Vietnamese Cinema Smashes Records with Tử Chiến Trên Không's VND100 Billion Debut
Tử Chiến Trên Không, directed by Hàm Trần, has shattered records by surpassing VNĐ100 billion in just five days, leading the box office in its debut week. This action-packed film, Vietnam's first about hijacking, is driving a wave of high-grossing movies that are redefining local cinema.
The film's remarkable performance follows a string of successes. Six films have surpassed the VNĐ100 billion mark in the first nine months of 2025, showcasing a diverse range of genres. Mưa Đỏ, directed by Đặng Thái Huyền, stands out as the highest-grossing Vietnamese film ever, depicting the historic 81-day battle at Quảng Trị Citadel in 1972.
This surge in box office hits signals a maturing industry and growing audience trust. It also reflects a shift in investment trends, with historical, political, and war films receiving increased backing. This supports filmmakers' creative potential and offers audiences more choices. To sustain this momentum, industry professionals emphasize the importance of script quality, creativity, balanced screening schedules, and diverse themes.
Tử Chiến Trên Không's success, along with other recent blockbusters, marks a new phase for Vietnamese cinema. These films not only entertain but also establish the Vietnamese film brand in the regional market. As the industry continues to grow, long-term investment in human resources will be crucial for its ongoing success.
