The Immortal returned after 8 years, achieving "huge" sales after only 3 days in theaters

After 8 years of absence, The Immortal suddenly returned to the big screen and immediately created an effect on the audience. Victor Vu's film still retains its attraction thanks to its mysterious content, impressive imagery and remarkable box office achievements.

After three days of officially returning to theaters, the movie The Immortal by director Victor Vu quickly recorded revenue exceeding 10 billion VND, according to statistics from the box office system. This impressive number helps the work immediately attract the attention of the audience in the early days of 2026, even though this is not a new film.

The Immortal will be re-premiered from 04/02/2026. Although it has been released before, the film still creates attraction thanks to its dramatic, dark colors mixed with spiritual and mystical elements typical of Victor Vu's filmmaking style. The fact that the work achieved a revenue of more than 10 billion VND after just three days shows that the Vietnamese film line with boyish and ghostly colors still has its own place in the hearts of the audience.

When it was first released, The Immortal belonged to the drama genre combining spiritual elements, revolving around the journey to find solutions to strange dreams and prolonged sleepwalking of the character An played by Dinh Ngoc Diep. The repetitive images in the dream made An unable to live a normal life with peace of mind. She follows the disjointed clues and is gradually drawn to a mysterious cave in Quang Binh, where the secret of the life of Hung, the character played by Quach Ngoc Ngoan – a man who has lived for three centuries, is hidden.

Hung's character is just an ordinary guy. However, out of hatred and ambition, he turned to charms and magic with the desire to achieve immortality. The power that seemed to help Hung overcome human limits has become a curse that has followed him for generations. Unable to lose, Hung was forced to witness his loved ones leaving him one after another in time. The longer he lived, the more lonely he became and gradually became a slave to the very fate he once longed for.

The message "the more powerful, the terrible the cost" is integrated throughout the story, not only reflecting Hung's own tragedy but also questioning the limits of human ambition. The film does not focus on exploiting the element of mere scare, but delves into the psychology of the characters, so that the audience can clearly feel the struggle, loneliness and suffering behind the immortal appearance.

In addition to its layered content and dark colors, The Immortal also attracts attention thanks to its familiar cast. Quach Ngoc Ngoan, Dinh Ngoc Diep, Jun Vu and Thanh Tu each take on an important piece in a story that spans many historical periods. The combination of generations of actors helps the film flow seamlessly, both having emotional depth and keeping an attractive narrative rhythm.

In terms of visuals, the work makes a strong impression with a series of majestic natural scenes at the Tu Lan cave system (Quang Binh), combined with ancient spaces in Ha Nam. Wide frames, cold light and deep colors create a characteristic ghostly atmosphere. This is also considered one of the factors that helps the Immortals retain their attractiveness when returning to the cinema after many years.

With a revenue of more than 10 billion VND in just three days of re-premiere, The Immortal shows the enduring vitality of a Vietnamese film that has left its own mark in the hearts of the audience.
