“Crazy Rich Asians” is cruising toward its third-straight weekend on top of the box office.<\/h2>\n

The Warner Bros. romantic comedy is expected to bring in at least $23 million between Friday and Sunday and $30 million over a four-day period including Labor Day on Monday, according to Box Office Mojo.<\/a> <\/p>\n

That’s only a slight dropoff from what the flick brought in last weekend \u2014 a sign demand is still going strong for the first major US studio production with a predominately Asian cast in 25 years. <\/p>\n

The movie has quickly become one of the most successful rom-coms in years and has helped lead a rebound for Hollywood box offices<\/a> after a rough 2017. “Crazy Rich Asians” is based on the book of the same name by Kevin Kwan. <\/p>\n

The film’s success has prompted a sequel<\/a>, which is in early development. <\/p>\n

Projections show Warner Bros.’s “The Meg,” which debuted August 10, will be the second most seen flick on screens over the holiday weekend. It’s expected to net about $15.4 million over the four-day period, according to estimates. <\/p>\n

The sixth “Mission Impossible” movie, “Fallout,” released July 27, is expected to net $11.9 million Labor Day weekend. <\/p>\n

Headed for fourth, fifth and sixth are Disney’s “Christopher Robin,” MGM’s “Operation Finale,” and STXfilms’s “The Happytime Murders,” according to Box Office Mojo. <\/p>\n
