‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Has Nutty Second Week

In its second weekend at the box office last week, The Meg dropped 53 percent from $45 million in its opening weekend to $21 million in its second. In the era of the modern box office, where most films collect a huge percentage of their box office in their opening weekends, a 53 percent drop was seen as very good. Meanwhile, Black Panther — the biggest movie of 2018, so far — saw an incredibly good 44 percent drop in its second weekend.
