There are no magic spells for Ngoc Trinh's films.

"Underworld Beauty Salon," starring Ngoc Trinh, has grossed less than 13 billion VND after two weeks in theaters. The film has no chance of a turnaround as the number of screenings has almost hit rock bottom.

According to Box Office Vietnam, the horror film starring Ngoc Trinh and Xuan Lan has sunk deep into the box office rankings. After more than two weeks since its release, the film's revenue is recorded at 12.6 billion VND - a low figure compared to the average for domestic films recently.

Despite special screenings starting on May 6th, "Underworld Beauty Salon" has failed to attract much audience attention. The film struggled from its initial steps at the box office, earning money slowly. Due to its unfavorable opening, the film had its screenings reduced, causing box office figures to plummet.

In recent days, the film "Underworld Beauty Salon" has only sold a trickle of tickets. On the morning of May 24th, director Nguyen Huu Hoang's brainchild sold only 10 tickets out of 33 screenings, bringing in an additional 1 million VND. Given the current situation, the film is highly likely to end its theatrical run with a revenue of around 13 billion VND – a figure unlikely to help the producers recoup their investment.

The Underworld Beauty Salon is a horror film centered around the obsession with beauty. The story follows a young doctor named Thanh (Ngoc Trinh). To earn money to save her comatose lover, she accepts a job at a secluded beauty salon. However, upon arriving, Thanh discovers many unusual occurrences. The young woman faces bizarre paranormal events before uncovering the secret of the salon owner.

The film has some noteworthy ideas and features Ngọc Trinh, a name that easily attracts attention. However, these factors still couldn't "save" the film's box office revenue. The reason is the average quality of the script and acting. The marketing was also ineffective, failing to create brand recognition or a reason for audiences to buy tickets.
