The remaining film is Billion Dollar Kiss from director and producer Thu Trang. Many people are asking: Is Tran Thanh "monopolizing" the Tet film market? Some viewers even suspect that Tran Thanh "used two films to suppress Thu Trang's project".
Thu Trang and Tran Thanh compete at the box office during this year's Tet movie season.
Answering these questions, Tran Thanh affirmed that he does not "dominate" or have a strategy to capture the Tet film market. According to Tran Thanh, from a business perspective - as an investor, he saw the potential and probability of success in Love by mistake for a close friend (directed by Diep The Vinh and Nguyen Quang Dung), so he decided to invest money. The fact that Love by mistake for a close friend is released on the occasion of Tet 2025 is the decision of the distributor, he did not intervene. The two films Bo Tu Bao Thu and Love by mistake for a close friend being released at the same time is a coincidence, not his personal decision. "When investing, I did not know when the film would be released, then because the distributor assessed that the film's color was suitable for the general audience, they decided to show it on Tet. I am only a small shareholder in the project and do not have the right to decide when the film will be shown," Tran Thanh explained.
Tran Thanh emphasized that it is normal for movies to compete with each other during Tet holiday season in the entertainment industry. "The Tet film market belongs to everyone. The box office is like a market, producers display their products for sale, and each movie is a product. If the movie is good and of good quality, the audience will accept it. Thu Trang also releases a movie, it will have its own market share and not every movie released at the same time will become a competitor that has to destroy each other. With a developing and potential film market like Vietnam, I hope there will be many good movies released at the same time to attract viewers to the theater," he said.
In fact, the release of two films co-produced by Tran Thanh at the same time of Tet can bring many benefits to the Vietnamese film market. Tet season is always the biggest market of the film industry in the year, when audiences have free time and the trend of seeking entertainment at the cinema increases. Two films with carefully invested quality will not only meet the entertainment needs of the audience, but also increase the competitiveness of the Vietnamese film market. The richness in the "menu" choices will attract more audiences to the cinema, thereby increasing the motivation for other filmmakers in the future.
Director Nguyen Quang Dung also said: "Instead of seeing films released at the same time as competitors, producers should look for ways to connect for the overall growth of the film industry. We should not see each other as competitors, each good film will help the audience have a better experience, and that helps the entire industry."
Actress and producer Thu Trang affirmed: "I think the film market is large, the more dishes the audience has, the easier it is to choose. The problem is not who wins, but how the Vietnamese film industry continues to grow and develop further." She also said she is not afraid to have a film released during Tet with Tran Thanh's work, because she is confident that her film has a different color.
It can be said that with the "debut" of prominent names, the 2025 Tet movie race has become more exciting than ever because theaters often focus on showing only 1-2 popular movies.
