Which studio distributed Crazy Rich Asians, the 2018 romantic comedy with an all-Asian principal cast?

The story behind the answer

Warner Bros. Pictures distributed Crazy Rich Asians, the 2018 romantic comedy featuring an all-Asian principal cast.

Directed by Jon M. Chu, the film adapts Kevin Kwan's 2013 novel. It follows Rachel Chu, an economics professor from New York, as she discovers that her boyfriend Nick Young belongs to one of Singapore's wealthiest families.

Warner Bros. released the film in the United States on August 15, 2018. Its commercial success and cultural visibility made it a major milestone for Asian representation in a contemporary Hollywood romantic comedy.

The film is often described as the first Hollywood studio movie since 1993's The Joy Luck Club to feature a predominantly Asian cast, although that wording refers to a major Hollywood production rather than every film made in the United States. Constance Wu and Henry Golding lead the cast.
