Nghỉ Hè Sợ Nghỉ Hưu tops Vietnamese box office pre-sales

The Vietnamese film 'Nghỉ Hè Sợ Nghỉ Hưu', a new project by Huỳnh Lập, has reached the top of the box office rankings through pre-sales before its official early screenings began on August 14, 2026. The film, which blends drama, supernatural elements, and comedy, focuses on a Gen Z protagonist's journey to convince his grandfather to support his entrepreneurial ambitions.

At the film's press conference in Ho Chi Minh City, singer Phương Mỹ Chi drew significant attention. Her appearance marked her first public outing following the release of her music video 'Thiên Đường Với Người Thương'. Observers noted her more mature and feminine aesthetic, contrasting with her previous image as a folk music child star.
