Human trafficking ring nears 100 billion VND mark, revenue surges like 'Red Rain
"Human Trafficking Camp" is currently being discussed extensively across various domestic social media platforms. The film held early screenings on the evening of September 24th and officially premiered on September 25th, currently grossing 95 billion VND according to Box Office Vietnam statistics. The film revolves around the survival journey of two siblings, Ny (Steven Nguyen) and Ut Det (Runner-up Huynh Minh Kien), after being abducted into a cross-border human trafficking den.
Unlike the previous film "Blood Paradise" which shared a similar theme, "Human Trafficking Camp" does not merely depict the cruelty and inhumanity of the trafficking organization, but uses it as a catalyst for hundreds of victims to unite, revolt, and escape.
The film belongs to the action-survival genre with many dramatic elements that remind audiences of the film "Air Battle" (2025). Its fast-paced, intense rhythm and poignant subject matter have led to widespread word-of-mouth recommendations across many Vietnamese film enthusiast groups.
The Box Office Vietnam platform recorded that in its first week of release, "Human Trafficking Camp" sold over 213,000 tickets on Friday and 240,000 tickets on Saturday, comparable to "Red Rain" with over 212,000 tickets on its first Friday and over 291,000 tickets on its first Saturday.
On Sunday, September 27th, the film sold an additional 328,000 tickets, equivalent to over 30 billion VND. The positive first-week performance, especially outside of any major holiday period, has led many observers and audiences to predict that the film could reach a revenue of 200 billion VND or even higher.
The outstanding performance of "Human Trafficking Camp" has caused "Ut Lan 2" and "Rising Up" to cool off early. These two films are currently in their second and third weeks of release, respectively (calculated from their early screenings/first release dates).
With the "top 3" spots held by Vietnamese films, the re-release of "Avengers: Endgame" only reached 4th place in the top 5 revenue rankings. Following it are other notable and highly-rated foreign films, such as "Resident Evil" (horror, sci-fi), "Forgotten Island" (comedy, adventure) from the US, and "Eight Immortals! Searching for the Glazed Lantern" (animation, mythology) from China./.
