Doan Quoc Dam's film grossed over 133 billion VND but only sold 2 tickets?

According to box office data from the morning of April 22nd, the horror film *The Corpse Possessed 2* recorded a noteworthy figure, selling only 2 tickets for one screening. This information quickly attracted the attention of audiences.

Released on March 13, 2026, *The Corpse Possessed 2* generated strong interest from the very beginning. The film explores horror with a spiritual undertone, combined with a gloomy Western Vietnam setting, creating a distinctively chilling atmosphere. Just one week after its release, the film quickly surpassed 100 billion VND, becoming one of the most prominent Vietnamese horror projects of the year. This achievement helped the film maintain a high position on the box office charts for many consecutive weeks.

However, towards the end of April, the number of screenings for the film began to decrease. This is a common occurrence when new films are about to be released, especially with the April 30th holiday approaching. As more choices become available in the market, previously released films are forced to give way. This led to a significant drop in daily revenue for *The Corpse 2*, resulting in sparsely attended screenings.

According to observers, a screening selling only two tickets is not an isolated incident. This is a natural phenomenon in the film market when a film enters the final stages of its lifecycle. Many high-grossing films have experienced similar situations before leaving theaters. Therefore, this number does not reflect failure but simply indicates that the initial appeal has diminished over time.

Nevertheless, overall, a revenue of over 133 billion VND is still a remarkable achievement for a Vietnamese horror film. This success helps Doan Quoc Dam continue his streak of projects earning hundreds of billions of VND in his career. In the film, the actor plays a villain with a edgy, reckless personality, while also holding many important secrets in the plot. This is also a rare occasion for him to try his hand at the horror genre, marking a significant shift in his choice of roles.

Notably, Doan Quoc Dam directly performed many difficult scenes, including the scene of stealing the demon-slaying chest and situations requiring high physical strength. His character is developed with a complex psychology, possessing both elements of horror and inner depth. This combination creates a unique highlight, contributing to the film's appeal in its initial release.

In terms of content, The Corpse Possession 2 revolves around Minh Nhu's return to her family's dyeing factory after a long absence. There, she constantly encounters mysterious paranormal phenomena and buried secrets. The film has a running time of 126 minutes and is rated T18 due to its many intense horror scenes, combined with "body horror" elements that create a haunting feeling.

The current cooling off hasn't overshadowed the film's initial success. On the contrary, it's a sign that the film has completed its main commercial cycle. At the same time, Doan Quoc Dam's performance remains a key factor in maintaining audience attention. Even as the box office frenzy has subsided, his villainous role is still remembered as a standout highlight in this year's Vietnamese horror film genre.
