Released at almost the same time during the April 30 - May 1 holiday this year, Ly Hai's "Flip Side 8" and "Detective Kien" have to compete head-to-head in the Vietnamese box office market. Both have closely followed figures in terms of ticket sales as well as revenue after each stage.
At present, after more than 2 months of release, both films are preparing to leave theaters with the number of screenings and ticket sales decreasing sharply. Accordingly, each film only has about 1-2 screenings/day, some screenings do not sell any tickets.
According to statistics from Box Office Vietnam, as of July 7, the movie "Flip Side 8" has brought in 231,992,289,909 VND in box office revenue. Meanwhile, "Detective Kien" won with 248,923,734,116 VND.
Currently, the producer of "Detective Kien" has announced the date the film will leave theaters as July 11. Meanwhile, "Flip Side 8" has not yet announced information about the time the film will stop showing. However, based on the low number of screenings, it can be seen that Ly Hai's work will not last long in Vietnamese theater systems.
Not only did it beat Ly Hai's film, "Detective Kien" is also Victor Vu's highest-grossing work to date. Previously, the male director's highest-grossing film was "Mat Biec" with 180 billion VND. The film also helped Victor Vu win the "Best Director" award in the Vietnamese Film category at the 2025 Da Nang Asian Film Festival.
In Ly Hai's view, "Lat mat 8" is considered a step backward in the artist's career in terms of box office revenue. In fact, the film's revenue is less than half of the previous work - "Lat mat 7: Mot giau uoc" - with 482 billion VND.
However, both "Flip Side 8" and "Detective Kien" are in the top of the works with positive revenue in 2025. Currently, leading the Vietnamese box office revenue this year is "The Four Guardians" with more than 332 billion VND.
