A series of blockbuster movies in theaters

On the occasion of Tet At Ty, a series of domestic and foreign blockbusters were released to audiences in theaters nationwide.

Vietnamese movies promise to explode in box office revenue this Tet holiday.

According to screenwriter Chau Quang Phuoc, the Tet film market this year is quite exciting. Among them, the participation of the trio of hundred billion directors: Tran Thanh, Quang Dung - Diep The Vinh and Thu Trang promises to bring explosive revenue.

This year, Tran Thanh debuted in Vietnamese theaters on the first day of Tet (January 29) with two films "The Four Guardians" (as director and producer) and "Love by mistake for a close friend" (as producer).

Unlike previous blockbusters such as "Mai", "Nha Ba Nu"..., "The Four Guardians" exploits a touching family love story and a complicated love story. This time, Tran Thanh said he changed direction with a comedy to "welcome the new year with lots of hearty laughter".

The film stars Le Giang, Tran Thanh, Le Duong Bao Lam, Uyen An, Miss Ky Duyen, Tieu Vy, Quoc Anh.

Meanwhile, "Love by mistake with best friend" directed by Nguyen Quang Dung and Diep The Vinh, brings together a popular cast such as Kaity Nguyen, Thanh Son, Tran Ngoc Vang...

The Tet movie race also features Thu Trang as producer and director of the movie "Billionaire Kiss", released on the first day of Tet. The movie stars Miss Thien An and young actors Le Xuan Tien and Ma Ran Do.

According to film expert Nguyen Phong Viet, this year Tran Thanh no longer monopolizes the box office revenue like every year, the market share is divided equally between the remaining two films. All three films have a high potential to exceed 100 billion VND in revenue. Last year, the total box office revenue during the 7 days of Tet exceeded 350 billion VND, of which Tran Thanh's film "Mai" earned more than 300 billion VND.

Also released on the first day of Tet is the American film "Paddington: The Adventures of the Bear". In addition, young audiences can also watch the animated film "The Thousand Pound Heist". The film tells the story of a pig named Hitpig who specializes in catching runaway animals and bringing them back to their owners...
