Crazy Rich Asians underwhelms at Chinese box office

Crazy Rich Asians might have been a big hit at western box offices this year ‑ but Chinese audiences clearly don't feel the same way about the film.

The Hollywood blockbuster featuring an all‑Asian cast failed to ignite the Chinese box office, limping in at number eight on its debut.

It was released four months after its US release, taking just $US1.1 million in its first three days.

The film has so far made around $USD238 million worldwide.

Eyebrows may be raised at the fact Crazy Rich Asians has flopped in the most populous Asian nation.
