Crazy Rich Asians draws immigrant parents to the movies

LOS ANGELES - When Crazy Rich Asians surpassed expectations and grabbed the top spot at the box office in its opening weekend, the film also pulled off another surprising feat: It put Asians of a certain age in theater seats.

Younger Asian-Americans have been flocking with their parents to see the first movie in 25 years with an all-Asian cast.

Warner Bros' Asian-centric film Crazy Rich Asians continued to lead the North American weekend box office takings with an estimated $25 million for a second weekend in a row.
