Sharing on his personal page, he expressed his sadness at the results that were not as expected, and at the same time called on the audience to contribute opinions to learn from experience for the next projects.
According to reference data from Box Office Vietnam, as of the evening of December 12, the film "Miracle Generation" has not reached the 400 million VND revenue mark - a figure considered very low for a widely released Vietnamese film. The limited number of screenings and the occupancy rate at the alarm level show that the work has many difficulties in reaching the audience right from the first day of release.
Director Hoang Nam's early admission of failure surprised many people, because usually filmmakers often wait a few more days to observe box office developments. However, in the context of the year-end film market being overwhelmed by international blockbusters such as Zootopia: The Skyrocketing Agency 2 and especially Avatar 3 about to hit theaters from December 19, experts say the opportunity for "Generation of miracles" to reverse revenue is very slim. The risk of losses is therefore assessed at a high level.
Previously, "Miracle Generation" attracted attention when marking Hoang Nam's second film, after the surprising success of his debut film "Seven Nights of Power" which surpassed the 100 billion VND revenue mark in early 2025. However, unlike the positive effects of the previous project, this film has encountered many mixed opinions since its press debut. In particular, the film's renaming and shifting of the message from the story of the grandmother and grandchild to the theme of ambition and dreams of young people has made many audiences and critics think that the director is in a hurry to catch the "trend".
Hoang Nam said that he initially wrote the script with personal inspiration, naming the film "Ba don mat con". However, in the post-production process, he realized that the love of his grandmother was the driving force for creating " miracles" for the next generation, so he decided to change his name to "Miracle Generation" to cheer on the young people. Although the message is positively evaluated, the implementation method is commented to be still forced, not seamless and not convincing enough.
From a positive perspective, a part of the audience believes that "The miracle generation" was done more carefully than "The Light of the Heart", showing the progress of the slow-moving director. The film also scores points when recreating the space of Hanoi with old architectural works, daily life and conflicts between three generations in the family, including the issue of male and female obstacles.
However, with the current box office situation, "Miracle Generation" is facing great pressure in terms of revenue. frankly admitting failure is considered a rare begetting move, but it also clearly reflects the harsh reality of the Vietnamese film market, where the humane message and social media attraction are not enough to guarantee box office success.
