Kong: Skull Island earned 104 billion VND in Vietnam after 7 days

The new blockbuster about King Kong by director Jordan Vogt - Roberts has created a real fever in Vietnam and is on its way to breaking the box office records of “Fast & Furious 7” from two years ago.

Currently, the record revenue for a film in the Vietnamese market belongs to Fast & Furious 7. Two years ago, Vin Diesel's high-speed action blockbuster brought the distributor about 142 billion VND (equivalent to 6.26 million USD).

At its current rate of earning, Kong: Skull Island is well on its way to surpassing the milestone it has held since 2015.

Blockbuster Kong: Skull Island continues to break box office records in the Vietnamese market after just one week of release.

The appeal of Kong: Skull Island in the Vietnamese market is completely understandable. The film directed by Jordan Vogt - Roberts contains many scenes shot in Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh and Quang Binh, was made in early 2016, and also received great support from the domestic media.

Immediately after the film premiered in Los Angeles, USA on March 8, director Jordan Vogt - Roberts flew to Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to promote the blockbuster. The 33-year-old Detroit filmmaker participated in many press activities, including an online interview with Zing.vn on March 13, as well as a visit to Ha Long Bay with Suboi.

Kong: Skull Island successfully dethroned Logan in North America and brought the producer more than 142 million USD globally after three days.

Also during this time, Jordan Vogt-Roberts was appointed as Vietnam Tourism Ambassador for the 2017-2020 term. He promised to continue what he did with Kong: using cinema and many other art forms to promote the beautiful image of Vietnam to the world, while collaborating with domestic talents.

In addition, Vogt-Roberts also plans to move to Ho Chi Minh City as soon as possible after deciding to sell his house in Los Angeles.
