According to the distributor, director Bui Thac Chuyen's war blockbuster reached 60,000 pre-sold tickets before the film's official release, something that has never happened before with historical films.

It was scheduled to be released in theaters on April 4, but because it fell on two days of national mourning, causing theaters to close, The Tunnels was not officially released to the public until April 6.

According to statistics from the Box Office Vietnam system , as of 2:00 p.m. on April 6, The Tunnels has reached the 50 billion mark (including early screenings on April 2 and 3 as well as pre-booked tickets).

Positive feedback from viewers and experts from the first screenings, combined with good word of mouth, and the film premiering during the holiday season, has led to theaters opening at full capacity to increase screenings for The Tunnel. Today alone, April 6, the film had more than 5,000 screenings, an unprecedented feat for this genre of film.

Similar to the craze for Dao, Pho and Piano, many viewers shared that they went to the app to book tickets to see The Tunnels but found that most of the screenings were full, viewers need to be quick when booking tickets online to hope to get a good seat.

Due to its release during the Hung Kings' Commemoration Day holiday, The Tunnels will certainly set a series of box office records in the coming days and is expected to create a fever in theaters this April, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the country's reunification.
