Crazy Rich Asians Get Richer at Box Office: Will Cross $100 Mil Mark Tonight in US, Already There Worldwide

Share

Except for the very good “Operation Finale,” this Labor Day weekend is pretty much about holdovers from the summer.

Today, “Crazy Rich Asians” will get a lot richer. Jon M. Chu’s breakout hit will cross the $100 million line in the US. Thanks to its release in just four countries– none Asian– the comedy is already at $101 million internationally. Just wait til it really starts playing around the world.

“Mission Impossible: Fallout” will hit the $200 million mark in the US tonight. It’s the most successful of all the “MI” movies, and Tom Cruise’s biggest hit since the last episode. In between, he’s had a string of duds. Cruise is the sequelizer. He was hoping his “Top Gun” sequel would extend that run in 2019, but the update has been postponed until 2020.

“Solo: A Star Wars Story” made just $13,000 last night on its 99th day of release. Total $213 million, worldwide including US $385 million.
