‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Does Not Get Same Attention In China As In The US

While “Crazy Rich Asians” did every well in the U.S., movie audiences in China did not care much for the film. While its all-Asian cast made got people talking in the U.S., China is use to seeing all-Asian casts. According to SFGate, during its opening weekend the film only grossed $1.2 million. People thought the film’s focus on extravagant wealth would be a barrier for it to premiere in China. Yet China’s film board approved the film, along with “Aquaman” and “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.”
