The regulatory body of Chinese cinema generally only allows 34 foreign films to be shown in theaters each year. Marking one of these coveted niches can dramatically increase box office returns from a movie. Several big-budget Hollywood films like "Ready Player One" and "Black Panther" had bigger debuts in China than in North America.
"Crazy Rich Asians" has a different title for China which translates roughly to "Tales of Gold Digging". This is in contradiction with the scenario of the film in which the main character has no idea of the incredible family wealth of his Singaporean boyfriend. When he arrived in Hong Kong at the end of August, the title was translated as "My super rich friend".
Warner Bros. did not respond to a request for comment indicating whether any changes had been made to the film at the request of the Chinese regulator.
The makers of "Crazy Rich Asians" hoped to embark on the world's second largest film market.
"Crazy Rich Asians" was a late summer hit in the United States and has since been published in dozens of countries, from Australia to Venezuela. He has already brought in $ 228 million worldwide.
