Trại buôn người becomes highest-grossing Vietnamese film of 2026

The film ‘Trại buôn người’ (Human Trafficking Camp) has become the highest-grossing Vietnamese film of 2026, surpassing Trấn Thành’s ‘Thỏ ơi’ with a revenue of approximately 459 billion VND. Directed by Toni Dương Bảo Anh, the film explores the timely and intense themes of cross-border human trafficking and online fraud through the story of Ny (played by Steven Nguyễn), who attempts to rescue his sister from a criminal syndicate.

Despite being a debut feature for the director and facing some critical scrutiny regarding plot holes, the film has maintained a dominant position at the box office for four consecutive weeks. It reached the 400 billion VND milestone in just 17 days. The film’s success has also propelled Steven Nguyễn into a historic position in the Vietnamese box office.

While the film’s growth rate has slowed compared to its initial explosion, it continues to lead the market with thousands of daily screenings, even as competition from international titles like ‘Quỷ ăn tạng 4’ increases.
