Vietnam’s cinemas reach record revenues in 2024

Vietnam's cinemas achieved in 2024 the highest ticket revenues in history, with about 185 million dollars, according to statistics of the specialized site Box Office Vietnam released here today.

This is the first time that the 10 biggest box office hits have collected more than four million U.S. dollars, and it is also unprecedented for a film (Mai) to exceed 31 million U.S. dollars, the website said.

Last year’s top-grossing films were Mai, Lat mat 7: Mot dieu uoc, Exhuma, Doraemon: Nobita’s Earth Symphony, and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

Referring to the success achieved in 2024 by domestic cinematography, Box Office Vietnam noted that ¨Vietnamese filmmakers have explored the theme of generational family conflict in depth.¨

Due to the preference for such stories among Vietnamese audiences, films that deviate from it did not perform as well at the box office, he noted.

Box Office also noted that for the first time in history, four animated films made it into the top 10 at the box office, and none of them were produced or distributed by Disney.
