Running Man Vietnam 2026" kicked off the new season in a different way by bringing the special episode "Lord of Time" to theaters before television broadcast. Just after the first day of early screening on July 11, the film version of the program achieved a total revenue of more than 4.16 billion VND (as of the morning of July 12), becoming one of the most outstanding revenue-generating works at the weekend box office.
Besides positive revenue, "Lord of Time" also entered the Top 3 box office revenue on its opening day, and also topped revenue on the CGV system. Early screenings quickly sold out tickets, showing the appeal of the "Running Man Vietnam" brand and the familiar cast.
Previously, on the evening of July 11, the program continued to organize a watch party with the participation of Lien Binh Phat, Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc, Quang Trung, Quang Tuan, Anh Tu Atus, Quan A.P, Captain Boy and storyteller Le Nhan. Two guests Kha Nhu and Vo Dien Gia Huy also participated in giao lưu with the audience after the screening.
Tran Thanh did not attend this meeting due to his personal schedule.
The atmosphere at many cinema complexes was lively when a large number of fans were present early to meet the artists.
Lien Binh Phat made people laugh when humorously revealing the program's recording schedule, accepting to "eat the minutes" because he accidentally revealed some information. Meanwhile, Quan A.P said that he was both nervous and excited when he first enjoyed the finished product with the audience after the recording process.
With a duration of 125 minutes, "Lord of Time" is built in an adventure - fantasy style. The members transform into Divine Animals entering the battle to win the title of Lord of Time, having to overcome a series of challenges to restore superpowers before entering the familiar name tag tearing scene.
Besides Tran Thanh continuing to maintain fierce competition form, Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc, Lien Binh Phat, Anh Tu Atus, Quang Trung, Captain Boy and Quan A.P all had many outstanding moments, creating a balance between humor, competition and team spirit.
