[Thomas Beck]

Read the book.

 

The movie was better.

[Lordmandeep]

Maybe my life experience is coloured through watching a dozen Bollywood movies with a similar storyline...

 

 

So maybe to Western Audiences, this was some great novel romantic comedy but to me, this was pretty simple and basic story I have seen often in movies.

 

It was good at times though

Based on presales in China, this looks like it is heading for a 2-3M OW there.

[ZeeSoh]

About 120.8m in profits according to Deadline. Thats great on a 30m budget

Great movie. Constance Wu was spectacular. So insanely likable! 

[Darth Lehnsherr]

Can't wait for the sequel. Did quite well in Australia

[filmlover]

The latest movie getting the Broadway treatment.

 

 

[Morieris]

I hope they use some of the music from the movie because I always liked this one (though I'm learning it wasn't made for the movie. So probs not)

...So where are the MOVIE sequels, huh??  Astounding that these haven't gotten made.  Creative disagreements behind the scenes must be huge...

Probably became a casualty of the talent becoming too busy to immediately film them + COVID striking less than two years later. At this point any sequels would likely see a big dive in grosses now that the books are no longer as popular as they were six years ago.

[Eric the Minion]

Not everything needs a sequel if I’m being honest. Makes things more special.

[Thomas Beck]

How time flies.

In 2019 it was revealed WB made a lowball offer to AdeIe Lim for writing the sequel's screenplay, so she walked. You wonder if all the other Asian women screenwriters refused to work on it in solidarity (or an implicit threat of blacklisting).

 

Also, Gemma Chan got caught accidentally liking an extremely negative tweet about Constance Wu.

 

The biggest factor was probably the pandemic changing WB priorities.
