When it comes to the world stage, not much is known about Vietnamese films unlike their Korean and Japanese counterparts. Recently, however, Vietnamese filmmakers and distributors are looking curb this reputation by gaining success in foreign markets.
Bo Gia (“Old Father”) is a film about Sang, an aging motorcycle rider who lives in a low-income neighborhood. Although Sang is poor and suffers from an illness, he always sacrifices himself for his family. The film resonated with audiences and shattered box office records, becoming the fastest-selling Vietnamese movie to hit VND 100 billion (USD 4.3 million).
Bo Gia was released last March 3, but due to its popularity growing internationally, it was released in Singapore and Malaysia in April 22. Based on the global box office revenue tracker Box Office Mojo, Bo Gia placed 38th in the chart with a revenue of USD 17 million.
