Hollywood calls for Thai hit, "How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies"

15 May - Miramax has now acquired the rights to the hit Thai film, "How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies".

The studio announced the news on 14 May, with Miramax CEO Jonathan Glickman stating, "How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies is a rare gem that manages to be hilarious, surprisingly poignant, and moving all at once. Like the original, we hope our adaptation brings generations of families to the cinema together."

The film's Producer Vanridee Pongsittisak expressed, "The heart of a family is universal, but each home holds an entirely different story. That's why I'm excited to see How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies comes to life once again, this time in an American household."

The Pat Boonnitipat film, starring Usha Seamkhum and Putthipong Assaratanakul, tells the story of a college dropout who decides to move in and care for his terminally ill grandmother for her inheritance, only to create a strong bond with her that reshapes his understanding of family.

The film, which made over USD 55 million at the international box office, was the first Thai film to ever be shortlisted for the Academy Awards' Best International Picture.
