In early 2025, the movie "Sister-in-law" won in terms of revenue.
In addition to creating a good word-of-mouth effect on social networks, the movie was also praised for its story and the realistic acting of Hong Dao, Viet Huong, Le Khanh, Dinh Y Nhung, Ngoc Trinh...The project opened the new year 2025 with more than 112 billion VND, showing a good start for the Vietnamese box office.
However, the most notable thing at the beginning of 2025 is the Tet movie season.
Currently, there are 4 projects confirmed to be shown during Tet, including "The Four Guardians" by director Tran Thanh, "The Billionaire Kiss" by Thu Trang, "Love by Mistake" by Diep The Vinh - Nguyen Quang Dung, "Den Am Hon" by director Hoang Nam.The Vietnamese film market is even more exciting with many other films that will be released in the following months of 2025 such as: "House of Ancestors" by director Huynh Lap (shown on February 21); "Closing the deal" by director Bao Nhan - Namcito (released on March 7); "The Yin and Yang Road" by director Hoang Tuan Cuong (released on March 28); "Flip Side 8: The Sun's Bracelet" by director Ly Hai (released on April 30); "Tunnel: The Sun in the Dark" by director Bui Thac Chuyen (April 30); "Detective Kien: The Headless Case" by Victor Vu (May 16)...The 4 Tet films are highly anticipated, because this is the golden time for Vietnamese films to increase their revenue.
Box office guarantors such as Tran Thanh, Thu Trang, Nguyen Quang Dung all gather in the 2025 Tet film season.They are all directors who have had film projects that have earned hundreds of billions in revenue.It is not difficult to predict that this year's Tet film race will be very exciting, with fierce competition among filmmakers.
Considering Tran Thanh and Thu Trang's two films alone, they have many great advantages.
Tran Thanh's "The Four Guardians" has just reached 45,000 pre-booked tickets. The film has surpassed the achievement of "Mai" - a 2024 Tet film project of Tran Thanh.
So, it's not hard to predict that Tran Thanh will continue to win big in 2025.
Following is Thu Trang's "Billion Dollar Kiss".The female director's project is also having a good number of pre-booked tickets.Many experts predict that Thu Trang and Tran Thanh's two films will likely reach hundreds of billions this Tet film season.
However, to win over audiences and facilitate revenue, filmmaking trends in 2025 must focus on in-depth scripts, finding humane stories, closely related to real life, analyzing characters' psychology more deeply; increasing investment in technology, visual effects and diversifying film genres, although Vietnamese audiences still prefer films that are close to psychology and emotions...
Vietnamese cinema in 2025 needs quality works, in addition to knowing how to grasp audience tastes and constantly innovating in scripts and content.
