Movies these days have so much competition that it even goes down to tiny things such as the date of release. If two different movies, one movie a blockbuster and another a simpler movie, are released on the same day, people prefer the blockbuster and hence the second movie has a huge loss in earnings. Even two very popular movies released on the same day experience this divide as they receive half the influx than before. Let's verify this with the Top 10 Thai Movies With Clash On Releases.
1. My God Father, The Ghoul
My God Father is a popular romantic comedy directed by Nasorn Panungkasiri that was released on 13 October 2020. This movie could not keep up with the Thai horror flick, The Ghoul: Horror at the Howling Field, that hit the local cinemas on 22 October of the same year.
2. Pee Nak 2, Low Season
Everybody was eagerly awaiting the second installment of the horror-comedy thriller Pee Nak on 17 February 2020.

3. Deep, Ghost Lab
Deep is a science fiction thriller created and directed by novice students at Bangkok University. This film was released on 16th July 2021 and had several new talents in its cast.
