\"'Crazy\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“Crazy Rich Asians<\/a>” is still crazy rich at the box office.<\/h2>\n

The Warner Bros. rom-com brought in an estimated $25 million in its second weekend to once again top the box office<\/a>. <\/p>\n

That’s just a 6% drop from its haul over the previous weekend, and nearly unheard at the box office. <\/p>\n

Most films experience a sizable drop once the buzz of its opening fades. <\/p>\n

For example, the summer’s top film, Disney’s “Incredibles 2” dipped about 56% between its first and second weekend, according to comScore<\/span> (SCOR<\/a><\/span>)<\/span>. Yet, “Crazy Rich Asians” has held on to its audience bringing in $76.8 million domestically since its debut. <\/p>\n

The film, which is the first major studio picture to feature a predominantly Asian cast since “The Joy Luck Club” 25 years ago, exceeded expectations <\/a>and opened as one of the biggest rom-coms in years. <\/p>\n

The popularity has led Warner Bros. to already get started on a sequel.<\/a> <\/p>\n

The film, which stars Constance Wu as a college professor who travels to Singapore to meet the wealthy family of her boyfriend played by Henry Golding, is based on the book of the same name by Kevin Kwan. <\/p>\n

The creators of the film made news before it opened by reportedly<\/a> turning down Netflix. The filmmakers opted for a wide release in theaters to give the inclusive story a chance at more exposure. <\/p>\n
