In a major nod to Southeast Asian storytelling, Miramax has officially acquired the rights to remake the emotional Thai box office sensation _How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies_, a film that has captivated audiences with its raw look at love, regret, and the pursuit of connection across generations.
The original story follows a young man who, upon learning his grandmother is dying, moves in with her under the guise of caring — but secretly hopes to secure an inheritance, only to find himself transformed by the bond they form and the lessons he never expected to learn.
This deeply human narrative struck a chord far beyond Thailand, sparking conversations about familial duty, the price of ambition, and the unspoken tenderness that often exists between grandparents and grandchildren, earning it buzz as a potential contender for International Feature honors.
By choosing to remake How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, Miramax isn’t just adapting a successful foreign film — it’s acknowledging that some stories are so profoundly universal, so emotionally true, they deserve to be retold for wider audiences without losing their heart.
