Asian-centric film 'Crazy Rich Asians' sequel in works after box office success

The follow-up of Warner Bros.' Asian-centric film Crazy Rich Asians, based on Kevin Kwan's novel of the same name, is reportedly in the development stages after an impressive box office success in its opening weekend.

"The creative team behind Warner Bros.' breakout romantic comedy is planning to reunite for the sequel, based on Kevin Kwan's second book, 'China Rich Girlfriend.'" American digital and print magazine, the Hollywood Reporter, reported on Wednesday.

Kwan was born in Singapore as the youngest of three boys into an established Chinese family. The Crazy Rich Asians inspired by his childhood in Singapore was the first of his trilogy novels. The two other titles are "China Rich Girlfriend" and "Rich People Problems."

"Warner Bros. has not yet officially greenlighted the sequel... but with the massive opening weekend results, a strong performance in weeks to come will all but guarantee the sequel is a go," the Hollywood Reporter added.
