Vietnamese cinema industry development

Overview

The Vietnamese film industry experienced significant box office growth in 2026, driven by high-performing titles such as ‘Trại buôn người’, ‘Hẹn em ngày nhật thực’, and ‘Thỏ ơi!!’. These successes have highlighted the evolving roles of beauty queens in cinema and the career resurgence of actors like Tùng Mint, though the latter’s production was marred by a severe accident where he was struck by a pickup truck.

Building on this momentum, the industry is expanding its focus toward historical action genres for upcoming Lunar New Year (Tet) seasons. Major upcoming projects include the wuxia-style film ‘Loạn thế: Nghĩa khí anh hùng’, scheduled for the 2027 Tet holiday, and ‘Nữ binh’, set for 2028. The latter film aims to depict ordinary women during the Nguyễn Dynasty, emphasizing realistic combat and psychological depth over fantasy elements.
