'Red Rain' becomes the highest-grossing Vietnamese film at the box office

After 17 days of release, "Red Rain" has surpassed the record of "Mai"

The film set a new revenue milestone after 17 days of release. Red Rain surpassed the record of Mai - an 18+ film directed by Tran Thanh, released on Tet 2024. Compared to the film directed by Dang Thai Huyen, Mai sold tickets more slowly, taking 40 days to reach the finish line with 551 billion VND.

The film continued to earn more than 20 billion VND on September 7, topping the daily revenue update chart of Box Office Vietnam. The number of screenings of the film decreased slightly, from more than 5,000 to 4,500 nationwide, due to the recent release of Ghost Bride - a horror film co-produced by Vietnam and Thailand.

Mr. Nguyen Hoang Hai - content director of CGV Vietnam - said that the work accounts for more than 11% of the number of tickets sold since the beginning of the year in the cinema market, and is expected to soon reach the milestone of seven million viewers.

Director Dang Thai Huyen said the film's success was an unexpected joy for her. "What's more important is that the audience loves the film, showing that the crew's efforts are recognized," she said.

Over the past few days, the crew has organized cine-tours in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, which have received enthusiastic responses. On September 4, the production unit - the People's Army Cinema Company (General Department of Politics of the Vietnam People's Army) - organized a film screening in Quang Tri Citadel, inviting veterans, martyrs' relatives and local people, attracting more than 5,000 spectators.

The work has quality content and images, evoking emotions. The script follows the events of 81 days and nights of fighting to protect the ancient citadel. Writer Chu Lai chose to focus on people, specifically a platoon, with soldiers from three regions.

The film was invested in meticulously from the pre-production stage, with a grand setting and many large battle scenes. The producer did not disclose the investment amount, but many people estimated that the film cost hundreds of billions of VND. The crew built a 50-hectare studio on the banks of the Thach Han River. During filming, the crew used modern machinery and lighting systems. In many scenes, the director of photography used up to seven cameras.

The central character is Cuong (played by Do Nhat Hoang) - a student of the Conservatory of Music, generous and good at martial arts. He gave up the opportunity to study abroad to join the army. During the fighting days in Quang Tri, Cuong fought side by side with the squad, including Ta - the team leader, Binh, Tu, Hai, Sen. They came from different hometowns, different backgrounds and personalities but shared the same goal of fighting for peace .
