Vietnam-based sales agent Skyline Media is bringing the psychological thriller “Sister Sister” to Apple TV across 36 international territories beginning March 8, timed to coincide with International Women’s Day. The move represents the broadest release of a Vietnamese title on the platform in some 10 years.
The rollout covers markets across North America, Europe and Oceania. In the Americas, the film will be available in the U.S., Canada, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Belize, Bermuda, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad and Tobago. European markets include Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Grenada, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and the U.K. In Oceania, the title will reach Australia, Fiji and Micronesia – with Australia the only territory where it had previously been available on the platform.
The launch also signals the start of a wider arrangement between Skyline Media and Apple TV, with further titles from the company’s catalogue expected to follow. It extends Skyline’s track record of placing Vietnamese content on major global platforms, having previously secured deals for Vietnamese films on Netflix in Vietnam, across Asia and in worldwide markets.
Directed by Vietnamese-American filmmaker Kathy Uyen in her debut feature, “Sister Sister” stars supermodel-actress Thanh Hang (“Go-Go Sisters”), Vietnamese pop icon Chi Pu (“Muoi: The Curse Returns”) and actor Lanh Thanh (“Goodbye Mother”). The story centers on a celebrity radio presenter who shelters a woman she saves from a violent attack, only to find herself drawn into a tense contest of psychological control and shifting allegiances between the two.
Produced by Muse Films, the title ranked as the second highest-grossing Vietnamese thriller of 2019, taking in $2.7 million at the Vietnamese box office. It screened at the 25th Busan International Film Festival and claimed the ABC TV Award at the 2021 Osaka Asian Film Festival. A follow-up released in 2023 earned more than $4.6 million domestically, extending the property into a franchise.
Skyline Media represents more than 150 Vietnamese and Southeast Asian titles and distributes content across more than 50 countries through upward of 130 partnerships worldwide.
