Following a vibrant August featuring a race between three Vietnamese films, September continues with four new releases: Still Owe a Goodbye, Rising Fortune, Phantom of the Theater, and Ut Lan 2.

On September 18, Rising Fortune and Phantom of the Theater will be released simultaneously. Rising Fortune marks the reunion of director Khuong Ngoc and Hong Dao following the success of Sister-in-law and Grandma's Gold Nugget.
Rising Fortune revolves around a struggling funeral home owner and a young man in desperate need of money. One tries to keep the business afloat, while the other tries to save his critically ill mother; the two accidentally get caught in a "fateful deal." From this deal, the secret of a debt buried for many years is gradually revealed.

Phantom of the Theater follows Tuan, a real estate specialist tasked with reviving an old theater within a month. There, he discovers the place is haunted by Nha, an actress who died unjustly and cannot find peace. Tuan and his team try to save the Golden Theater through a "deal of the century" between the living and the dead.
The Vietnamese cinema schedule for September concludes with Ut Lan 2. Set in the river regions of the Mekong Delta, the film revolves around a village where mysterious deaths occur one after another following the appearance of a two-headed snake. As buried secrets are gradually revealed, the villagers must face curses and a haunting "spiritual connection" between the living and the dead.
