Crazy Rich Asians is crazy successful. After a stellar opening weekend, and a strong second week with just a 6% drop, the romantic comedy has won the box office again in it's third weekend, bringing home $22.2 million and a projected $30 million by Labor Day, according to Business Insider.

Forbes reports that the film has already surpassed Trainwreck (2015), Bad Moms (2016), and Girls Trip (2017), with a real chance at becoming the second-biggest romantic comedy in film history, behind My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002).

The film's star, Constance Wu, celebrated the third week on top with a still of her and co-star Henry Golding on Instagram. Both are en route to London where they will join their cast for press ahead of the U.K. premiere on September 15th.

Thanks for making @crazyrichasians the #1 movie in America for the third week in a row! ⭐️ I’ll be flying to London tomorrow to promote the upcoming U.K. release of #crazyrichasians on 9/15/2018 hope to see you there x @crazyrichasians
