‘Crazy Rich Asians’ could be groundbreaking for Hollywood. Will its box office open the film industry’s doors?

The studio and the filmmakers are about to find out if their bet will pay off. The movie, based on Kevin Kwan’s bestselling novel about a young Chinese American economics professor who discovers her boyfriend comes from one of Singapore’s wealthiest families, is expected to collect a solid $29 million through Sunday, according to pre-release audience surveys.

The movie will be released in international markets, including most Asian countries, in the coming weeks. “Crazy Rich Asians” does not yet have a release date for mainland China, the world’s second-largest box office market. However, it could do strong business there because of its cultural themes and cast, which includes Malaysian cinema star Michelle Yeoh (“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”).

thoughts after Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again

  • this movie single-handedly saved this year
  • holy damn now I understand why Donna slept with all three guys?!?!??
  • and why the guys fell for her so quick??
  • literally every person in the movie is a bisexual dream
  • young Tanya? I’m in love.
  • Sky got older but daaaamn he got better
  • the songs were so good
  • Colin Firth during Dancing Queen cleared my skin, watered my corps and cured my depression
  • young Bill could get it, like, any time
  • the guy checking the passports at the dock is way too relatable
  • the girl in the first row in the church when Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried were singing together is me
  • Aunt Sofia is so badass, she’s like the Grandma in Mulan
  • when Harry said he’s spontaneous person I literally snorted loudly
  • so many great references to the first movie
  • every single outfit Cher wore was Iconic™
  • Bill and Harry doing the Titanic pose during Dancing Queen
  • the way they cut Sophie and Sky singing One of Us in the beginning was so beautiful and smooth and probably my favourite scene in the whole movie
  • this:

Sophie: Sky!

Sky: I haven’t told anyone!

Sophie: I only told Sam.

Sam: I only told Bill.

Bill: I only told Harry.

Harry: I told many, many people.

  • seriously Dancing Queen was so good and fun I almost started clapping and cheering when it ended before I realised I’m in a movie theater and I shouldn’t
  • the dance in Waterloo!! young Harry didn’t get too much screen time, but that was breathtaking
  • I honestly didn’t want the movie to end. I just wanted two more hours of it
  • JUST DO A FAVOUR FOR YOURSELF AND WATCH IT
