Eddie Murphy’s 1988 comedy Coming to America tells the story of a rich and powerful African prince who embarks on a journey to find a bride who will love him regardless of his social status and wealth. Produced at perhaps the height of Murphy’s popularity, the film became a financial and fan hit, with a legacy so powerful that the sequel, Coming 2 America, is highly anticipated, despite an over 30-year gap between flicks.
Canadian Whiskey brand Crown Royal, in partnership with the film set to be debut on Amazon in March, has now released a limited-edition bottle featuring themed packaging. The beautiful set also features a distinguished jacquard bag designed by the movie’s costume designer, Oscar-winner Ruth E. Carter. The box features a regal fabric worthy of Prince Akeem across the front, while the distinctive bag features gold and light purple that’s as much Zamunda as it is Crown Royal.
