Summary of Top 5+ Cinemas in Ho Chi Minh City
Many cineplexes are located in shopping centers. Most shopping centers in Ho Chi Minh City have cineplexes.
Prices offered by different brands are not so different. So that I would like to recommend to watch movies near your place or at shopping centers where you go shopping or have your meals.
Prices of movie tickets at a cineplex depend on ages (adult, children, senior), student (or pupils), times (before or after 17:00), days of week (Monday – Friday, Saturday – Sunday), holidays, festivals, Valentine’s Day, International (or Vietnamese) Women’s Day, promotions (Tuesday/Thursday), members, etc.
Sweetboxes or VIP seats for couples are worth trying although prices are a little higher.
If you can not understand Vietnamese, you can choose English versions or Vietnamese versions with English subtitles.
It is better to buy tickets before going to the cinemas to make sure the tickets are not sold out.
You can come to the cineplexes to buy tickets or buy them online. You can buy movie tickets on websites of CGV, Lotte, Galaxy, Cinebox, Cinestar, BHD or on movie ticket websites such as Moveek: https://moveek.com/en.
CGV provides some special cinemas with luxurious services, newest technologies and greatest experiences. Prices at these special cinemas are rather high, from VND 300,000, including drinks.
