FAQ
Vietnamese Box Office All Time: Questions & Answers
The chart's numbers in short: the #1 film, the total, the billion-dollar hits and the US & Canada share, answered from the same 73 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing Vietnamese-language movie of all time?
The House (2017) leads with $34.3M worldwide, $25.6M of it in the US & Canada. Next come Mai (2024) at $21.7M and The House of No Man (2023) at $19.5M.
How much have Vietnamese-language movies earned at the box office?
73 Vietnamese-language films in our database report a worldwide gross, $272.5M in all, or $3.7M per film on average.
How many Vietnamese-language movies have made $1 billion?
None. The biggest, The House (2017), earned $34.3M.
How is the all-time Vietnamese box office chart ranked and where do the numbers come from?
Films are ranked by lifetime worldwide gross in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation. The figures are the reported box office grosses in our database. A gross that looks misattributed, such as one figure shared by two unrelated films or a blockbuster total on an obscure title, is left out rather than shown as a fact, and so are films whose stored language is most likely wrong.
How often is the all-time Vietnamese box office chart updated?
Grosses change while films are in theaters and whenever a new figure is reported; this chart reads the latest numbers in our database, so an older film can still move after a re-release.
