âThe Megâ may have debuted in the top spot over the weekend, but it could meet its match with Warner Brosâ âCrazy Rich Asians." A mixture of girl power and general excitement are shaping the film up to be a smash hit in the box office.
âThe advance ticket sales for âCrazy Rich Asiansâ are among the best weâve seen for any comedy this summer,â says Fandango honcho Erik David, adding that the romantic-comedy film fits in with the type people usually come back to see more than once. Thatâs not all, director Jon M. Chuâs film is expected to easily gross $30 million for its debut. It could even take âThe Megâsâ top spot.
It looks like âCrazy Rich Asiansâ partly has girl power to thank. Not only are female moviegoers expected to drive the filmâs success, but according to a Fandango survey, out of 1,000 people planning to see the film, 95% are most excited about the filmâs female-heavy cast â with another 93% just happy for a break from superhero flicks.
