Beyond just resurrecting the romantic comedy from the ashes at the box office, Crazy Rich Asians has also now passed Girl’s Trip, which made $115.2 million in 2017.
That makes Crazy Rich Asians the most successful live action comedy, independent of genre, at the box office in at least two years.
Even though comedies haven’t performed like they used to of late, that is still very impressive, made more so by the fact that Crazy Rich Asians only cost $30 million to make.
Worldwide, Crazy Rich Asians has made $136.9 million, but is early in it foreign run and still has plenty of runway left, so some folks will be enjoying some crazy riches when all is said and done.
