Trai buon nguoi passed 450 billion dong after nearly a month in cinemas, according to VnExpress's October 18 box-office snapshot.
The report gives approximately 5.3 million admissions. Director Duong Bao Anh said the result exceeded the team's original hope of recovering costs.
Audience response and reported revenue
The film remained at the top of Box Office Vietnam's daily chart at the time cited in the article.
Suggestions that it could climb further in the all-time Vietnamese rankings are conditional forecasts, not a confirmed final position.
The filmmakers also described audience support during local cinema visits. Those recollections provide their perspective alongside the separate revenue figures.
A proposed younger-audience version
The released film is classified T18.
The producer is preparing a T13 version for submission to the cinema authorities after editing and post-production work.
The article does not confirm approval or a release date for that version.
The story follows Ny, played by Steven Nguyen, as he tries to rescue his sister after she falls into a cross-border online-fraud operation.
Comments cited by VnExpress link the film's appeal to action storytelling and a recognisable social issue.
The established commercial figure is the 450-billion-dong reporting milestone. Final revenue and the regulatory outcome for the proposed alternative version remain for later updates.
The filmmakers said the milestone was well beyond their initial financial expectations.
