The Crazy Rich Asians sequel has stalled after co-writer Adele Lim exits because of a massive pay parity issue. (Warner Bros.' starting offers were $800,000 to $1 million for Chiarelli and $110,000-plus for Lim.)

Opening weekend box office is very important to the success of a film. See #CrazyRichAsians in theaters THIS weekend if: - You want more romantic comedies. - You want more movie stars who look like this. - You want more diverse stories, of any kind, on the big screen

This is a fascinating issue. Yes, the old system for writersโ€™ rates is based on quotes, which are based on experience. But Lim, the filmโ€™s only Asian writer, brought an authenticity to this project that it would have failed without.
