 million USD), gathering a star cast including Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers... promising to create a big bang at the box office. However, the initial reaction from critics was not good, causing expectations to somewhat decrease.

A Minecraft Movie still holds steady in the top 5.

Bribery is a comedy, starring Ha Jung Woo. The film is about a CEO of a technology company who was betrayed by his old friend and tried every trick to save the company. However, the project did not receive much attention because it clashed with many Vietnamese films when it was released in theaters, and the distributor did not promote it much.

Projects outside the top 5 all had low revenue, not exceeding 500 million VND, showing that cinemas continue to fall into a gloomy state. Many newly released foreign films are also sluggish. Action movies Amateur , Secret agent construction worker good horror movie The Devil Mother and Ghost Child … both went unnoticed at Vietnamese theaters.

This week, two other "giants" of Vietnamese cinema, Ly Hai and Victor Vu, will have films released in theaters, starting a fierce battle at the theaters on the occasion of the April 30 holiday.

Ly Hai extends the brand Flip side with the eighth part titled The Sun's Arms . The film is expected to promote a close, easy-to-watch style, while touching the emotions of the mass audience - a characteristic that makes the whole series successful.

Meanwhile, Victor Vu continues to try his hand at Detective Kien: The Headless Case - prequel to The Last Wife (2023). The film focuses on the personal story of detective Kien - an intelligent, decisive person with excellent crime-solving skills.

Both have adopted an early screening strategy to attract audiences, promising to revive the box office. It is still unknown which film will win. But it is likely that the film starring Tien Luat and Ngo Kien Huy will be overshadowed by two very strong competitors.
