'Crazy Rich Asians' Bombs at the Box Office in China

'Crazy Rich Asians' Bombs at the
Box Office in China Analysts say the comedy will be lucky to make more than
$1 million its opening weekend. The film earned about $410,000 on Friday
and $400,000
on Saturday. The number of screenings was also slashed from 32,000 on Friday to
18,700 a day later. The dismal debut is a disappointment
for producers of the film, who had hoped the romantic comedy would be a hit in the world's second largest movie market. Despite the result in China,
'Crazy Rich Asians' was a groundbreaking hit in the U.S.,
scoring over $174 million. It also did well in much of East Asia, including Singapore where most of the film is set.
