A Vietnamese movie released this week is Appropriation did not get impressive results as expected.
The project is notable for gathering a star cast including Miu Le, Karik, Lanh Thanh, Phuong Anh Dao… Not to mention before release, the crew released a trailer and a series of images revealing many 18+ scenes, making the movie even more exciting. noisy.
The crew applied the strategy of screening one week in advance, helping the film to be favored with the highest number of screenings last week (more than 3,300 screenings).
Unfortunately when released, Appropriation only stopped at number 3 with unimpressive revenue of more than 6.4 billion VND. The numbers show that the film’s occupancy rate is also low, with an average of just over 20 tickets per screening.
The work did not receive support from the audience and was criticized for its content and acting. Most audiences were disappointed to see stars participating in a project of such low quality. The story is old but the construction is confusing and the script has many errors.
The hot scenes in the movie are also meant to attract customers, not really playing an important role, partly causing the project to lose points for being offensive. This is also the downside of over-marketing, taking advantage of hot scenes to advertise movies instead of focusing on quality and content.

Korean movies surpass Hollywood movies
Last week, the Hollywood project in the spotlight was The Marvels did not explode at the box office as expected. With a budget of more than 270 million USD, this is one of the most expensive blockbusters currently.
Unfortunately, Marvel’s film is facing the possibility of losing money because it only earned more than 160 million USD at the global box office. The company’s marketing strategy also did not help the work get more attention because the content was old and the story lacked depth.
Not only in the world, The Marvels has not yet attracted Vietnamese audiences. Movie revenue decreased by more than 75% compared to last week, from more than 15 billion VND to more than 3.1 billion VND in the last 3 days of the weekend.
Surpassing both Vietnamese films and Hollywood blockbusters is a Korean film Love your cool wife again. The project belongs to the rom-com genre (comedy, romance), gathering two beautiful young actors, Kang Ha Neul and Jung So Min.
From content to genre, everything is not new, but Love your cool wife again suddenly created quite a good effect on social networks, thereby attracting audiences to theaters.
The work’s success is largely due to the publisher’s effective marketing strategy, similarly Suddenly won the lottery last year. Furthermore, both Vietnamese films did not really explode, creating conditions for foreign films to take over.
Most moviegoers appreciate the director’s creativity in transforming an old story to create surprise.
That’s why in Korea, Love your cool wife again also achieved good results, currently ranked 6th in the list of the 10 most popular movies of the year.
