There's a saying that the rich get richer. And in the case of Crazy Rich Asians, it seems the adage rings true. It's been confirmed that the Jon M. Chu-directed romcom will get a sequel, with Chu returning to lead the project.

　　According to the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. Pictures has given the OK to continue development on the Crazy Rich Asians sequel, "with plans to reunite the first movie's original team, including producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson." Although Chu is occupied with a few other projects--including Lin-Manuel Miranda's first musical--sources told the Hollywood Reporter he'd possibly direct the sequel after completing Miranda's In the Heights adaptation, which is scheduled for a June 2020 release.

　　Now Playing: The Biggest Movies To Watch In 2018

　　While Warner Bros. hasn't officially greenlit the project, development on the sequel is still moving forward. It's not uncommon for film studios to monitor the performance of a new franchise before going all in, but Crazy Rich Asians has been exceeding expectations since its opening, grossing an approximate combined total of $40 million dollars worldwide and knocking The Meg out of the water this past weekend. Fans and analysts alike have been impressed with Crazy Rich Asians, especially considering it's the first Hollywood movie since 1993’s The Joy Luck Club to star an all-Western Asian cast.

　　Crazy Rich Asians is based on the 2013 novel of the same name written by Singaporean-American author Kevin Kwan. As noted by the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. has access to Kwan's entire trilogy, including 2015's China Rich Girlfriend and 2017's Rich People Problems. "We have a plan with Kevin for the next two films," producer Brad Simpson said.
