Box office: the romantic comedy of the crazy rich asians is the great surprise of the summer in the united States

In a summer dominated by the aftermath, the big surprise of the box office in the united States is a quirky romantic comedy that is starting to fall in love critics and the general public. ‘Crazy Rich Asian’ retains the no. 1-ranked american to raise $ 25 million, only 5.7% fewer than in the weekend of its premiere.

Is a percentage spectacular accompanied by a slight increase of copies (142, for a total of 3.526). Warner gave the nail on the head of the betting for this adaptation of the best-selling novel by Kevin Kwan, a production that stands out for its cast, headed only by actors of asian descent, something rare to see in Hollywood —from ‘The club of the lucky star’ (1993) there was something like this—.

With more than 7000$ per film, it should be noted that this film has also achieved the best average per room of the TOP 10 for the second week in a row; ‘Megalodón’ (‘The Meg’) is the 2nd best result with 3.232$ . ‘Crazy Rich Asian’ cost 30 million and already has spent 76, a success that has encouraged the studio to put in march the second part. It has been confirmed that will again be directed by Jon M. Chu.

‘The Happytime Murders’, the controversial comedy starring Melissa McCarthy, which in Spain is known as ‘¿Who is killing the moñecos?’, was the big premiere of the weekend in the U.S., but as we can see in the table, has not aroused as much interest as hoped for by its leaders. Have to settle with 3rd place and a disappointing collection of 10 million (cost 40).

In the 9th position comes ‘A-X-L’, a sci-fi adventure about a mechanical dog and two teenagers in love, played by Alex Neustaedter, and Becky G. In the cast stands out the name of Thomas Jane.
