Hong Kong (CNN Business) "Crazy Rich Asians" is finally getting a run in China's lucrative movie market.

The romantic comedy is scheduled to hit theaters in mainland China on November 30, Warner Bros. said Tuesday.

There had been some doubt about whether the movie, with a plot that features incredibly rich and privileged Asians, would get the go-ahead from China's film regulator. The Chinese government has in recent years frowned on anything that could be interpreted as a celebration of ostentatious wealth. Experts have also questioned whether the film's depiction of high-rolling members of the Chinese diaspora in Singapore would resonate with audiences in mainland China.

But Warner Bros. isn't playing down the crazy rich aspect of its movie. The studio announced the movie's Chinese release on social media with the promise of "yachts, parties, high-end lifestyle!"

China's movie regulator typically allows only 34 foreign films to be shown in theaters each year. Scoring one of those coveted slots can significantly boost a movie's global box office returns. Several big budget Hollywood films like "Ready Player One" and "Black Panther" had bigger debuts in China than in North America.
