Immediately, Tran Thanh's post quickly received countless congratulations from friends, colleagues and audiences. In addition, this international move is expected to help 'Mai' increase box office revenue and set many new records.

Speaking to Deadline, Thien A. Pham, founder of 3388 Films, said: "We continue to disrupt the way international films are distributed outside the domestic US market. When we released "The Godfather ", it changed the film industry's perception of the potential of a Vietnamese film at the American box office. We released the film in 50 theaters in the United States, going against the regulation at that time of screening one movie at a time. Vietnamese films have no more than 10-18 screens. Now, with "Mai", we are expanding the boundaries and once again heading towards unexplored territories. We have forward-thinking partners , who support our belief: it takes time and courage to continuously seek out market opportunities and capture and develop them."

Mai is the first movie to reach the 500 billion VND mark in Vietnam after less than 4 weeks of release. Along with the revenue of Mrs. Nu's House (475 billion VND) and The Godfather (427 billion VND), Tran Thanh owns the top 3 highest-grossing films at the Vietnamese box office.

Compared to the two films Mrs. Nu's House and The Godfather, Tran Thanh's Mai received the least mixed opinions. Tran Thanh shows a clear improvement, from shooting angles, scene transitions to storytelling. The film no longer has too many fighting scenes and "market" dialogue between the characters. Mai is considered Tran Thanh's best film ever.

On February 13, the film set a record for the fastest revenue of 100 billion VND in the history of Vietnamese theaters (after only 3 days of release. Mai also reached the milestone of 200 billion VND in revenue after 5 days of release and after only 8 days). collected 300 billion VND (exceeding the record of 300 billion VND in 11 days of Mrs. Nu's House).
