CRAZY RICH ASIANS by Kevin Kwan Smashes Box Office for Second Week in a Row and Gets a Sequel Greenlit! by Bonnie Lynn Wagner
- August 27, 2018 Warner Brothers next expected Crazy Rich Asians to be as successful as it has. They predicted the movie would take in 20-25 million its first weekend. Instead, it took in 35 million. In its second week, it took 25 million, remaining in first place at the box for a second week straight and only dropping 6%, bringing in huge numbers for the studio. It is rare for a movie to have such a low drop in its second week; word-of-mouth has been golden and everyone is rushing to see the feel-good movie of the summer that has all their friends and co-workers buzzing.
