Conan Movie 29 draws 13 billion VND pre‑sale revenue in Vietnam

The latest installment of the long‑running Japanese anime series, Conan Movie 29 (2026) – ‘Thiên Thần Sa Ngã Trên Xa Lộ’ – generated near‑record pre‑sale box‑office numbers in Vietnam. By 16:00 GMT+7 on 17 July, advance ticket sales for the two early‑show dates (18‑19 July) totalled almost 13 billion Vietnamese đồng (≈ US$560 k). The film’s strong pull continued, with more than 200 000 tickets sold on 18 July alone across 4 995 screenings, bringing day‑one revenue to over 21 billion đ and later reported totals exceeding 27 billion đ.

These figures eclipsed the combined daily earnings of the other 28 films then in Vietnamese theatres, including Hollywood’s ‘The Odyssey’. Audience reaction was mixed, with many online comments noting that, regardless of perceived quality, the Conan brand remains a “golden hen” for Vietnamese fans. The movie’s setting features high‑speed car chases on the Yokohama Bay Bridge and a plot involving a tech‑savvy criminal hacking traffic‑camera systems. A separate feature highlighted the realistic depiction of Japanese police uniforms used in the film, underscoring the production’s attention to detail.
