Crazy Rich Asians reigned supreme at the box office for the second weekend in a row. It raked in another $25 million for Warner Bros., bringing its total box office to $76.8 million, according to Deadline. Warner Bros., the studio behind the film (which allegedly already has a sequel in the works), recognized the opportunity to create a “pop culture moment” around Crazy Rich Asians. It’s the first studio film in 25 years (since 1993’s The Joy Luck Club) to feature an all Westernized Asian cast.
