While the shark thriller The Meg defied initial box office predictions, it is still a high-budget, high-concept studio movie of the type that frequently makes a box office splash. The real break-out movie of the month is Crazy Rich Asians, the modestly-budgeted romantic comedy which has maintained its hold of the top of the US box office chart in its second week of release, with very little audience fall-off.

　　Crazy Rich Asians dropped just 5.7% from last week, to make a hugely impressive $24.8 million over its second three-day weekend. To date, it has made $76 million in the US, and Box Office Mojo suggests that it could finish its run having grossed more than $150 million domestically, from a production budget of just $30 million.
