Vietnamese film "The Bride of the Rich" - starring Thu Trang and Kieu Minh Tuan - surpassed many foreign films to dominate the box office rankings. Meanwhile, "Domino: The Last Exit" has not been able to escape the slump, cannot attract audiences and is at risk of being withdrawn from theaters early.
Last week, Vietnamese movies Domino: Last Exit was a huge box office failure, failing to make the top 10. Box Office Vietnam (independent box office monitor) . This week, The Rich Bride has regained its position for Vietnamese films.
As expected, the work quickly surpassed horror films. Thailand Tee Yod 2: Organ-eating Demon to top the weekend charts.
However, apart from the top 3, the remaining projects in the ranking all have low revenue, not exceeding 600 million VND.
Movie has Thu Trang head
The Bride of a Noble Family attracted attention because it gathered a star cast, including People's Artist Hong Van, Thu Trang, Kieu Minh Tuan, Le Giang, Uyển Ân... The work directed by Vu Ngoc Dang, marks his return after the success of Sister Sister 2, The Little Girl Looking for a Husband (2023).
According to statistics of Box Office Vietnam, The film grossed over VND26.9 billion at the weekend box office with over 294,222 tickets in 8,990 screenings. The film's revenue plus early screenings was over VND34 billion.
This achievement is not too impressive compared to the 48 billion VND of horror films. Bran or 40 billion of Ghost . However, this is still a sign that the film is well received by the audience.
The film revolves around a poor girl who wants to marry into a wealthy family, so she pretends to be rich and deceives her husband's family. Her family does not stop her, but instead helps and creates favorable conditions. But as the drama progresses, the characters continuously encounter unexpected situations that cause the plan to go awry.
Simple, memorable movie idea Parasite (2019) of Korean cinema. Most reviews say the work has many humorous moments, creating gentle laughter. But the script still has some limitations that make the story not really convincing.
The relationship between the two main characters is not deeply exploited, creating a forced, rushed feeling. build inconsistent psychology. unnatural dialogue, sometimes a bit dramatic
The acting of the female lead Uyen An is also controversial. She has not really shined and has to rely on her seniors in the film.
The manufacturer wants to extend the "universe" Sister sister to create a blockbuster brand for Vietnamese cinema. Therefore, the film's motif and atmosphere are somewhat similar to Vu Ngoc Dang's previous project.
Thai movies still attract audiences
Although not at the top of the list, horror movies Tee Yod 2: The Ghost Eater still stands out in second place with more than 19 billion VND, bringing total revenue to more than 73 billion, surpassing the first part released last year (54 billion VND).
The film’s success is largely due to the producer’s promotional strategy. Last week, the Thai cast, including actor Nadech Kugimiya, came to Ho Chi Minh City to participate in a cinetour (interacting with audiences directly at the cinema). That helped to increase the film’s coverage.
According to the publisher, Tee Yod 2 quickly became a hit, setting a record as the Thai film that reached the 10 billion VND mark the fastest of all time in Vietnam, after just one day. If it had not faced fierce competition from The bride of a wealthy family, It is very likely that the film will soon surpass the 100 billion mark.
With this achievement, it is likely that the producer will continue to make part three to continue expanding the story of exorcism and demon extermination.
The last two positions of the top 5 belong to Korean films. I bet you can't handcuff me and blockbuster Joker 2: Crazy in Pairs with little revenue.
Specifically, I bet you can't handcuff me reached 518 million VND in the last three days of the weekend, down 50%, Joker 2: Crazy in Pairs reached more than 300 million VND, down more than 70% compared to last week.
International box office performance of Joker 2 also not impressive, just over 165 million USD worldwide, second week revenue decreased 82% compared to opening week, becoming a heavy loss bomb this year. Variety It is estimated that the film needs to gross $450 million worldwide to break even because the production cost was up to $200 million, not including promotional costs.
There weren't many new projects released last week, so the movies that sold tickets were all previously released works like Grave of the Fireflies, Grandpa's Treasure Fubao, Cam, Transformer One…
The most regrettable is the movie Viet Domino: The Last Exit . During the three-day weekend, the film only sold 539 tickets out of 108 screenings, earning about 46 million VND. Up to now, the film's revenue has not exceeded 600 million VND, and it will likely have to close theaters early and suffer heavy losses.
This week, Hollywood blockbuster Venom 3: Final Fight will officially launch, becoming a strong competitor of The Bride of a Noble Family mixed Tee Yod: The Organ-Eater 2.
Both previous installments of the superhero franchise were not highly rated in terms of quality but were big hits at the international and Vietnamese box office. Therefore, it is likely that Venom 3 will also launch with explosive sales.
If Vietnamese film producers do not have a reasonable promotion strategy, they will likely be surpassed at the box office by Hollywood films.
