Doraemon has just returned, 2 Vietnamese movies worth hundreds of billions have sadly given up the stage, what's ho.t?

If "Detective Kien" struggled to surpass "Vong Tay Nang" to reach the top spot, "Doraemon Movie 44" only needed 1 day to do the same. Showing that the "Meo Robot" brand is still very ho.t in Vietnam.

At that time, the film recorded a revenue of 30.8 million USD worldwide (nearly 798 billion VND) and held the top spot at the box office for 6 consecutive weeks, until it was overthrown by the animated film "Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback".
