'Crazy Rich Asians' Is the Most Successful U.S. Studio Rom-Com in 9 Years | THR News

Crazy Rich Asians has become a major box office success, surpassing other romantic comedies in recent years. Directed by John M Chu, the film grossed $117 million over the Labor Day weekend, outperforming Amy Schumer's Trainwreck. It has defied the comedy slump in the US box office and is the top romcom since The Proposal in 2009. The film, along with others like The Meg and Mission Impossible Fallout, boosted the August box office by nearly 30% compared to 2017. Crazy Rich Asians also became the most successful live-action comedy in two years, surpassing Girls Trip. The film appeals to a diverse audience and is the first Hollywood studio film with an all Westernized Asian American cast since 1993's Joy Luck Club. Warner Brothers is planning a sequel featuring stars like Constance Wu and Henry Goulding.
