The Vietnamese romantic drama 'Meet Me at the Eclipse' is set to open in North American theaters on May 8, following its record-breaking success at the local box office. Directed by Lê Thiện Viễn, the film has earned over $4 million in Vietnam, becoming the second highest-grossing original screenplay romance in the country's history. The story, which uses a 1995 solar eclipse as a central metaphor, explores themes of first love and past reckonings through a collection of long-lost love letters.
Mockingbird Pictures is overseeing the global distribution, with confirmed screenings at major U.S. chains like AMC and Regal. The theatrical strategy aims to position Southeast Asian cinema as a sustained presence on the international stage. Following the North American launch, the film will also expand into Australia and New Zealand, with further negotiations underway for releases in China, Japan, and South Korea, signaling a significant push for Vietnamese stories to resonate with global audiences.
